Build a web assembly synthesiser with iPlug 2

Taught by: Jean-Baptiste Thiebaut

iPlug2 is a new C++ framework that allows you to build cross-platform audio plug-ins, using minimal code. One of the exciting features of iPlug2 is that it lets you turn your plug-in into a web page that anyone can use without a DAW (see for example https://virtualcz.io).

DISCLAIMER: The codebase and tools used in the videos for this course have evolved since the videos were recorded in 2020. You should be able to achieve the same results with the latest versions of iPlug2, but some steps shown in the materials are outdated. Please note that no support is provided when buying this course.

What you'll learn

  • In this workshop participants will learn how to build a web based synthesiser using cloud based tools, and publish it to a GitHub pages website. We will look at some basic DSP in order to customise the sound of the synthesiser and we will also customise the user interface. The same project builds native audio plug-ins, although in the workshop we will focus on the web version.
