3) Plugin

vst

 

Jasuto VST plugin for OSX (Universal binary) 32bit

Jasuto VST plugin for Windows 32bit

 

Above is the Mac and Windows VST with no iPhone or Midi support yet.  This version is still very early so expect plenty of fun bugs!  Also I’ve only tested this with Ableton Live so I have no idea how well it works in other hosts for now…

If you are using the Win32 plugin make sure that you drag the entire JasutoVST folder (not just the Jasuto.dll) to your VST folder. Otherwise it will crash when loading because it won’t have access to its textures, fonts, etc.

To get input coming into the plugin just create a “Mic” node and a “Speaker” node and hook them together.

Don’t create more than one instance of the plugin at a time, there’s still some dirt in there from the iPhone build preventing this but I’ve just about got it fully sorted.

For now you will get the best framerate/performance when the host’s sample buffer size is less than or equal to 512 @ 44khz.

So have at it, let me know what you think and please report any issues that you run into.

Before you start you should really read through the basics section on the website to get familiar with the way things work and the overall design ethos.

To zoom in use the mouse wheel also double-clicking has several different modes, you can find more detail about this in the basics section.  If you can’t zoom in with the mouse wheel let me know, I’ve seen this problem popup in the Windows version.

You can also check out the example patches by clicking the ‘File’ menu, choosing ‘Open’ then selecting a letter A-H.  You can save over the examples any time you’d like.

  • Patch (A) is a simple analog-ish bassline.  Double click the ‘Keys’ node to open the MIDI keyboard to start playing.  You can slide your finger while holding a key left/right for pitch bending and up/down for modulation.
  • Patch (B) is an example of how to use the step sequencer.  Double click the ‘Seq’ node to edit the notes.
  • Patch (C) is an example of recording motion or automation, you can play with the tempo by expanding the ‘XPort’ menu.
  • Patch (D) is a classic sound check, use can restart it by using the ‘Xport’ and clicking ‘Stop’ twice’.
  • Patch (E) is a quick example of how to use phase resets to get that sync sound.
  • Patch (F) shows how to use microphone input to make a simple Ocarina.  Double click the ‘Keys’ node to open the MIDI keyboard, press a note and blow into the mic to start the sound.  The multi-touch can take a lot of processing so this patch also shows you how to force the overlay to be opaque, this will stop the background from rendering.  The VST version of this patch just takes the input from the host and kind of uses it to reset the phase of the oscillator.
  • Patch (G) is another example of using envelopes and the sequencer.
  • Patch (H) shows how to create feedback loops using the ‘Link’ node.

Again these patches are pretty simplistic but they should give you an idea of how things work.  Eventually you will be able to share your patches online through the GUI, but for now you can only save them…

    Hey dude

    Thanks a million for this nice tool which i`ll try out this week.
    Compliments on the GUI already. Nice use of colors / graphics
    Original approach.

    Depending on the quality of the sound i can make you a demo.

    Install instructions for OS X: unzip download linked above, copy Jasuto.vst folder to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST folder on your OSX system disk.

    Thanx 4 this ! U Rock !
    (I’m already dreaming about boost-python magic to use your GUI to access Ableton-live python API :p)

    I’m finally about to enjoy my touch screen ! ^^

  8. Mike says:

    Hey great synth! :) i love the design and sounds, works great on
    my iphone- and i am itching to use the vst version in my music! but unfortunately seems to crash when i create a midi track and try to add it… :( i use live 7 on a mac. any ideas?? Mike

  9. dylan says:

    sorry if this is a really stupid question, but am i able to download the patch i create in jasuto so that i can load it into reason, for example, and use it as a patch on my computer? in the end i want to have a patch i can load into my computer with reason or whatever program and play that patch with my midi controller. i enabled the server, directed my browser to the site, but all i got when i clicked on the file was a bunch of coding. am i supposed to do something with that?
    thanks in advance and i appreciate all your work!

  10. Daniel says:

    I’m a little confused… How do you install the software?

  11. hawklord2112 says:

    hi there – just wanted to say, this is a killer app for the iphone – one request – can you get it to use the speaker and not the earpiece?

    also – the VST doesnt play well with chainer, either…

  12. hemicube says:

    You can switch the audio routing to the speaker through the menus: system->dsp->routing->speaker

  13. jason pitt says:

    Jahsuto Crashes hard when using ableton live 7 at 48KHz

  14. hemicube says:

    Yeah, the current version of the plug likes 44khz :)

  15. samell says:

    Will the plug work in Digital Performer?

  16. malutki says:

    Hi there,
    I love the idea of jasuto!
    Unfortunately I cannot get it to work on Win Xp SP3 :(
    Neither in Live 7 nor AudioMulch2.
    I do have the complete JasutoVst-folder in my VST-folder…

  17. malutki says:

    ooops, sorry ;)
    did not notice that there is also a forum before posting my last comment.
    also this: “the VST/AU will be released with Jasuto2.0″ Yay!
    also, your app got me wanting to buy an iPodtouch…
    so I will just be patient for whichever happens first ;)

  18. azkel says:

    Hi there,
    Love the idea as well, looks like the reactable.
    However I encountered another problem, when I try to open jasuto, my gleetchlab plug-in is opening…So I have deleted Jasuto and downloaded again, and unfortunately, cannot get it to work either…

  19. Matteo says:

    Hi, i’m using Live 7 on my mac, i installed the plugin in the vst folder, i’m workng @44,1 kHz, but still the plugin (or should i say the whole Live) crash when i open it…it seems that he cannot load texture, fonts etc.. that are in the Contents folder inside the .vst file…can you help?
    thank you in advance!!

  20. Joel says:

    Hi, will there be an AU version? I would think it would be easier than a vst to port from iPhone?

  21. Graeme says:

    Hi, great work on Jasuto! Bug Report: Mac OS X 10.5.7, Reaper 2.58, Jasuto shows up as a VST effect, when I try to insert it on a track, it crashes Reaper.

  22. doolmen says:

    Hi, I donwload the windows version, and I use Nuendo and W7. But, I paste the jasutovst to the folder of VST. But not appear like a VST instrument or else like a effect to audio track. What I did wrong?
    Thankx
    PD: I’m spanish and my english is very poor.

  23. doolmen says:

    hi again…
    I see… what the nuendo 4 recognizes jasuto like a FX not like a Instrument and no run. But i don’t know if I can this option, or you make a change…

    Would I do?

  24. nelsonmd says:

    Works in my laptop running XP, desktop is Windows 7, tried it but freezes in FL8 XXL producer edition, which is the same that’s on my laptop.

  25. lysdexic says:

    plug crashes ableton7 @ 44.1. os = vista.

    flawless on iphone, much respect :)

  26. viper radio says:

    Tried running on laptop with xp, sp3.
    Bombed Cantobile Lite twice.
    Scanned into Hermann Seib’s VSTiHost, and bombed that too!

    As much as I’d love to use it, it’s too unstable, and unfortunately I’ve had to delete it.

    I will be back as soon as I know stability is not going to be such an issue – there’s too much promise of great things to come with Jasuto for me to walk off and leave it lying in the dust!!!

  27. trex says:

    Works great in Rax on Mac 10.5.8!! Thanks for the awesome sound tool!

  28. mac leopard says:

    I am really glad to see that you are putting so much of effort for encouraging the visitors with valueable posts like this, I have sent this post to my myspace account.

  29. mac leopard says:

    Very Good information,I have Digged this site for future and will keep a eye on your other postings. Thank you

  30. Jelion says:

    This is really original! I’m really waiting for iphone support for the OS X plugin version. I tried to load a patch I made on my iPhone into the OS X plugin Jasuto running in Ableton Live. I guess it doesn’t work yet (as mentioned in the first paragraph of this page).

    That’s a big request on my behalf. To be able to make synth patches on the move with Jasuto on iPhone and then load the patch in a proper DAW would really make it a worthwile app. Now it’s only useful for sketching ideas and recording them as audio.

    Still, thumbs up for the original idea!

  31. Rossin says:

    Your plug in doesn’t work on Win XP SP3 with Sonar7.
    Will check the forum for probable solutions already treated but thanks for your hard work anyway,
    cheers!

  32. [...] ?). En attendant, voici quelque vidéo de la version iPhone ou VST (oui, il existe aussi en VSTi) [...]

  33. Aaron says:

    This was announced sooo long ago, still waiting for the promised iPod export/VST Import. Btw.. where are the red bolded instructions for OSX?

  34. Alex Tomb says:

    Hi,I downloaded the vst plugin but is not recognised from ableton and doesnt come up…
