beamer-vst3
VST3 implementation layer for the Beamer framework.
This crate provides the VST3 SDK integration that bridges beamer-core abstractions to the VST3 plugin format.
VST3 SDK
The VST3 SDK is MIT licensed (as of v3.8), making it available as a standard Rust dependency - no separate SDK downloads or licensing agreements required. Beamer uses Coupler's vst3 crate for the Rust bindings.
Features
- VST3 factory: Plugin registration and entry points
- Two-phase lifecycle: Descriptor ↔ Processor state machine (prepare/unprepare)
- Edit controller: Parameter management and host communication
- MIDI conversion: Bidirectional mapping between Beamer and VST3 MIDI events
- Real-time buffer management: Zero-allocation audio processing
Usage
Most users should use the beamer crate instead, which re-exports everything you need.
Use beamer-vst3 directly only if you're:
- Implementing a custom plugin wrapper
- Building tooling that needs VST3-specific functionality
Features
sysex-heap-fallback: Enable heap-backed overflow for SysEx messages (breaks real-time guarantee)
