Ildaeil

DISTRHO Ildaeil is mini-plugin host working as a plugin, allowing one-to-one plugin format re-usage.

The idea is to load it as a plugin inside your DAW and then the other "real" plugin inside Ildaeil.

This allows, for example, a VST3 host to load LV2 plugins and vice-versa.

The Ildaeil name comes from the korean 일대일, which means "one to one".

Details

Ildaeil basically works as a mini-wrapper around Carla, leveraging it for all its host support. Everything should be working except plugin parameters (none are exposed to the host):

• When open, Ildaeil will show a list of plugins to pick from or the plugin editor if one is already selected.
• If the plugin provides an embeddable UI, Ildaeil show will that by default, otherwise it shows a generic parameter list.
• Toggling between generic vs custom/embed view is possible.
• In the case of a plugin providing a custom UI that is not embeddable, Ildaeil will show the generic view by default.
• You can press "Show Custom GUI" to open the plugin UI in an external window.

The current formats Ildaeil can work as are:

• JACK/Standalone.
• CLAP.
• LV2.
• VST2.
• VST3.

And it can load the following plugin formats:

• Internal (from Carla).
• LADSPA.
• DSSI.
• LV2.
• VST2.
• VST3.
• CLAP.
• JSFX.

With a few extra formats through the "Load from file..." action:

• Audio files (through internal audio file player, synced to transport).
• MIDI files (through internal MIDI file player, synced to transport).
