Elementary Audio

@uronsama @audioprogrammer You can! It's not perfect, and still requires some C++ glue, but you can definitely do most of the work in JavaScript. Here's an example: github.com/elemaudio/srvb

@audioprogrammer elementary, can you make a vst using javascript??

What is the future of music software development? Recently, someone asked us why we don't do more audio programming tutorials of alternative approaches outside of the JUCE Framework... The thing is, he's right! There's room for a wider array of tutorials and discussion. One of the reasons JUCE has been a core focus is that it has one of the easiest "onboarding" experiences for developers - especially for those just getting started. Another is that it has a very good "out of the box" cross-platform workflow that's easy to teach. It's a very large, fully fledged solution that has abstractions for most conventional use cases. JUCE also solves some of the toughest challenges that still don't have direct open source alternatives. With that being said, I believe that as an industry we are moving towards a wider array of tools for audio software development, and that trend is heading towards more solutions. Here are a few that come to mind and discussions on each: 🖥 Cmajor - It's VERY easy to get into, has a lot of workflow advantages, and will export straight to a CLAP plug-in / raw C++ / JUCE project. It also solves many of the platform specific challenges that you get with C++, especially multi-threading. Uses JS / HTML / CSS for user interfaces - a more modern and faster solution (though there are still challenges to solve around this). 🖥 CLAP w/ various open source tools - the CLAP open source plug-in format and its VST / AU wrappers has (almost!) open sourced what has been one of JUCE's biggest "walled gardens" - cross-platform packaging to various plug-in APIs with the click of a button. 🖥 Elementary - Uses JavaScript and is awesome! 🖥 iPlug2 - A great solution but a little rough around the edges for beginners. I think it will win more appeal once they officially support CMake as a build system. 🖥 RNBO w/ Max MSP - A similar approach to Cmajor, but within the Max MSP ecosystem. I'd love to hear your thoughts on where we are going as an industry!

@audioprogrammer Let's! I'll ping you on discord

@elemaudio Yes! We need to catch up soon 🙂

❤️

Check out my free and open-source interactive platform to learn, explore and express music with chromatone.center 🌈 . @youyuxi inspired and built with #vitepress @vuejs @vite_js @VueUse! @webmidijs works across platforms, @elemaudio rocks! ✊ . #audiovisual #musictheory

So excited to pin @LunacyAudio's BEAM to the Elementary Audio project showcase: elementary.audio/showcase. Congrats to the brilliant team behind this one, it's a huge effort and an awesome product!

Big update from @teetow on his Elementary Grid project in the community this week: teetow.com/elementary_gri…. Hit play, then click the Grid logo for a small peek under the hood!

Just shipped v3.1.0 with a new soft-knee compressor and a new node for scheduling sample playback. Check it out! github.com/elemaudio/elem…

New tutorial up on the website showing how to integrate Elementary with Web MIDI: elementary.audio/docs/tutorials…. Huge thanks to Brian from the Elementary Community for contributing this one! Check out Brian's other work here: github.com/bgins

Using JavaScript to build audio plugins means we can tap into things like @vite_js's hot reloading inside the DAW, both for the UI and the DSP. All with one `npm run dev` Check it out: github.com/elemaudio/srvb

@reactjs @tailwindcss @vite_js Also, the reverb algorithm in here is based on @SignalsmithDSP's fantastic "Let's Write a Reverb": signalsmith-audio.co.uk/writing/2021/l…. One of my all-time favorite resources on reverb design

Reintroducing SRVB: a free, open source reverb plugin built with JavaScript. It has @reactjs @tailwindcss and @vite_js for the UI, and Elementary for the DSP. Blog post to follow, for now check out our GitHub (binaries available on the Releases page)– github.com/elemaudio/srvb

@wrl @reactjs @tailwindcss @vite_js Oh yea? Do share!

@elemaudio @reactjs @tailwindcss @vite_js lot of missed opportunities to reduce the amount of plumbing that client code has to deal with

@algundiasanti 🙏❤️

@elemaudio you guys are doing something incredible

@wrl @reactjs @tailwindcss @vite_js Yep, that's the idea

@elemaudio @reactjs @tailwindcss @vite_js so is the plan to always have the JUCE audio processor load the manifest.json at runtime and create parameters therefrom or

@nthnblair Can't wait for your release!

Very cool to see (and work with) elementary as it progresses so fast

@PaulDavisThe1st @teropa @reactjs @tailwindcss @vite_js Linux support is already nearly there! It's definitely possible I'm missing something, and @wrl might be right about gnarly dependencies, but if you want to take a look, I'd happily take a PR github.com/elemaudio/srvb…
