max-gen-plugins

Collection of MAX gen~ based audio plugins used in MOD Audio.
Stored in a single source code repository to make it easy for contributors and MOD staff to add and maintain these plugins.

This source code repository has the following contents:

  • dpf - the plugin framework used to get CLAP, LV2, VST2, VST3 formats from a single implementation;
    for MOD we only care about the LV2 format for now
  • max-gen - custom code that integrates the gen~ exported code in DPF
  • plugins - gen~ exported plugins, each including the exported code plus a custom DistrhoPluginInfo.h for plugin meta-data and a README supplied by the author
  • presets - optional, LV2 presets to be included on the MOD plugin store builds of each plugin

BUILDING

For building you will need a POSIX-compliant compiler (GCC or Clang) plus GNU Make.
Building is a simple as running make after cloning this repository, assuming you have the needed tools installed.

Note that this repository uses git submodules, so cloning with git clone --recursive is required.

After building you will find CLAP, LV2, VST2 and VST3 plugin builds in a newly created ./bin directory.
Alternatively you can download nightly builds from the generated GitHub actions.

BUILDING FOR MOD

If you already have "bootstrapped" mod-plugin-builder before, building for e.g. MOD Dwarf is as simple as:

make moddwarf

Change moddwarf to modduo or modduox if applicable.

After building, you can directly push the bundle into a MOD unit over USB by running:

make modpush
