Audio processing
Planar audio, sample-timed events, smoothing, prepared graphs, filters, FFT and convolution. Keep preparation separate from the processing callback.
Rust Audio Visual Engineering Toolkit
PREVIEW!A Rust toolkit for
audio developers.
A framework for audio plug-ins and standalone applications. Portable processing, prepared DSP, state and visual tools — with explicit boundaries between your audio code and the host.
RAVET is in development. Repository access currently requires permission; the guides are available here.
RUST AT THE COREPORTABLE PROCESSINGEXPLICIT HOST BOUNDARIESGPLv3 + COMMERCIAL ROUTE
Audio, control and
host integration.
Build on reusable components with prepared capacities, explicit ownership and deterministic tests. The feature catalogue records what is implemented, what is a prototype, and what still needs validation.
Parameters and state
Parameters, observable state, presets, MIDI and OSC. Reusable primitives for connecting sound, automation and interface controls.
Plug-in and device integration
CLAP, VST3, AUv2, AAX and LV2 reference prototypes, plus explicit device adapters. Validation varies by format and platform.
Eight frames.
A working starting point.
The first example runs an offline stereo gain fixture, applies automation, and checks the output. It opens no audio device and installs no plug-in.
cargo run -p ravet-gain --lockedGuides, contracts and
validation evidence.
Search hosted guides, explore the processing contracts, and check the scope of each integration before you build.
Getting started ↗
Set up Rust and Python, run the offline gain example, and check sample-timed automation against known output.
Then build the CLAP bundle, load it in the smoke host and validate it before trying a DAW. The guide also covers native editor checks and generating Rust API documentation.
Architecture ↗
See how portable DSP is separated from plug-in formats, audio devices and editors. Covers crate responsibilities, borrowed planar buffers, processor ownership and the prepare/process/reset lifecycle.
Follow the boundaries between the audio thread, control state and worker services, including where allocation is allowed and how adapters translate host data.
Feature catalogue ↗
Browse DSP, graphs, parameters, presets, MIDI and OSC, file I/O and native integrations.
Each feature records its implementation status, current limits, source and test evidence. Distinguish reusable components from format prototypes and find the supporting guide for each capability.
