Hello guys

As mentioned in a previous post, I was working on porting the A/B Audio Switch plugin to VST and I am very happy to announce the release.

https://pongasoft.com/vst/ABSwitch.html

Not only is it free but it is also 100% open source so you can fork and modify if you wish ;)

It is currently available for macOS as a binary but will be looking at compiling it on PC as well fairly soon. As I am the only user right now, I would appreciate if you can try it on your own computer and VST 2.4 (or 3.0) compatible DAW. I did try it with Reason and Maschine and it is working great.

The huge difference with the Rack Extension (besides no CV) is the resolution: the VST plugin is built using nothing more than the VST SDK (no framework like Juce, etc...) and it supports out of the box 4K/Retina screen (2x images). As a result it looks quite sharp!

Note that in Reason it appears under Effects not Utilities. I am not entirely sure how to make it appear under the other category...

Hope you enjoy and would appreciate feedback and/or comments.

Thanks for the freebie and for making it open source. I'm sure others will find it useful.

Will definitely give this a shot and report any issues. Thanks for this. I'm a huge fan of your A/B switch in Reason, it's an indispensable part of my Reason template.

Incredible! I've been interested in RE and VST dev for a while so will definitely check out the code. RE development seems rather bloated to me, I really like the concept but the GUI system is way over my head at the moment.

Thanks for sharing!
