DirektDSP Plugin Configurator

A terminal UI application for creating and configuring audio plugin projects from the PluginTemplate repository.

Overview

The configurator speeds up project setup. It clones the template, writes a project.toml config, selectively initializes submodules, and scaffolds per-plugin directories for multi-plugin projects.

Features

• Config-driven generation: project.toml + options.cmake
• Plugin formats: VST3, AU, AUv3, CLAP, Standalone
• Module system: Moonbase licensing, Melatonin Inspector, CLAP extensions, DirektDSP GUI, cycfi::Q
• Multi-plugin projects: Multiple plugins sharing dependencies and stuff
• Common implementation layer: standard C++ interfaces for cross-plugin interop
• Preset system: save/load configuration presets
• Selective submodule init: only clones what you enable
