VST's

[mjmclane]

Ever going to consider making HX Stomp capable of hosting VST's?  Sooner or later (probably in the works now) somebody is going to come out with a small box like the Stomp that will run any VST you want to put in it (like Mainstage for Apple).

While the idea is great, it certainly won't happen with a device such as a Stomp. All programming issues aside (and these will already be enough, but still...): How are you going to manage a plugin with hundreds of parameters on that screen with 3 encoders only?

Hi,

 

Sooner or later - hmm… it has already been done, but not with HX products, and I don’t think that will be happening anytime soon.

 

Somebody has come out with a small box like the Stomp that can run plug-ins, you really need to check out the Dwarf from MOD Audio.

 

Here ya go!

Hope this helps makes sense.

If I wanted to build a plugin-compatible rig, I'd either get a Macbook Air (or maybe a Mac Mini) and possibly think of something to remote controling it, so it never gets exposed on stage. The reason for using a Mac being that right now there's no more efficient computers around.

Would however defenitely come with quite some additional costs, as you needed the software, a decent audio interface, a rack of some sorts and a controlling unit sitting on the floor. But others than that, it's very doable. And it'd be an incredible flexible setup, both soundwise but also from a utilitarian POV.
