iPlug2/Examples at master · iPlug2/iPlug2

These examples all serve as templates, which can be duplicated to form the start of your project.

There are three examples you should check out first:

  • IPlugEffect : A basic audio effect which is a volume control.
  • IPlugInstrument : An MPE-capable polyphonic synthesiser.
  • IPlugControls : A demonstration of the widgets available in the IControls library.

The following examples are more specialized:

  • IPlugChunks : Shows how to store data other than just parameter values in the plug-in state and how to get tempo info from the host.

  • IPlugMidiEffect : A basic MIDI effect plugin. Note: only AudioUnits really have a notion of a midi effect.

  • IPlugSideChain : Demonstrates how to do a plug-in with two input buses for effects that require sidechain inputs such as compressors/gates.

  • IPlugSurroundEffect : A multichannel volume control effect plug-in that should work on different surround buses.

  • IPlugDrumSynth : A drum synthesiser example with multiple output buses.

  • IPlugResponsiveUI : An example of how to make a responsive UI that adapts to the platform window that can be maximized and resized using the OS window chrome.

  • IPlugOSCEditor : Demonstrates how to use the Open Sound Control classes in iPlug2, as well as the IWebViewControl

  • IPlugReaperExtension : This is a template project for making a Reaper Extension. No realtime audio processing code, obviously. Making a reaper extension can be painful since it is all based around the Win32 APIs. This abstracts away some of the nastyness.

  • IPlugReaperPlugin : This is a plugin that calls Reaper Reascript API functions. Supports VST2, VST3 and CLAP formats. Also allows embedded UIs.

  • IPlugConvoEngine : UI-less example of WDL_ConvoEngine that reports a delay to the host for plugin-delay-compensation (PDC)

  • IPlugVisualizer : Demonstrates visualizing audio signals.

  • IPlugCocoaUI : An iOS/macOS project using AppKit/UIKit for the user interface

  • IPlugSwiftUI : An iOS/macOS only project using SwiftUI for the user interface

  • IPlugWebUI : An example showing how UI can written in HTML/CSS/JS, using a platform web view

  • IPlugP5js : Another platform web view project this time using p5js to render using WebGL

  • IPlugSvelteUI : An example showing how to use Svelte to build the UI.
