Detailed Description

Base class for an active instance of a plugin.

This derives from the AudioProcessor class, and adds some extra functionality that helps when wrapping dynamically loaded plugins.

This class is not needed when writing plugins, and you should never need to derive your own sub-classes from it. The plugin hosting classes use it internally and will return AudioPluginInstance objects which wrap external plugins.

Member Function Documentation

◆ fillInPluginDescription()

virtual void AudioPluginInstance::fillInPluginDescription ( PluginDescription ) const
pure virtual

Fills-in the appropriate parts of this plugin description object.

Implemented in AudioProcessorGraph::AudioGraphIOProcessor.

◆ getPluginDescription()

PluginDescription AudioPluginInstance::getPluginDescription ( ) const

Returns a PluginDescription for this plugin.

This is just a convenience method to avoid calling fillInPluginDescription.
