34 Get the absolute filename of the plugin DSP/UI binary.@n
35 Under certain systems or plugin formats the binary will be inside the plugin bundle.@n
36 Also, in some formats or setups, the DSP and UI binaries are in different files.
38 const char* getBinaryFilename();
41 Get a string representation of the current plugin format we are building against.@n
42 This can be "JACK/Standalone", "LADSPA", "DSSI", "LV2", "VST2" or "VST3".@n
43 This string is purely informational and must not be used to tweak plugin behaviour.
45 @note DO NOT CHANGE PLUGIN BEHAVIOUR BASED ON PLUGIN FORMAT.
47 const char* getPluginFormatName() noexcept
;
50 Get the path to where resources are stored within the plugin bundle.@n
51 Requires a valid plugin bundle path.
53 Returns a path inside the bundle where the plugin is meant to store its resources in.@n
54 This path varies between systems and plugin formats, like so:
56 - LV2: <bundle>/resources (can be stored anywhere inside the bundle really, DPF just uses this one)
57 - VST2 macOS: <bundle>/Contents/Resources
58 - VST2 non-macOS: <bundle>/resources (see note)
60 The other non-mentioned formats do not support bundles.@n
62 @note For VST2 on non-macOS systems, this assumes you have your plugin inside a dedicated directory
63 rather than only shipping with the binary (e.g. <myplugin.vst>/myplugin.dll)

80 Handy class to help keep audio buffer in sync with incoming MIDI events.
81 To use it, create a local variable (on the stack) and call nextEvent() until it returns false.
83 for (AudioMidiSyncHelper amsh(outputs, frames, midiEvents, midiEventCount); amsh.nextEvent();)
85 float* const outL = amsh.outputs[0];
86 float* const outR = amsh.outputs[1];
88 for (uint32_t i=0; i<amsh.midiEventCount; ++i)
90 const MidiEvent& ev(amsh.midiEvents[i]);
91 // ... do something with the midi event
94 renderSynth(outL, outR, amsh.frames);
98 Some important notes when using this class:
99 1. MidiEvent::frame retains its original value, but it is useless, do not use it.
100 2. The class variable names are the same as the default ones in the run function.
101 Keep that in mind and try to avoid typos. :)
