Crescendo is a programmable VST plugin that allows the user to write custom VST instruments, Audio effects, MIDI effects or MIDI sequencers, with a complete programming language.

It supports:

• Almost unlimited oscillators, LFOs, envelopes, filters, distortions and other effects per layer.
• Sampled and Synth oscillators, completely automatable with custom formulas (e.g. AM/FM modulation).
• Each automatable parameter can be automated with an unlimited complex formula, that in turn can have automated parameters that can be automated with a complex formula, and so on.
• Uncompressed WAV, AIFF and AIFF-C (integer, floating point, big and little endian) files direct support.
• Conversion with FFMPEG and caching of unsupported files, if available.
• Temperaments, microtuning, SCALA, TUN and KBM files support.
• Soundfont 2.04 file import (tested with this ~4GB 24-bit file: https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/2525).
• Drag & drop support for audio, SCALA, TUN, instrument and SoundFont files.

• Multiple inputs and outputs.

• Multi instrument files.

• UI personalization.
