Add hot-reload capabilities to any Rust CLAP plugin!
This is a small library that wraps a traditional CLAP entry structure. When loaded by a host, it spawns a file watcher thread, and reloads all the contained plugins whenever the CLAP bundle changes.
The reloading happens on the fly, reloading the plugin's GUI and parameters (among other things) and switching audio processors without interruption, even while the DAW is processing audio or the transport is running.
This library is based on Clack for CLAP host and plugin integration.
This project is in its very early stage, quite unfinished and probably not that robust, although it works great on my computer™.
- Finish implementing support for all CLAP extensions
- Add hot-reload capabilities to e.g. audio ports, note ports, etc.
- Harden the file watcher against e.g. symlink loops and other fun stuff that can happen on filesystems
- Write documentation and publish on crates.io
- Expose a C API, so it can be used by non-Rust projects
