Homemade VST

There are always people on these forums asking for recommendations for commercial VSTs or freeware VSTs, but I'm wondering how many of you on this forum make your own VSTs? I'm just starting to learn Max/MSP so I am curious who else has attempted programming their own... and what do you use to make VSTs if not Max/MSP?

:?:

Csound
Max/Msp
Reaktor
Synthedit
C++
SynthMaker
Delphi
Assembly (if you're psycho enough) :lol:

Would be the major choices I'd assume.
I hear delphi is quite good and whilst Synthmaker is in its beta stage it is rather sexy looking and will export as a VSTi .

God I remember assembler, I was using it to create funky stuff that would run off my boot sector before DOS loaded...mm the fun of setting 8 bits at a time and executing it.

Took 4 lines of code just to write something that would print one letter to the screen...

Thanks all, but I wasn't really asking for help, I was just wondering how many of YOU actually "roll-your-own" VSTs? It would be nice to see other users progress on what they have made, especially if you are just starting out.

i think if people did make their own theyd probably announce it for us to try

i'm just starting to learn synthedit, and when i have enough skills, i'll start to learn Pure Data... unfortunately i'm at a very very low level, and can't bring you any help or any home-made VST

If you're counting Reaktor in with this, the answer's yes in my case.
Half the music I do uses Reaktor ensembles that I've built- and quite often I've built them for the piece they're used in.

Ahh, Pure Data is made by the same guy who originally made Max. You should be able to get some interesting results if you stick with it. Both PD and Max/MSP can be pretty overwhelming at first if you don't have enough time and patience to put into it (which is my problem at the moment) but boy, the potential!
