iPlug2: Desktop Plug-in Framework Meets Web Audio Modules

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

iPlug 2 compiles the same C++ code into desktop plug-ins (AUv3, VST3, iOS) and Web Audio Modules using WebAssembly, producing a working web version of a commercial synth at virtualcz.io. build scripts create separate WASM DSP and GUI bundles, the GUI uses NanoVG or HTML5 canvas for vector graphics to hit 60 fps on high‑DPI displays. supports remote editors via WebSockets. current limits: a typical WAM is ~9 MB, debugging Emscripten builds and GC/SharedArrayBuffer timing can cause audio glitches.
