+ > Ildaeil v1.0 released
+ On 2022-02-21 by falkTX
+
+ Hello everyone, another release is here, this time it is
+ Ildaeil.
+ Something that was initially done as a test for
+ Carla
+ and
+ ImGui
+ usage within
+ DPF,
+ but turns out to be actually quite useful!
+ To those that are not up to date on KXStudio developments, let's recap this little new project...
+
+
+
+ Ildaeil
+ is mini-plugin host working as a plugin allowing one-to-one plugin format reusage.
+ The idea is to load it as a plugin inside your DAW and then other the "real" plugin inside Ildaeil.
+ This allows, for example, a VST3 host to load LV2 plugins.
+
+ For the more technically-minded people, this is basically a combination of
+ Carla,
+ DPF
+ and
+ DPF-Widgets.
+ 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.
+ Nothing that Ildaeil does is special, that Carla can't do, but using Carla means always having to deal with an extra window.
+ When wanting to load a single LV2 plugin on a non-LV2 supported host for example, this becomes quite cumbersome.
+ With a little bit of glue code to tie up Carla, DPF and a little GUI, this project becomes possible.
+
+ Here is an example, loading the LV2-specific plugin + Aether + inside + Renoise, which does not support LV2 plugins. +
+
+ 
+
+ You can see more of these screenshots + here. +
+ +
+ The Ildaeil name comes from the korean 일대일, which means "one to one".
+ It is one plugin exposed to the host (Ildaeil itself) and one plugin loaded inside Ildaeil.
+
+ When open, Ildaeil will show a list of plugins to pick from or the plugin editor if one is already selected.
+ If the plugin provides an embedable UI, Ildaeil show will that by default, otherwise it shows a generic parameter list.
+ Toggling between generic vs custom/embed view is possible.
+ In the case of a plugin providing a custom UI that is not embedable, Ildaeil will show the generic view by default.
+ You can press "Show Custom GUI" to open the plugin UI in an external window.
+
+ For version 1.0, this is what we have: +
++ And these are the current limitations: +
+
+ 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).
+ There are some technical limitations that prevent this from happening right now,
+ Carla will need some backend changes before this can happen.
+
+ Note that exposing the parameters to the host is not in the immediate plans. +
+ +
+ There are pre-compiled binaries for Linux, macOS and Windows which can downloaded at
+
+ https://github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil/releases/tag/v1.0.
+ You can also find it in the KXStudio repositories as ildaeil package.
+
+ Have fun! +
