Repository Details

DISTRHO Plugin Framework

DPF - DISTRHO Plugin Framework

makefile cmake example-plugins

DPF is designed to make development of new plugins an easy and enjoyable task.
It allows developers to create plugins with custom UIs using a simple C++ API.
The framework facilitates exporting various different plugin formats from the same code-base.

DPF can build for LADSPA, DSSI, LV2, VST2, VST3 and CLAP formats.
A JACK/Standalone mode is also available, allowing you to quickly test plugins.

Plugin DSP and UI communication is done via key-value string pairs.
You send messages from the UI to the DSP side, which is automatically saved in the host when required.
(You can also store state internally if needed, but this breaks DSSI compatibility).

Getting time information from the host is possible.
It uses the same format as the JACK Transport API, making porting some code easier.

Provided features and implementation status for specific plugin formats can be seen in FEATURES.md.

Licensing

DPF is released under ISC, which basically means you can do whatever you want as long as you credit the original authors.
Some plugin formats may have additional restrictions, see LICENSING.md for details.
