Handling channels?
Can we limit the plugin to be only stereo, or should we support multiple channel always?

You can limit a plugin to be stereo only. If it's necessary for the design of the plugin, then I see no reason not to do it.

Thanks! Is this code handling channels?
Code:
#define PLUG_CHANNEL_IO "1-1 2-2"
In this example it is not possible to use the plugin in mono mode, right?

just change it to
Code:
#define PLUG_CHANNEL_IO "2-2"
1-1 means 1 in, 1 out (or mono)

Thanks. So in this way I will have only stereo mode? How many inputs and outputs can we have?

not sure what the limit is in the different formats. Most I've ever needed was 8, but I know kontakt has a 32 channel output version.

Note that, AFAIK, #define PLUG_CHANNEL_IO "2-2" will simply allocate 2 input and 2 output buffers within IPlug. I don't think it will necessarily limit all hosts/formats to 2-2 i.e. I think you can probably still disconnect some pins...

I do know that if you set your channel configuration to 2-2, there won't be a mono RTAS or AAX version.

With VST3 it´s the same.
I allways have Stereo IN/OUTs in my VST3 Plugins if I set the configuration to "1-1 2-2"
Maybe its only in Cubase 8.5. (testet on Mono Channels). I also tested in Reaper, but Reaper has very free channel configurations.

I have a similar problem with my plugin.
When I set the channel config to "1-1 2-2",the VST2 version works fine in Reaper , but the VST3 version only produces sound on the left channel (didn't check any other hosts so far).
Any ideas ?

I am working on a 64 channel extended panoramic plug-in, and there is no problem with that.

I found the cause for my issue mentioned above:
I'm calling IsInChannelConnected(1) for determing mono/stereo processing and the VST2 version properly receives true when inserting on a Reaper track, but the VST3 version receives false.
Can anyone confirm (or not) or shed some light ?

I remember discovering that I couldn't trust this function, so I finally added a drop down menu to select the working mode, and explained in the manual why this was a feature :-)
