Talk at London Music Hackspace 5th July

I'm doing a talk at the London Music Hackspace next thursday. Here's the blurb:

Ever wanted to make your own VST or Audiounit plug-ins? iPlug makes it really easy to get started. With just a basic knowledge of C/C++ programming you can make a plug-in using iPlug.

Oli Larkin is an audio software developer and maker of Endless Series – a unique plug-in based on the Shepard Tone auditory illusion. He is also developing iPlug which is an open source project originally by Cockos (the company that makes Reaper). Oli will introduce his work and show how he develops plug-ins using iPlug. Come to the event on July 5th, 7pm, at the Music Hackspace.

M4_u Convention IPlug Workshop slides & examples

Yesterday I led a workshop on IPlug at the M4_u European Max convention. In the workshop I talked about the main options available for developing plugins using C++ and the issues involved. Then I introduced IPlug with some simple projects. I had to skip a load of stuff in the slides, because there wasn't enough time.

Here are the slides and example projects which demonstrate the basics of adding parameters, processing audio, handling parameter changes and handling MIDI. There are also two projects demonstrating the integration of Open Source, 3rd party DSP libraries, Maximillian and Gamma.

WDL-OL - enhanced IPlug Framework

IPlug is a simple-to-use C++ framework for developing cross platform audio plugins and targeting multiple plugin APIs. Originally developed by Schwa/Cockos, IPlug has been enhanced by various contributors. I have just published my version which now targets VST2, VST3, AudioUnit and RTAS APIs. It can also produce standalone Windows/OSX audio/midi apps and apps for Apple's IOS devices, all from the same code.

IPlug has a permissive licence and and comprehensive GUI functionality via Cockos' LICE (lightweight image compositing engine).
