Re: Re: VSTPlugin v0.5 pre-release!

I’m generating a whole RPP project file with music in the chunk data of a
piano roll vst3.

Each generation is it’s own composition. I’m trying to work
programmatically with rapid iteration.

Is Reapers chunk data, itself just a vstpreset file? I thought they were
different, but maybe not so in VST3?

The base64 is encoding a simple json string.

I haven’t tried to hack around with vstpresets yet.

Doesn’t every DAW have to field this chunk data? It’s a plug-in dev side
interface right?
