@brad This could be a long shot, but CLAP is gaining popularity fast. May be, it is time for Cantabile to add CLAP format? May be, in v.5, or 4400? I might participate in beta testing if needed.
It’s definitely moving up my todo list.
That would be cool!
I hope I never get CLAP !

Unfortunately some open source plugins are made only in CLAP. And there are some CLAP synths I’d love to play in Cantabile - standalone is much more effort to use with 3rd party fx.
Any update please? I use Cantabile all the time with Jamulus and a Clap plugin is about to come out - closer integration would be great for stability/performance.
Too late

Does CLAP warrant development effort? It hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. I do appreciate that there will be some CLAP-only offerings, but they must be in tiny numbers.
Questionable. My main motivation right now would be to support the concept - a simple open-source alternative to VST really is needed.
clap provides more efficient thread management, i.e. performance boost in many scenarios.
And there are some plugins that are available only as clap.
As a workaround we can use the clap-wrapper for the time being, but native support would be cool.
The jokes write themselves…
Can you elaborate, please? because I did not get your deeply minded comment.
Can you clarify what you’re referring to here? The model looks pretty similar to VST as best I can tell.
I assume he’s probably referring to the claims on the u-he CLAP page:
CLAP allows collaborative multicore support between plug-in and host through a so-called “thread-pool”, also allowing hosts to manage CPU-threading for plug-ins that provide their own multicore support. Preliminary tests show significant performance gains compared with current solutions.
(I haven’t tried developing anything for CLAP yet, but it sounds intriguing.)
Ah gotcha, forgot about that, and yes nice feature.
