InterProcessCommunication

Post by Clemens W »

Hi Guys :-)

I wanna make a couple of vst's which need be able to realtime-communicate with each other while running on my daw-tracks. There is already a wonderful introduction into this topic which shows how to share some float values with a dll. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2586

But my PROBLEM is: After a half year of trying I don't find a way to pass a STRING from one vst to anonother. Floats (Frames) always work fine, but I wonder why it doesn't work with strings, although I rewrote the c++ file for using strings...

Has somebody an idea? Are there maybe other ways to have InterProcessCommunication over RAM with strings?

Thanks

I've heard, that flowstone uses the same ruby interpreter in all its instances. That means ruby shares constants and class variables between plugins. I have not tested it myself.
