BespokeSynth is also built on JUCE. BespokeSynth supports VST3, AudioUnit, LV2,: https://github.com/BespokeSynth/BespokeSynth/issues/1614 One day, I found a number of open source patch bay implementations. They may be useful for building a GUI with pedalboard: - https://github.com/Houston4444/HoustonPatchbay : > [HoustonPatchBay is] a patchbay for JACK used by RaySession and Patchance, usable by other python Qt5 softwares. - RaySession: https://github.com/Houston4444/RaySession is a patchbay for JACK - Patchance: https://github.com/Houston4444/Patchance is JACK patchbay gui w/ ALSA MIDI support > It is a direct alternative to Catia or Patchage - org.pipewire.helvum: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/helvum https://flathub.org/apps/org.pipewire.Helvum : > Helvum is a GTK-based patchbay for pipewire, inspired by the JACK tool catia. -

easyeffects: https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects ; pipewire + GStreamer -> just pipewire

NSM is a decent session management API. Currently recommended for any kind of session management in PipeWire. Unfortunate that JML imploded like this, his work is legendary and software elegant. All smear campaigns aside it's really crap to see this continuing hostility. Free Software also means moving on after a conflict and learning from past mistakes, and fork when necessary. Not to throw a tantrum and destroy all your work. Btw most NSM stuff works pretty good under PipeWire. RaySession is a nice tool for that: https://github.com/Houston4444/RaySession
