Aloe Standalone

Aloe Standalone is a Rust crate designed to facilitate the implementation of standalone instances of audio plugins. By leveraging AudioDeviceManager, AudioProcessorPlayer, and other essential elements, it offers powerful audio processing capabilities without embedding within a host application.

Features

• Standalone Audio Processing: Create and run audio plugins in a standalone fashion using the createPluginFilter() function.
• Comprehensive MIDI and Audio Management: Utilize AudioDeviceManager for handling audio and MIDI devices with efficiency.
• State Management: Save and restore the state of your audio processor seamlessly through user dialogs.
• Platform Independent: Supports Android, iOS, and desktop platforms with conditional configuration for MIDI device management.
• Buffer Size Handling: Ensures predictable buffer sizes for audio callbacks to prevent out-of-bounds issues across platforms.

Core Concepts

• StandalonePluginHolder: Central object facilitating audio processing. Manages processor creation, device handling, plugin lifecycle, and user settings.
• StandaloneFilterWindow: Provides a windowing wrapper to host and manage the plugin interface, featuring options for user interactions.
• CallbackMaxSizeEnforcer: Addresses platform-specific buffer size discrepancies, ensuring stable audio and MIDI I/O operations.

Quick Start

use aloe_standalone::StandalonePluginHolder;

fn main() {
    // Initialize and configure standalone audio processor instance
    let settings_to_use = std::ptr::null_mut();
    let preferred_setup_options = std::ptr::null();
    let holder = StandalonePluginHolder::new(
        settings_to_use,
        Some(true),
        Some("default"),
        preferred_setup_options,
        None,
        Some(true),
    );
    
    // Additional logic to utilize plugin holder
}
