Pedalboard2 by Niall Moody.
Niall Moody has released Pedalboard2, a freeware modular live VST host for Windows based on the JUCE audio plugin host code.
Some time ago I made a VST host designed to act as a pedalboard for my guitar, controlled via a hacked joystick-cum-footpedal. It was pretty ugly, and not very good, and I never really used it as much as I was expecting to.
Recently though, I found myself again in need of a decent plugin host for live use. Looking around, it seems there still isn’t a good free/low cost solution that would suit me, so I re-wrote the pedalboard.
It’s based on the JUCE ‘audio plugin host’ code, which let me avoid having to code the trickier hosting stuff, though there was still a fair bit of work involved in getting everything working the way I wanted.
Pedalboard2 is available for free download on Niall Moody’s website.
