Anyone wants to work together on a free plugin version of VCVRack?
Would be based on DPF, so we get LV2, VST2 and VST3 versions.
I can handle the build setup, but will need help from those knowledgeable of VCV in general, specially for dealing with module development.
If you are interested (and can offer something to help) please leave a comment on https://github.com/DISTRHO/CVCRack/issues/1
Thanks!
It is official, I hate VST3.
What a mess of a plugin spec, this is stuff of nightmares.
Those that complain about LV2 have never dug deep into into VST3 internals...
From the UTF16, to arbitrary pointers being passed around like hot potatoes, to MIDI support being non-existent and needed workarounds being a complete mess, to component/controller separation being awful and awkward to work with, to having multiple ways to change parameters, to hosts doing things quite differently...
I hate it.

OwnCast is a free open source self-hostable streaming platform, basically a libre alternative to Twitch, and also currently testing Fediverse support too! 
There's more info about it on its website at https://owncast.online
The project is looking for help running an OwnCast dedicated Fediverse account. (There is currently a bot at @owncast but this just provides automated posts about streamers.)
If you think you can help with this, or want to be involved with the project in any other way, get in touch with OwnCast here:
The project lead is on the Fediverse at @gabek

I usually haven't been impressed with congressional hearings on tech and so on, but I watched https://www.npr.org/2021/10/05/1043207218/whistleblower-to-congress-facebook-products-harm-children-and-weaken-democracy
I knew all the issues already, but I'm surprisingly emotional hearing legislators seem, to me, for the first time to be having an actually informed, coherent discussion pointing actually at the core problems

For a very brief period my Patreon has exceeded $400/mo. But I think the COVID-inflicted crysis has started to affect us all and many of my supporters dropped out. I think it's possible we'll cross $400/mo again soon and maybe this time for good? Let's see :)
BTW - There's also a growing Liberapay support that is almost $60/mo as well now!
I want to thank everyone who's supporting my work this way - it's really what make it possible for me to keep up the pace. I feel incredibly blessed!
With VST3 support coming to DPF, it is time for testing!
Can you help?
Build from https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF-Plugins/ (just "make" and copy the bin/*.vst3/ contents somewhere).
Alternatively use the pre-built binaries at the bottom of https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF-Plugins/actions/runs/1307408253 (there are builds for Linux, macOS and Windows)
Mainly interested on the VST3 plugin testing.
Let me know how these work for you, thanks!

That should have been obvious long time ago... but good to see it being recognized like this.

The Let's Encrypt root certificate expired on 30th Sept and this is causing problems for older devices.
The KXStudio September 2021 Monthly Report is here, a short but valid one.
It is all with DPF this time around, preparing for future things.

PS: DPF is almost 10 years old!
Opinions wanted!
Say you are looking to make some audio plugins and release them commercially.
Is this page clear enough in regards to licensing?

If yes or no, please describe why.
Thank you!

My new video is public! A lot of people were asking about the difference between Vital and Vitalium wavetable synthesizer plug-ins. In this video I explain the genesis, show
the differences and explain licensing and what is the open-source nature of the two projects. If you're into FOSS electronic music production and haven't checked these out yet - do so!

Doing some experiments with direct github.com/ocornut/imgui support in DPF.
One great thing from imgui is the absurd amount of existing widgets made for it.
So with a few lines of code I have a full blown text editor.
Integrates well into other things (ie, plugin GUIs)
Just need to sort out a few details regarding text/user input, and we are set for expanding the stuff DPF can do :D
