Then you can build native plugins by running the following command:

dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 -p:PublishAot=true

License

The core part of this software is released under the BSD-2-Clause license but you have also to follow the following VST3 license:

NOTICE

When you are developing a plugin with NPlug, your plugin needs to comply with the VST 3 Licensing. If your plugin is distributed, it needs to either be published under:

• The Proprietary Steinberg VST 3 license if you want to keep your plugin closed source.
• The Open-source GPLv3 license if you want to make your plugin OSS.

What it means is that you are allowed to modify and redistribute NPlug (according to the BSD-2-Clause license) but you need to publish your plugin under the VST3 dual-license.

nplug.samples's Issues

Add a sample with UI

I was not able to find a .NET UI library that is small enough (e.g not bringing 10MB of Skia native binaries) and compatible with NativeAOT, and would support the VST3 model (e.g just HWND, renderloop is handled by the host).
