PluginCollider

PluginCollider is a generic (multiplatform/plugin format) wrapper that allows using a SuperCollider server inside a VST3 or AU plugin. The embedded server may be controlled over OSC as usual.

PluginCollider is an experimental fork of https://github.com/supercollider/SuperColliderAU

Current PluginCollider status before it becomes a GA project:

• Remove CoreAudio (AU) dependencies (e.g. Linux and Windows support)
• Multichannel support
• Remove World global lock
• Configurable UDP port
• Server log from plugin UI

JUCE framework is used as a generic wrapper.

• It provides a unified build system among plateforms and plugins configuration
• It provides a "Standalone" plugin version that greatly simplify development and debugging
• Simplifies plugin format evolutions and maintenance

In order to build PluginCollider, you first need to build SuperCollider, which is included in this repository as a submodule. For this to work you must first clone the PluginCollider with the recursive flag:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/asb2m10/plugincollider

After this, cd to the libs/supercollider directory and build as explained in the Build Instructions section in README_MACOS.md. This is needed for generating SC_Version.hpp and also for compiling plugins. It is important to note that the build process for PluginCollider assumes that the name of the supercollider build folder build.

cmake .. -DSC_EL=no -DSC_QT=OFF

After compiling SuperCollider, cd back to the PluginCollider root directory and run:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..       # add `-G Xcode` if you want to use Xcode
make

In order to test the plugin, with sclang execute this code:

o = ServerOptions.new;
s = Server.remote(\pluginCollider, NetAddr("127.0.0.1", <listening plugin port>), o);
{ [SinOsc.ar(439, 0, 0.2), SinOsc.ar(444, 0, 0.2)] }.play(s);
