Overview
The Plugin Host is a host for virtual amp dll. The Plugin Host supports up to 3 instances of plugins (virtualAmp.dll in 64 bit), which are executed in series. The block sizes and sample rate will be defined by the sound card settings and used for all plugins. The plugin needs to handle the block size conversion internally in case it is not matching the block size of the device/instance. A sample rate conversion is currently not supported by the virtual Amp and will cause a error message and stop the processing.
