Doing the automatic-audio-plugin-scanner code in Carla now, as needed for the "plugins in OBS" project.
It nicely trickles down to other projects that also use Carla for their plugin hosting.
Screenshot shows https://github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil happily listing and hosting VST2 plugins ☀️
So next Ildaeil release will have even more format-to-format capabilities!
VSTs in LV2 hosts? no problem!
CLAPs in VST hosts? sure thing!
throw VST3 too while at it, why not.
on the topic of running things on the browser, who wants some LV2 plugins?
let's say in between some of them ZynAddSubFX? 😱
No UI for now, just the engine and a selection of presets, playable through WebMIDI.
Some throw an exception when loaded, but most seem to work
Also I need to handle MIDI timing properly...
That said:
1. Load https://ildaeil.kx.studio/ in Firefox (Chrome not supported)
2. Select ZynAddSubFX, press "Load Plugin"
3. Press "Enable MIDI"
4. Select a preset and play
Enjoy? 😅
Something that has been brewing in the last few weeks...

This is a (bass/guitar-focused) Amp Model Player audio plugin, basically it loads AI trained models to realistically simulate an audio effect (amp, cab, dist, drive, fuzz, boost and eq).
Available as AU/CLAP/LV2/VST2/VST3 and Standalone.
Done in partnership with AIDA-DSP and MOD Audio.
Enjoy!
In case you didn't know, I am integrating my carla plugin host into OBS, so we can load all sorts of audio plugins directly in it.
my intention is to reuse Carla components as much as possible, both improving Carla and getting a very welcome feature into OBS at the same time.
it is progressing going quite well, with already stuff to show.
still a fair bit of things to do too but I am hopeful to get it into shape very soon! 🐎
see https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/discussions/5074 for more details
A slightly better showcase.. picking and loading plugins works now 😎
coming soon to your favorite streaming software...
or at least I hope so. initial tests are good, still a lot of integration to do.
The teased plugin has its first release, AIDA-X 0.1.0 is out! 🎉
See https://github.com/AidaDSP/AIDA-X
This is an "Amp Model Player leveraging AI", basically a loader for AI trained models that simulate any combination of amp, cab, dist, drive, fuzz, boost and eq,
It is a joint effort between me, MOD and Aida DSP folks.
You can find related resources in https://forum.mod.audio/c/neural/62 where we hope to create a hub for discussing, sharing and everything related to AIDA-X and AI models.
ignore the requests for a new name, the plan has changed and instead of doing a whole new thing it is now a merge of effort.
I am setting up all the desktop plugin bits at the moment.
Hopefully later in the week I have early builds ready for testing and enjoyment.
So literally coming soon... 🚀
A popup message on the website of an actual, real and quite good food-wise restaurant in Berlin.
They forgot to finish the site setup 😅
Who uses websites anymore, am I right..?
Soon the merge of 2 patchbay worlds.
MOD stuff through JACK, LV2 and its modguis with Cardinal and Rack-based plugins.
It's Cardinal in a (linux-embed) box!
Wolf-Shaper new release!
It is the v1.0 🎉
See more details at https://wolf-plugins.github.io/wolf-shaper/
It is not my own plugin, but I helped bring it up to speed to latest DPF stuff.
Grateful for the plugin, somehow I get mentioned 3 times in the release notes 😊
https://github.com/wolf-plugins/wolf-shaper/releases/tag/v1.0.0
Now with VST3 and CLAP 👏
#clap
Perks of building stuff on top of LV2 and split DSP / UI design: you can keep multiple UI instances in sync.
Perfect if multiple people need to adjust the same setup!
Continuing the adventures on MOD pedalboard and web-assembly-compiled GUIs..
The workflow of click-to-focus was too awkward so I have changed that now. The usual bypass switch was also missing, which gave me an idea...
What if we use a window-like top-bar with the bypass switch on it? Then the “window title” space can be for the plugin name. It reminds me of the Gnome Desktop 😅
Continuing the experiments, have Cardinal inside the MOD pedalboard view 😱 🚀 ☀️
Interaction is a bit weird, so I am thinking of adding some quick controls on the top. So we move the GUI more easily, and a fullscreen button.
I see potential here...
When you have a web frontend stuff and are doing web-assembly+webgl experiments on the side, the conclusion is obvious - let's mix the two!
took some time to setup, and still doing testing, but damn got plugin's full desktop UIs working inside the browser. 😱
the audio is processed on a remote system with the wasm+webgl for the frontend view (among the other MOD things of course).
I love how we can integrate the 2 like that. specially like being able to do web GUIs without web tech 😅
Just noticed Luciano Iam updated to latest DPF and enabled CLAP builds. 👏 👏
Of course also in other formats, LV2, VST2 and VST3 are there.
The https://github.com/lucianoiam/consul project is specially cool, like a custom OSC remote control but simplified and in audio plugin form.
Also https://github.com/lucianoiam/hiphop is updated, which is how the plugins are built. Providing a way to mix JavaScript/HTML/CSS and plugin GUIs.
Cool stuff!
ZamAudio and CLAP, just one more fix to get this working fully 👏 👏
See https://www.zamaudio.com/?p=976 for details on these.
The 4.0 release already has VST3 and CLAP, but a little fix is needed to get them to work nicely in these formats. Pull request already sent upstream.
