Converting a module to vst

valley’s plateau is my favorite reverb effect ever. when working in a DAW, i often wish that i could summon it up and use it without exporting and taking the audio to vcv or using the bridge. is it possible to convert plateau or any other module for that matter into a dsp vst?

VCV Rack VST is coming. Or you could use this:

that works thanks!

I’m curious which framework was used for the plateau vst/au plugins. it looks great!

You’ll need to ask @KlirrFactory :slight_smile:

it is done in RackAFX as Hagen states on his site :wink:

I ported Plateau to vst myself for free: Plateau Plate Reverb (Free VST3 + AU) The way I did it was to first get the plateau source code and then dissect it piece by piece until I understood what everything did. Then I was able to adapt the DSP for use as a plugin rather than a module using the iPlug2 framework.

Where can we find the source-code of your plugin?

Since ValleyRackFree source is licensed GPL-3.0-or-later you are obliged to share.

cheers

I second the request for source code.

Also note that the knob assets you are using on that GUI come from the “component library”, which are licensed as CC-BY-NC, see Rack/LICENSE.md at v2 · VCVRack/Rack · GitHub

The NC here means non-commercial, so selling stuff that uses it breaks its license.

EDIT: source is at GitHub - rubyswolf/Plateau: A clone of Plateau by Valley

Hmm, that uses DPF (!!) not iPlug2 …

the source is listed under the download page but it’s here: GitHub - rubyswolf/iPlateau: iPlug2 version of Plateau

I originally made it in dpf but it wasn’t working on Mac so I switched frameworks to iPlug2, probably forgot to update it on the product page

I don’t see the source linked on the page you linked.

But what @falkTX said still holds: using these CC-BY-NC assets you cannot ask for money ($0 and open donation can still count as asking).

Btw the DPF version builds fine under Linux, it probably works fine on macOS too.

ps; it’s “available” not “avalible” :wink:

the problem was only occuring if you try to run the plugin on a device other than the one it was built on, it just wasn’t working. but the plugin is working fine now with iPlug and I’m finding it easier to use than DPF.

alright I’ve turned off donations now so it’s not commercial

I made a new version of plateau with a UI overall and new textures to avoid this issue. I also thought I’d add a bunch of new features while I was at it to make the reverb even better while still keeping it as a free VST+AU plugin. Here’s the new version if you’re interested

Was playing with it last night, some great sounds in there. I feel like it needs to go full circle and return to Rack as Plateau 2!
