So Bitwig is developing a new Open Plugin Format called CLAP together with U-HE and others.

Promising looking... I am especially interested in its ability to do polyphonic modulation/automation. It means the per voice modulation that currently only works with Bitwig instruments will work with u-he plugins too (CLAP version)

Good to have a thread for it in this forum too... :)

I suspect that CLAP might open the world of the grid up to third party DSP, and Bitwig might approach something akin to VCV but in a different, non-Eurorack way (which I do find a bit stifling at times).

I had a similar thought whilst reading the thread over on the U-He forum. Up until now I've been very keen for Bitwig to open up a proprietary internal scripting environment/module designer, but maybe I've been thinking too small!

I wonder whether it'd be possible for Bitwig to provide the GUI elements and allow us to write our own DSP without having to worry about the UI? I think that's one of the biggest obstacles for new developers, and definitely lets VCV Rack down at times.

Does anybody know when Bitwig will support a first version of CLAP?

I recently installed a plugin which offered CLAP as one of the formats. I cannot remember which one. I thought it might have been u-he's own new MFM2 package but it seems it wasn't that. Does anyone have any idea which plugin it might have been?

My mistake, it was the new MFM2.5 from u-he.

well Google search results are personalized, based on previous search behavior ;)
the first hit i get is; https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/clap
to strike (two things, such as two flat, hard surfaces) together so as to produce a sharp percussive noise

But maybe they just wanted their new format to spread like the clap and give vst that burning sensation :pray:
