It is a de facto standard that allows to develop audio effects such as a delay and virtual instruments like pianos or guitars in form of pure software. <\/p>\n<p>Opaz PlugDK is an experiment that allows to develop VST Plug-ins using the Ruby language (via JRuby). It comes with very nice features bringing the &#8220;scripting&#8221; approach to VST development. The plugin reloads instantly when a file is changed, e.g. code changes are audible immediately. Absolutely no compile-package-test cycles are necessary! <\/p>\n<p>It also comes with an IRB console that allows you to attach to a running Ruby plug-in, e.g. to script the plugin live, while it is running (very much like using Ruby as a macro language for the plug-in). Moreover, it wraps the VST API in a very nice DSL, making the code much cleaner and understandable. For increased performance, it is very easy to mix-and-match Java and Ruby code. It also comes with Rake tasks that bundle your plugin for windows, mac and linux righ-away. <\/p>\n<p>BTW: Sorry for the stuttering audio track. The screen-recording software ate most of the cpu cycles on the machine I was using to record.<\/p>\n<p>Further info: <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.logeek.fr\/2009\/11\/17\/how-to-prototype-vst-audio-plugins-with-jruby-and-java\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/blog.logeek.fr\/2009\/11\/17\/how-to-prototype-vst-audio-plugins-with-jruby-and-java<\/a><br \/>\nProject website: <a href=\"http:\/\/github.com\/thbar\/opaz-plugdk\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/github.com\/thbar\/opaz-plugdk<\/a><br \/>\njVSTwRapper website: <a href=\"http:\/\/jvstwrapper.sourceforge.net\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/jvstwrapper.sourceforge.net<\/a><br \/>\nJRuby website: <a href=\"http:\/\/jruby.org\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/jruby.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The music loop I used is called &#8220;loop022&#8221; from freesound.org user bebeto: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freesound.org\/samplesViewSingle.php?id=24039\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.freesound.org\/samplesViewSingle.php?id=24039<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Steinberg VST API is supported by virtually all professional audio applications on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX.
