SurroundCast - first to offer VST for Radio!

The development team has worked over a year on preparing the SurroundCast engine to work alongside with VST plug-ins.

The Concept and idea is basic to the core, VST in Radio, is the perfect and most acceptable format for (2)-(6.1) playback of Multi-Channel Audio. Using VST plug-ins allows users to experience over 32,000 effects available online (most are free) . With SurroundCast it is as simple as click and load your VST .dll directly into the VST Manager.

What is a VST Plug-In?

In the widest possible sense a VST Plug-In is an audio process. A VST Plug-In is not an application. It needs a host application that handles the audio streams and makes use of the process the VST Plug-In supplies.

Generally speaking, it can take a stream of audio data, apply a process to the audio and send the result back the host application. A VST Plug-In performs its process normally using the processor of the computer, it does not necessarily need dedicated digital signal processors. The audio stream is broken down into a series of blocks. The host supplies the blocks in sequence. The host and its current environment control the block-size. The VST Plug-In maintains all parameters statuses that refer to the running process: The host does not maintain any information about what the Plug-In did with the last block of data it processed.

From the host application’s point of view, a VST Plug-In is a black box with an arbitrary number of inputs, outputs (Midi or Audio), and associated parameters. The Host needs no knowledge of the Plug-In process to be able to use it.

The Plug-In process can use whatever parameters it wishes, internally to the process, but it can choose to allow the changes to user parameters to be automated by the host, if the host application wishes to do so.

The source code of a VST Plug-In is platform independent, but the delivery system depends on the platform architecture.
