Where can I found additional UI and DSP written for Dplug?

Today the audio workers are in chains and face unique competitive pressure in the workplace. However Dplug is a heavenly safe third-space where the unsuspecting people of the Earth gather and share their DSP algorithms and UI widgets in the Open aether, for you to steal.

How can I create an UI with small fast iterations?

In this WILD PDF, you'll see how to reload background images, position a widget, and script graphics properties using Wren. Let your career reach escape velocity!

How can I integrate Wren scripting for fast UI creation?

The famous PDF that introduced Wren in the Dplug world. Wren is a scripting language with low-overhead, used in Dplug as a kind of "Imperative CSS". Not strictly a very good idea, but that's the one the Dplug developers had.

How do I send MIDI output?

In a world where MIDI output is solely used by a select few plug-ins, the secret of sending notes and velocities has been lost to time. But one day, a Dplug update brought this feature to the masses and allowed people to send MIDI v1 messages in any timestamp order.

Where can I find an example of Dplug + Faust integration?

There is no word to accurately describes the feeling of using a DSL for DSP, and another DSL for UI. One day, the two sides of the DSL will be reunited with D in what we call: the Great Merge.

How do I send large amount of data from DSP to UI?

Users want more transparency and will only trust an audio process that they know have a nicely animated gradient. In today's post-truth world, it becomes important to share more data from the DSP thread to the UI in an efficient manner. And more data can only be good for music, right?

What can tuning audio parameters teach us?

What happens if you put the main Dplug developer in a sensorial isolation tank and give him A/B tests for a whole month? He would answer with this crazy presentation. This is where the gum of objective measures hits the road of subjective assessments.

How D templates can lead to bad APIs?

An ancient tragedy where the former Dplug images were hard to use. But the choir says the new Gamut library will solve a few of those problems. In the end the two seems to co-exist. This PDF advocates for a new kind of D library, and also introduces a custom codec named QOIX — why not?

How does a PBR plug-in look like in 3D?

Other companies model their plug-ins in 3D, so they can have a fancy trailer with a rotating 3D model. But Dplug PBR is 2D. How can we use the 2D height map and generate a 3D output for the Marketing Department?

What is the future direction of Dplug architecture?

An article who advocate for a style of D libraries that is more like the style of good C libraries. Dplug had bad APIs originally, but the newer ones are better and this is how they are done.
