Aloe VST Plugin Format Crate

Aloe VST Plugin Format is a Rust crate designed to facilitate the integration and management of VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins. This crate provides a comprehensive set of tools and interfaces to implement and manage VST plugin formats effectively, focusing on performance and ease of use.

Key Features

• VST Plugin Management: Provides traits and structures for managing VST plugin instances, including methods for interfacing with various VST-specific attributes.
• Cross-Platform Support: Includes configuration options for Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring broad usability and flexibility.
• Customization: Allows for the implementation of custom functionalities through additional traits and structures, fostering extension and adaptability.
• Performance Optimization: Employs efficient memory and resource management strategies to optimize plugin performance.

Technical Overview

The crate provides a base class VstPluginFormatExtraFunctions that includes fundamental functions that can be associated with a VST plugin instance. Core functionalities include retrieving tempo and automation state at a specified sample position.

The crate also introduces several utility structures to support VST operations, such as VSTPluginWindowCarbonWrapperComponent for macOS-specific operations, VSTParameter, and various XML information management structures.

Installation

Include the crate in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
aloe-vst-pluginformat = "0.1.0"

Usage

Implement the VstPluginFormat trait in your application to handle VST plugin formats. The crate provides default implementations for many essential operations, but users can override these to fit custom requirements.

use aloe_vst_pluginformat::{VstPluginFormatExtraFunctions, VstPluginInstance};

struct MyPlugin;

impl VstPluginFormatExtraFunctions for MyPlugin {
    fn get_tempo_at(&mut self, sample_pos: i64) -> i64 {
        // Custom logic to return tempo
        120
    }

    fn get_automation_state(&mut self) -> i32 {
        // Custom logic to return automation state
        1
    }
}
