protoplug 1.4.0

Very belated release with innumerable bugixes (thanks to the JUCE update), and finally proper support on macOS 64-bit (thanks to the LuaJIT update).

Brief install instructions:

Linux: Arch Linux users have an AUR package. Alternatively, the above "linux64" binaries were built on Ubuntu 16 but should work on other distros with libstdc++5. Extract ProtoplugFiles somewhere in your home folder, and place the .so plugins in your Linux VST folder, typically ~/.vst.

Windows: Extract the release zip to your VST folder (eg. C:\Program Files\Cubase\VSTPlugins). You can now load protoplug in your host.

Mac: Open the dmg, drag the plugins to your plugin folder (typically /Users/<username>/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/<plugin type>), and drag ProtoplugFiles somewhere into your documents.

protoplug 1.3.0

Two new features:

• An embedded interactive Lua prompt based on ilua. It has access to all the globals in the running Lua state.
• Live Mode. Check this in the menu to enable compile-as-you-type.

And some bugfixes!

Brief install instructions:

Linux: Grab a binary package from the Open Build Service, or build from source as per the readme. (Debian 7 Stable users read this.)

Windows: Extract the release zip to your VST folder (eg. C:\Program Files\Cubase\VSTPlugins). You can now load protoplug in your host.

Mac: Open the dmg, drag the plugins to your plugin folder (eg. /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/<plugin type>), and drag ProtoplugFiles somewhere into your documents.

protoplug 1.2.0

With better packaging for all platforms! You can now keep your ProtoplugFiles anywhere you want. Also some metric tonnes of bugfixes.

Brief install instructions:

Linux: Grab a binary package from the Open Build Service, or build from source as per the readme. (Debian 7 Stable users read this.)

Windows: Extract the release zip to your VST folder (eg. C:\Program Files\Cubase\VSTPlugins). You can now load protoplug in your host.

Mac: Open the dmg, drag the plugins to your plugin folder (eg. /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/<plugin type>), and drag ProtoplugFiles somewhere into your documents.

v1.1.0

Create audio plugins on-the-fly with LuaJIT.

New feature: the Lua API allows easy reading of sound files.

This VST/AU release comes with some basic scripts including spectral tools and various demonstrations and experiments.

Windows: Extract the release zip to your VST folder (eg. C:\Program Files\Cubase\VSTPlugins). You can now load protoplug in your host.

Linux: These were compiled on Debian 7 but should work on most distros. There is no standard install location for native Linux VSTs, but you can copy the whole thing to /usr/lib/vst for example.

Mac: The precompiled version requires OS X 10.6 minimum. The plugin is 32-bit, but any advanced 64-bit host should still load the plugin in bridged mode. Otherwise, try launching the host in 32-bit mode.
