jBridge
jBridge is an application designed for bridging VST plugins (up to the 2.4 VST specification).
Using inter-process communication mechanisms, it aims to make it possible to run 32bit plugins in 64bit hosts, 64bit plugins in 32bit hosts, or even bridging 32bit plugins to 32bit hosts, allowing to overcome the memory limitations of a single 32bit process, in this last case.
A demo version is available here (v1.4) and here (v1.5).
This software works in Windows XP/Vista/7 only – To make use of all its features, a 64bit Windows OS such as Vista or 7 is recommended.
( note: your full version will be delivered in the specified email address, within a maximum period of 24h )
Cantabile 2.0 provides built-in support for jBridge.*
From v1.1 onwards, "jbridged" plugins can have their GUI integrated with your host.
Cakewalk Sonar 8.5 provides built-in support for jBridge.*
Use 64-bit plugins in your favorite 32-bit host with jBridge
Please read this section for details on how to use it. The demo is fully functional, but it will go silent after 20 minutes.
*note: hosts with built-in support for jBridge don’t require any additional setup step or the use of the jBridger tool, as they will automatically detect and use jBridge if needed.

I cannot get jbridge to work on the Absynth4 Stereo.dll. I am using Cubase 5 64 bit, Jbridge has worked on Omnisphere and Massive. One small issue, with Omnisphere it only works when I insert Omnisphere 64 into the VST Instruments panel. If I try to create an instrument track and insert Omnisphere there, I am told that the program looked for “Output 1 Stereo”, and found “Output 1″ therefore the track will be silent.
Thanks! I’ll take a look.
Wow, I love this idea! But why do you only support VST plugins and not also VST instruments? Espacially VST instruments need a lot of ram. So it would be absolut fantastic if you also could “outsorce” them from your host. I surprise honestly I would immediately pay 100 Dollar for this software if it also supports VST instruments.
Best regards from munich,
Peter
It supports both.
They’re all plugins.
Really? That would be fantastic
When I insert a VST effect, I see [jbridge] in the plugin-list. But when I insert a VST instrument I don’t see [jbride] in the list. I think I do a mistake, is it possible? Do you have an idea what the problem can be?
Best regards,
Peter
You may need to have your host to rescan the plugin’s folder again. I’ve noticed that some hosts will ignore duplicate plugins or won’t recognize them until they’re all re-scanned again.
Cheers!
Thanks, J, it works! Fantastic! I will keep my promise and I am glad beeing able to support our cool developement. Money is on the way…
One more thing: when I insert a jbridged VSTi I always have only one output for this instrument. Unfortunately I can’t activate more than one output. Is it my fault or a restriction in jbridge?
Best regards,
Peter
Thanks!
Check you mail.
I’ve answered you there as well.
Hi,
I tested JBridge in Reaper x64 and it works for almost all the plugins I have tried. If you could contact the Reaper development team, I’m sure that they would work with you so that the FXs could be displayed inside the FX chain window. Maybe you could cut a deal with them to license your code to use within Reaper x64?
Please post the PayPal amount to send in US$ also.
Just one more suggestion: I think that you can download a PayPal button with the supporting JS to post on your website so that it would easier to make a payment to encourage JBridge development.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Someone in the KVR thread suggested catering for audio streaming.
One scenario is to use the motheboard’s builtin multi-channel sound for studio headphone feeds, rather than expensive Output channels on the main sound card. Normally cannot use multiple ASIO hosts. I have tried Wormhole2 and VSTHost but but there were too many glitches.
Further to my post above about audio streaming, I was using ASIO4All for VSTHost.
However, if you made a VST plugin that wrote directly to a Realtek or Creative output [pair], you would probably cater for 80% of the motherboards. The output doen’t have to be at the DAW’s rate and bit depth.
About to try JBridge out. Looks like great utility. Does it support midi vst plugins? Sonar Bitbridge doesn’t support midi output. If you can implement that feature, I can use my midi plugins in Sonar x64.
Yes, it supports midi output. : )
Just tested in Sonar x64 and found my midi plugin works.:-) Getting trouble with Altiverb, but Sonar’s Bitbridge works OK with that. Nomad Blue Tubes: Keep getting errors and no GUI message. Is this because it’s still beta?
Or it may be because of its protection mechanism.
Thanks J, it’s working.
Hey J, your jbridge is working fine. The only problem I have is, that I always have to insert the S/N at some vsts, each time when I open them, and also always when I open a new instance of this vst. Another one I cannot use, because the registration belongs only toe the vst.dll, and unfortunately not to “you” vst.64.dll. As I talked to the developper, he said, it is because your program doesn’t check the registry.
Do you think you can solve it. This will be more than only great . . .
