Title: Using VSTi in .it file, do I need a dll to play it?
Post by: Petroz on July 05, 2011, 11:34:29
I am composing some music for an Android game I am making. I am using FMOD to play the .it file but I'm not quite sure how VSTi will work. Can I create a standalone .it file that contains the VSTi or is the dll required in order to play the .it?

You cannot use VST plugins with libraries like FMOD. You'll have to render your instruments to samples.
You are even contradicting yourself: You want to run a Windows DLL on an Android device. How would you imagine that to work? Not to speak of the low CPU power of typical android devices, which would not be nearly enough for most VST plugins.

Is there a easier way to do this than export as wave in the file menu?

@Jojo: do you realize that fmod is also a .dll?

LPChip: Do you realize that FMOD is a library? Windows is not the only operating system that can handle libraries! On Linux the file would be called fmod.so for example, so on Android it's probably also fmod.so :P

I see... Yeah, am not a programmer :P but that must've been obvious by now.

That's right, I wouldn't consider writing programs in Visual Basic "programming" either! :nuts:
