VSTplayer

VSTplayer is a program built for keyboard performers that want to use VST plugins on stage, together with their music tools.

Straightforward interface

Built for musicians, VSTplayer uses a nice and simple GUI where the main object of interest is the proxy digital keyboard. You can use your mouse and keyboard, and receive visual feedback when certain keys on the MIDI keyboard are being pressed, giving their allocated effect.
VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins basically bring additional functionality to existing keyboards and synthesizers via a digital audio workstation. These usually come with an extra GUI to the existing device for an improved user control.
In this regard, VSTplayer does exactly that. Once a musician boots the software application, it will ask for existing MIDI keyboards or external device connections in order to properly transmit their signal.

Available options

VSTplayer offers a limited amount of options to its users. Besides the four MIDI keyboard connections, users can change the audio interface which detects devices present in the soundcard. However, the list of control terminals is pretty exhaustive. When users open a new project, they can have up to 8 VST plugins opened with 3 VST effects on each row.
Aside all these effects, users can also modify the default tempo, general volume and even have a small CPU visual tracker to see how loaded the processors are with all the added extra VST effects.

Conclusion

VSTplayer is a great VST plugin platform that can hold a big number of plugins working concomitantly in each project. All of the eight simultaneous VST plugins can be individually fine-tuned to provide a desired effect for the perfect polyphony sound.
With Midi keyboards attached, VSTplayer can become the main platform for both instrument and plugin management. This way, artists can multitask between devices with ease and create music with very little effort.
