Chibi is a mini-host audio plugin loader, meant to load one plugin at a time as if it was a standalone application.
These are the goals for the project:
- Provide a quick way to start audio plugins
- Integrate with relevant Session Managers
- Allow to be reused for other projects, so plugins can literally become standalones
- Provide the most useful tools from host-side without any extra plugin work
- Leverage and test Carla as much as possible (avoiding duplicate work and having head-start on features)
Chibi is basically Carla's little sister. It runs Carla's backend behind the scenes and shares quite a few visual traits. Building on top of what Carla has already achieved, it adds only the missing pieces for a "mini-host" setup.
