PLUM DEMO PROJECT

This project builds a plum demo host and a plum demo plugin for Linux. The plugin contains a synth and an effect.

The host has already the current folder in the shared library path.

The demo host has:

• A toolbar with three buttons: Library, Plug, Unplug.
• A catalog (left side) that shows the library content.
• A list of plugins (track, right side). There are slots for one synth and up to four effects.
• A view that shows the gui of the selected plugin or a controller if the plugin is headless.

Pressing "Library" lets you choose the library. Only one library at a time can be loaded. Once a library is loaded, the catalog is filled.

Select a plugin in the catalog, select a slot on the right list (track) and press "Plug" and the plugin will be created.

Select a plugin on the track, press "Unplug" and the plugin will be destroyed.

A combo box lets you choose the presets.

The buttons LP, SP, LB, SB, let you load and save banks and presets.
