1 What is ladspa++?

ladspa++ is a C++ wrapper for ladspa. More exactly, you write your plugin in C++, and ladspa++ "generates" C code that ladspa can read.

ladspa++ is fully ladspa compatible. However, in the future, it will allow additional features. Nevertheless, it will still be ladspa compatible.

Note: ladspa++ is a single header file. It is not a library, you will not find a libladspa++.

2 Why using ladspa++?

ladpsa++ brings many advantages to ladspa:

• compatibility to ladspa
• new and more features. further ideas:
  • allow UI elements such as function plots
  • allow keyboard input
  • descriptions of knobs
  • different types of UI elements than knobs
  • ...
• early error detection with compile time error messages
• possible runtime speedups:
  • correct use of the const keyword
  • ...
• code is easy to write:
  • collection of common port types and strings
  • code is smaller
  • ...
