[sdiy] Electronic Music Circuits books, VST programming?

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

Barry,

The issue isn't so much the VST interface vs the internals of the plug in.
Steinberg offers most of their documentation online at:

The real issue becomes the internals of the plug-in. I think that is where
some good documentation would benefit people. A lot of this stuff is based
on DSP/NSP (Native Signal Processing, an Intel term I've been corrupted
with) algorithms. Most of the audio realm in DSP books has been covered
casually in a very theoretical way. They are more interested in telephony,
radar and things like that. Basically a little detail covered by mucho
theory and math. To me a book targeting audio in the way we use it (reverbs,
flanger/chourus/delay, filters, distortion, soft-synths, analog circuit
simulation vs DSP algorithms) with more real code vs just the equations
would be nice.
