Any way to instantly bypass / un-bypass a VST plugin?

Thanks for the replies! It turns out that most VSTs actually do bypass virtually instantly - the one I was testing just had a slight delay. Silly - I should have tested more.

Yes, it depends on the VST.
There is no rule!

In the example above, you can wire 'my bypass' to the bypass of the vst and get the cpu savings and the bypass all with one button.

For me, I put the vst in a subpatch and use a patch on/off module instead of bypass. I think some vsts still use cpu when bypassed (not sure....)

Build you "own" bypass.

Route the signal around your VST.

The patch of a VST created by Usine

and here's one possible solution:

There are many other ways to do so. (eg. put a fader in front of the vst and set the fader only 0 & 100%)

This solution is fast. Disadvantage: the vst is not stopped and sucks CPU performance during the bypass time.

I've just started having a play around with Usine, and I love how powerful and flexible it is.

One problem that I'm encountering, though, is that when you switch a VST plugin between "bypassed" and "not bypassed", say by patching a switch into its "bypass" input, there's about a quarter-second delay before a change to this takes effect. Is there any way around this?

I really do need to deactivate the VST itself, to save CPU usage - simply routing the audio past the VST wouldn't be a workable solution.

Thanks!
