@Lindon Licence is TBC, so interesting but not interesting enough for me to try yet.

[HISEnberg]

@Lindon Yes I looked this over the other day. There doesn't seem to be any official timeline on when it will be available but certainly am curious to try it. Seems like 2026 might be the year we start seeing "low to no code, AI built" plugins. Another one on my radar:

Beatconnect

However, I am still skeptical that there is enough information/resources for AIs to effectively reason about DSP theory and plugin development in general. More than likely we will see the market flooded with half-baked & buggy replicas of already existing products.

AI is perfect for this

[HISEnberg]

@David-Healey actually I am surprised no one has mentioned this in previous discussions but I find AI super useful when it comes to the annoying and boring parts of the development pipeline like codesigning, bash-script, installers, etc. (unless you have sadistic tendencies to enjoy codesigning)?

[David Healey]

@HISEnberg I use it a lot for bash scripting.

[ustk]

@HISEnberg @David-Healey I have only one bash that does plugin compilation, moves binaries in folders, sets the privileges, codesigns, builds package, and notarises... Everything customisable with prompts so I don't have to do all the process each time when I just want to try something (just VST + codesign for instance)

3 min and 2 password prompts later... Baaam! Ready for distribution!

I have yet to translate this to Windows but AI should do it in one (and a half) go
I encourage everyone to create bash scripts for anything like this. AI is very helpful for this.

I even made one yesterday that sets enables/disables AllowCompilation for all networks at once (that being said, having it in a Hise menu would be better...)

[David Healey]

@ustk

Bash is the way.

@David-Healey

[ustk]

@David-Healey Still... you should make one that prompts you on which job you want to start

[HISEnberg]

@ustk Super easy to do on Windows as well. :-)

I could probably edit out the personal details and share my templates for this but I always hesitate to spam the forum with AI generated content I didn't fully write or fully understand.

The AllowCompilation flag is a genius idea I don't know why I haven't thought of it!!!!

definitely understandable! (I mean, your statement...)

I know Oli Larking the dev of iPlug. He's worked very hard on this over the years. Awesome dood. He is day job is at Ableton and he's mostly working on it by himself....
