This Plugin trait contains all the info we need to comply with the VST standard in a struct aptly named Info. Basically, we're implementing the Plugin trait for our Whisper struct. If you don't really know what's going on right now, don't worry.

Next, lets add some basic boilerplate code to get our minimal VST up and running. Let's call our VST 'whisper', because of the whooshing noises.Īfter that, we need to add our vst dependency, as well as specify that our crate type is 'cdylib'.

Set up a new project the same way you would for any other crate. In layman's terms, we're going to create a thing that makes whooooooshhhh noises, and that thing can only make one noise at a time. We'll be creating a monophonic white-noise generator. I hope you think the info I provide is valuable. However, I hope I'm qualified enough to make a 'getting started' tutorial. Some of the stuff I do might not be best practice or the most efficient. It sounds counterintuitive, but just roll with it. TL DR, you'll want to use the vst crate, and not the vst2 crate. Vst is a fork of the original vst2 source, with a community of developers and maintainers keeping the project active. Unfortunately, this repository has been stagnant for quite some time due to having only one contributor. In Joe's aforementioned example, they use overdrivenpotato's vst2 crate. Their post and this post are similar, and I'll address that below. You may have also stumbled on Joe Clay's excellent post, Writing an Audio Plugin in Rust. It also doesn't have proper UI support yet. If you're thinking 'Oh boy! Finally, I can ditch C++ for Rust!' - I like your enthusiasm, but the vst crate isn't quite there yet! It's not much of a framework, and instead just lets you interact with MIDI notes and an audio buffer. You also probably know of other solutions like JUCE, DPlug, or wdl-ol. If you're here from a Google search, chances are you already know this. VSTs (Virtual Studio Technology) are audio plugins used in a variety of applications. Vst is a crate that implements the VST 2.4 specification by Steinberg. At the top of its impressive feature list are 60-star players, 16 1st violins, 14 2nd violins, 12 violas, ten cellos, and eight super deep-sampled basses. Taking over from the mammoth four-part Mural series, Symphonic Strings harmonizes the separate volumes into one comprehensive library. Or read the notes that I slaved away at writing. If you know what you're looking for (e.g., if you came here from a Google search) and you're antsy to get into code, just go ahead and skip to the bits where we start coding. Welcome to 2018! A lot happened this past year - the most important of which being the 0.0.1 release of vst on Crates.io.
