Documentation and code for a workshop on creating LV2 plug-ins by OSAMC (https://osamc.de)
- "My first LV2 plugin": SimpleGain
Step by step instructions to create the SimpleGian plugin, based on the DPF framework https://github.com/osamc-lv2-workshop/lv2-workshop/blob/master/my-first-lv2-plugin.rst
- Changing SimpleGain into SimpleSaw
https://github.com/osamc-lv2-workshop/lv2-workshop/blob/master/simplesaw-plugin.rst
- MIDI input for SimpleSaw to create SimpleSynth
(Step by step instructions may follow) https://github.com/osamc-lv2-workshop/simplesynth
- The DISTRHO Plugin Framework (DPF):
https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF
DPF allows to create plug-ins in different formats with custom UIs using a simple C++ API. We are using this framework in this workshop to create our plug-ins.
- A presentation by DPF's author falkTX:
- WDL / IPlug (Oli Larkin Edition):
https://github.com/olilarkin/wdl-ol
A framework very similar to DPF, but orientated more towards developing for Windows and OS X (i.e. supports AU plug-ins)
- A very good multi-part tutorial on developing plug-ins with WDL-OL:

- A blog with many articles on the different aspects of software synthesizers:
-
The WaveTable oscillator and ADSR envelope classes we are using in this workshop originate there.
- A good tutorial on the basics of programming in C++:
- A short introduction to what the LV2 standard tries to accomplish:
- A Developer tutorial on creating LV2 plug-ins by using its C interface directly:
- LV2 environment and paths:
- JKnobMan:
