[SOLVED] Is there a way to index vsts?
Hi.
I know how to index native machines but I fail with vst's. Is it impossible or is it me again?

Re: Is there a way to index vsts?
when i install vsts in the vst folder i use the company name as a subfolder and install all related vats into that folder. There are other ways to structure the folders

Hi Bronto,
make sure that your index file contains this lines:
Polac VSTi,
*Polac VSTi 1.1, VSTi
*Polac VST 1.1, VST
/Polac Loader
Polac VSTi 1.1, Polac VSTi
Polac VST 1.1, Polac VST
Important are the asterisks: *
The first line is only for headlining your index file for organization purposes.
Line 2 und 3 are essential.
Line 4 containing the subfolders in line 5 and 6 gives you the option to open a plain Polacs Loader without any VST or VSTi loaded inside.
So this should work presuming that you have your VSTs collected in *Buzzroot*/gear/vst.
As boombaxx pointed out, you can organize your VSTs in subfolders to your own comfort in any way you like.
For example, you could organize all your vst-generators in a sub folder "Generator" with subsequent folders like "FM-Synthesis" or what ever you like, all vst-effects could be organized under subfolder "Effects" with subsequent folders like "Delay" and so on.

Re: Is there a way to index vsts?
Just a remark on having the vst-folder in the gear directory, I found out that I had some trouble with the Jeskola Freeverb, it used sometimes 70percent CPU (P4!) if I loaded an old bmx-file from the archives (really cool stuff there), so I tried a thousand different things ... the solution for most cases was to get some vst out of my gear/vst folder ... No Joke! But perhaps it is just my outdated system?!So this should work presuming that you have your VSTs collected in *Buzzroot*/gear/vst.

sounds like a denormal issue, try to feed it (very low) input continuously.Buzztler wrote:Just a remark on having the vst-folder in the gear directory, I found out that I had some trouble with the Jeskola Freeverb, it used sometimes 70percent CPU (P4!)So this should work presuming that you have your VSTs collected in *Buzzroot*/gear/vst.

Some older remarks on Freeverb:

And to push it even more off topic,
here is some SVerb diss from an earlier discussion:

Thanks for helping! I'll look into it tomorrow. Might be the asterisk thingy.
About denormality I have to link to this fantastic tip from Pac

Re: Is there a way to index vsts?
Using a company name seemed logical at the time because i had NI Komplete 2. Stuck to that ever since to easy to go overboard with vsts though. And end up with a pregnant hippo of a vst collection
Re: Is there a way to index vsts?
Didn't wanna push anything ... even if I have a denormality problem I solved it by taking some vst plugin-folders out of the gear directory ... ... anyway thank you for your useful hints I'll check out freeverb for NewBuzz and also da Cheapo Fixer ... I just love to listen to stuff from the song archive ...And to push it even more off topic,
So, finally thank you for your answers ... I get high with a little help from my friends ...
Re: Is there a way to index vsts?
Best solution for indexing VSTs imo:
Install all VST plugins somewhere outside the BUZZ folder!
Make shortcuts of the DLLs you want to index and place them
inside the BUZZ/VST folder into subfolders of your choice.

Re: Is there a way to index vsts?
Remember to add to the scan list in polac prefs or it won't see anything. I always use a different folder and use the scan function

Hello, i would like to point to my posting here.

How did you get the Cols+Rows of the VST Loader to work in the loaders submenu?

Thanks for all help!

Yes, but what will you do if you have 296 Plugins installed ?thOke wrote:Best solution for indexing VSTs imo:

Using subfolders will only work if you exactly know which files from the VST folder
belong to a certain plugin. And there are many of them.
Installing all plugins newly should not be the solution, that could end up easily in a mess.
Why not talking to Oskari, he might want to have alook at the menu bug so the VST Loaders
submenus can work again.

Re: [SOLVED] Is there a way to index vsts?
..few years later.
I would like to come back to the loader submenu issue. The solution above may be resolved with newer loaders.
But what if someone has the old old loaders still in use ?
The reason i am asking is, i have hundrets of older songs on my HD , replacing any old loader would be a work of month.

PS: Did oskari stop developing buzz 2 ? I havent seen any changes in the past 2 years.
