OBS and audio plugins, it's really coming!
Just opened an initial pull request for review https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/8919 🎉

Perks of using Ubuntu and snaps: everytime you boot up your system and open a web browser, get a notification asking you to close it again 🤦‍♂️

Doing the automatic-audio-plugin-scanner code in Carla now, as needed for the "plugins in OBS" project.

It nicely trickles down to other projects that also use Carla for their plugin hosting.
Screenshot shows https://github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil happily listing and hosting VST2 plugins ☀️

So next Ildaeil release will have even more format-to-format capabilities!
VSTs in LV2 hosts? no problem!
CLAPs in VST hosts? sure thing!
throw VST3 too while at it, why not.

Apparently I am in the top 10 "most active GitHub users in Portugal"

...is this good or bad? maybe a sign I should go out more 😅

Leo Gibson does an introduction and review of the MOD + AIDA-X plugin, nice to see some recognition!

Anyone going to superbooth in Berlin next week?

I should be there on 12th (Friday) for https://www.superbooth.com/en/messe-and-exhibitors/exhibitors/mod-audio.html

and it should work on Chrome now too!

on the topic of running things on the browser, who wants some LV2 plugins?
let's say in between some of them ZynAddSubFX? 😱

No UI for now, just the engine and a selection of presets, playable through WebMIDI.
Some throw an exception when loaded, but most seem to work
Also I need to handle MIDI timing properly...

That said:
1. Load https://ildaeil.kx.studio/ in Firefox (Chrome not supported)
2. Select ZynAddSubFX, press "Load Plugin"
3. Press "Enable MIDI"
4. Select a preset and play

Enjoy? 😅

Cardinal on the web randomly got some attention via
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35794758

So I wonder how many people out there still do not know this is a thing...
The full Cardinal (basically a more free version of VCV Rack, with all modules built-in) running directly on a web browser at https://cardinal.kx.studio/

I recently updated it so that on browsers that dont support wasm-simd (webkit-based ones like Safari) will load a slower but still compatible variant.
So in theory it works under iOS, didnt test.

Coming soon, Carla ❤️ OBS

Something that has been brewing in the last few weeks...

https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=introducing-aida-x

This is a (bass/guitar-focused) Amp Model Player audio plugin, basically it loads AI trained models to realistically simulate an audio effect (amp, cab, dist, drive, fuzz, boost and eq).
Available as AU/CLAP/LV2/VST2/VST3 and Standalone.

Done in partnership with AIDA-DSP and MOD Audio.

Enjoy!

I realize I should have said more details about it, let me reedit and repost, sorry!
