<span style="font-size: 20px">> Ildaeil v1.0 released</span><br/> |

Hello everyone, another release is here, this time it is |
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil" target="_blank">Ildaeil</a>.<br/> |
|
|
|
Something that was initially done as a test for |
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/falkTX/Carla" target="_blank">Carla</a> |
|
|
|
and |
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/ocornut/imgui" target="_blank">ImGui</a> |
|
|
|
usage within |
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF" target="_blank">DPF</a>, |
|
|
|
but turns out to be actually quite useful!<br/> |
|
|
|
To those that are not up to date on KXStudio developments, let's recap this little new project...<br/> |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|

|
<a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil" target="_blank"><b>Ildaeil</b></a> |
|
|
|
is mini-plugin host working as a plugin allowing one-to-one plugin format reusage.<br/> |
|
|
|
The idea is to load it as a plugin inside your DAW and then other the "real" plugin inside Ildaeil.<br/> |
|
|
|
This allows, for example, a VST3 host to load LV2 plugins. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
For the more technically-minded people, this is basically a combination of |
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/falkTX/Carla" target="_blank">Carla</a>, |
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF" target="_blank">DPF</a> |
|
|
|
and |
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF-Widgets" target="_blank">DPF-Widgets</a>.<br/> |
|
|
|
There is some small code of its own for handling the drawing of the plugin list, generic GUI and offset the embed GUIs, |
|
|
|
but everything else is done by these other projects.<br/> |
|
|
|
Nothing that Ildaeil does is special, that Carla can't do, but using Carla means always having to deal with an extra window.<br/> |
|
|
|
When wanting to load a single LV2 plugin on a non-LV2 supported host for example, this becomes quite cumbersome.<br/> |
|
|
|
With a little bit of glue code to tie up Carla, DPF and a little GUI, this project becomes possible. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|

|
|
|
<h3>Example</h3> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Here is an example, loading the LV2-specific plugin |
|
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/Dougal-s/Aether" target="_blank">Aether</a> |
|
|
|
inside |
|
|
|
<a href="https://www.renoise.com/" target="_blank">Renoise</a>, which does not support LV2 plugins. |

<h3>Details</h3> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
The Ildaeil name comes from the korean 일대일, which means "one to one".<br/> |
|
|
|
It is one plugin exposed to the host (Ildaeil itself) and one plugin loaded inside Ildaeil. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
When open, Ildaeil will show a list of plugins to pick from or the plugin editor if one is already selected.<br/> |
|
|
|
If the plugin provides an embedable UI, Ildaeil show will that by default, otherwise it shows a generic parameter list.<br/> |
|
|
|
Toggling between generic vs custom/embed view is possible.<br/> |
|
|
|
In the case of a plugin providing a custom UI that is not embedable, Ildaeil will show the generic view by default.<br/> |
|
|
|
You can press "Show Custom GUI" to open the plugin UI in an external window.<br/> |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
For version 1.0, this is what we have: |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li>Available as JACK/Standalone, LV2, VST2 and VST3 (with VST3 being experimental)</li> |
|
|
|
<li>Can load internal (from Carla) and LV2 plugins</li> |
|
|
|
<li>Comes in Synth, FX and MIDI variants</li> |
|
|
|
<li>LV2 plugins can run in-process or bridged</li> |
|
|
|
<li>Works on macOS, Windows and Linux/X11 systems</li> |
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
And these are the current limitations: |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li>Plugin parameters are not exposed to the host</li> |
|
|
|
<li>UI is not resizable by the host</li> |
|
|
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Later on, in theory, it should be able to load the other plugin formats supported by Carla |
|
|
|
(that being LADSPA, DSSI, VST2, VST3 and AU).<br/> |
|
|
|
There are some technical limitations that prevent this from happening right now, |
|
|
|
Carla will need some backend changes before this can happen. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Note that exposing the parameters to the host is not in the immediate plans. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
