Generate multiple dsp plugin formats from Max gen~ exports
Project description
gen-dsp
This project is a friendly fork of Michael Spears' gen_ext which was originally created to "compile code exported from a Max gen~ object into an "external" object that can be loaded into a PureData patch."
This fork has taken this excellent original idea and implementation and extended it to include Max/MSP externals, ChucK chugins, AudioUnit (AUv2) plugins, CLAP plugins, VST3 plugins, LV2 plugins, SuperCollider UGens, VCV Rack modules, Daisy (Electrosmith) embedded firmware, and possibly other DSP architectures (see TODO.md).
gen-dsp compiles code exported from Max gen~ objects into external objects for PureData, Max/MSP, ChucK, AudioUnit (AUv2), CLAP, VST3, LV2, SuperCollider, VCV Rack, and Daisy (Electrosmith). It automates project setup, buffer detection, and platform-specific patches.
Key Improvements
-
Python package: gen-dsp is a pip installable zero-dependency python package with a cli which embeds all templates and related code.
-
Automated project scaffolding:
gen-dsp initcreates a complete, buildable project from a gen~ export in one command, versus manually copying files and editing Makefiles. -
Automatic buffer detection: Scans exported code for buffer usage patterns and configures them without manual intervention.
-
Max/MSP support: Generates CMake-based Max externals with proper 64-bit signal handling and buffer lock/unlock API.
-
ChucK support: Generates chugins (.chug) with multi-channel I/O and runtime parameter control.
-
AudioUnit support: Generates macOS AUv2 plugins (.component) using the raw C API -- no Apple SDK dependency, just system frameworks.
-
CLAP support: Generates cross-platform CLAP plugins (
.clap) with zero-copy audio processing -- CLAP headers fetched via CMake FetchContent. -
VST3 support: Generates cross-platform VST3 plugins (
.vst3) with zero-copy audio processing -- Steinberg VST3 SDK fetched via CMake FetchContent. -
LV2 support: Generates cross-platform LV2 plugins (
.lv2bundles) with TTL metadata containing real parameter names/ranges parsed from gen~ exports -- LV2 headers fetched via CMake FetchContent. -
SuperCollider support: Generates cross-platform SC UGens (
.scx/.so) with.scclass files containing parameter names/defaults parsed from gen~ exports -- SC plugin headers fetched via CMake FetchContent. -
VCV Rack support: Generates VCV Rack modules with per-sample processing, auto-generated
plugin.jsonmanifest and panel SVG -- requires pre-installed Rack SDK. -
Daisy support: Generates Daisy Seed firmware (.bin) with custom genlib runtime (bump allocator for SRAM/SDRAM) -- first embedded/cross-compilation target, requires
arm-none-eabi-gcc. -
Platform-specific patches: Automatically fixes compatibility issues like the
exp2f -> exp2problem in Max 9 exports on macOS. -
Analysis tools:
gen-dsp detectinspects exports to show I/O counts, parameters, and buffers before committing to a build. -
Dry-run mode: Preview what changes will be made before applying them.
-
Platform registry: To make it easy to discover new backends
Installation
pip install gen-dsp
Or install from source:
git clone https://github.com/shakfu/gen-dsp.git
cd gen-dsp
pip install -e .
Quick Start
# 1. Export your gen~ code in Max (send 'exportcode' to gen~ object)
# 2. Create a project from the export
gen-dsp init ./path/to/export -n myeffect -o ./myeffect
# 3. Build the external
cd myeffect
make all
# 4. Use in PureData as myeffect~
Commands
init
Create a new project from a gen~ export:
gen-dsp init <export-path> -n <name> [-p <platform>] [-o <output>]
Options:
-n, --name- Name for the external (required)-p, --platform- Target platform:pd(default),max,chuck,au,clap,vst3,lv2,sc,vcvrack,daisy, orboth-o, --output- Output directory (default:./<name>)--buffers- Explicit buffer names (overrides auto-detection)--shared-cache- Use a shared OS cache for FetchContent downloads (clap, vst3, lv2, sc only)--no-patch- Skip automatic exp2f fix--dry-run- Preview without creating files
build
Build an existing project:
gen-dsp build [project-path] [-p <platform>] [--clean] [-v]
detect
Analyze a gen~ export:
gen-dsp detect <export-path> [--json]
Shows: export name, signal I/O counts, parameters, detected buffers, and needed patches.
patch
Apply platform-specific fixes:
gen-dsp patch <target-path> [--dry-run]
Currently applies the exp2f -> exp2 fix for macOS compatibility with Max 9 exports.
Features
Automatic Buffer Detection
gen-dsp scans your gen~ export for buffer usage patterns and configures them automatically:
$ gen-dsp detect ./my_sampler_export
Gen~ Export: my_sampler
Signal inputs: 1
Signal outputs: 2
Parameters: 3
Buffers: ['sample', 'envelope']
Buffer names must be valid C identifiers (alphanumeric, starting with a letter).
Platform Patches
Max 9 exports include exp2f which fails on macOS. gen-dsp automatically patches this to exp2 during project creation, or you can apply it manually:
gen-dsp patch ./my_project --dry-run # Preview
gen-dsp patch ./my_project # Apply
Using the External in PureData
Parameters
Send <parameter-name> <value> messages to the first inlet:
[frequency 440(
|
[mysynth~]
Send bang to print all available parameters.
Buffers
Buffers connect to PureData arrays with matching names. To remap a buffer to a different array:
[pdset original_buffer new_array(
|
[mysampler~]
Sample Rate and Block Size
For subpatches with custom block sizes (e.g., spectral processing):
[pdsr 96000( <- Set sample rate
[pdbs 2048( <- Set block size
|
[myspectral~]
Max/MSP Support
gen-dsp supports generating Max/MSP externals using CMake and the max-sdk-base submodule.
Quick Start (Max)
# Create a Max project
gen-dsp init ./my_export -n myeffect -p max -o ./myeffect_max
# Build (automatically clones max-sdk-base if needed)
gen-dsp build ./myeffect_max -p max
# Output: myeffect_max/externals/myeffect~.mxo (macOS) or myeffect~.mxe64 (Windows)
Or build manually:
cd myeffect_max
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Cycling74/max-sdk-base.git
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake .. && cmake --build .
ChucK Support
gen-dsp supports generating ChucK chugins (.chug files) using make and a bundled chugin.h header.
Quick Start (ChucK)
# Create a ChucK project
gen-dsp init ./my_export -n myeffect -p chuck -o ./myeffect_chuck
# Build
cd myeffect_chuck
make mac # macOS
make linux # Linux
# Use in ChucK
# @import "Myeffect"
# Myeffect eff => dac;
ChucK API
The generated chugin extends UGen and provides:
// Import and instantiate (connects as UGen)
@import "Myeffect"
Myeffect eff => dac;
// Set a parameter by name
eff.param("frequency", 440.0);
// Get a parameter by name
eff.param("frequency") => float freq;
// Query parameters
eff.numParams() => int n;
eff.paramName(0) => string name;
// Print info (parameters, I/O, buffers)
eff.info();
// Reset internal state
eff.reset();
Key Differences from PureData
| Aspect | ChucK | PureData |
|---|---|---|
| Signal type | float (32-bit) | float (32-bit) |
| Build system | make (chugin pattern) | make (pd-lib-builder) |
| Output format | .chug | .pd_darwin / .pd_linux |
| Parameter access | param(string, float) |
message to first inlet |
| Multi-channel | CK_DLL_TICKF (interleaved) |
per-signal inlets/outlets |
AudioUnit (AUv2) Support
gen-dsp supports generating macOS AudioUnit v2 plugins (.component bundles) using CMake and the raw AUv2 C API. No Apple AudioUnitSDK is needed -- only system frameworks (AudioToolbox, CoreFoundation, CoreAudio).
Quick Start (AudioUnit)
# Create an AudioUnit project
gen-dsp init ./my_export -n myeffect -p au -o ./myeffect_au
# Build
cd myeffect_au
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake .. && cmake --build .
# Output: build/myeffect.component
# Install (optional)
cp -r myeffect.component ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
The plugin is automatically detected as an effect (aufx) if the gen~ export has inputs, or a generator (augn) if it has no inputs. The .component bundle is ad-hoc code signed during build.
AU Plugin Details
- Component type:
aufx(effect) oraugn(generator), auto-detected from I/O - Subtype: first 4 characters of the library name (lowercased)
- Manufacturer:
gdsp - Parameters: all gen~ parameters are exposed as AU parameters with name, min, max
- Audio format: Float32, non-interleaved (standard AU format)
CLAP Support
gen-dsp supports generating cross-platform CLAP plugins (.clap files) using CMake and the CLAP C API (header-only, MIT licensed). CLAP headers are fetched automatically at configure time via CMake FetchContent.
Quick Start (CLAP)
# Create a CLAP project
gen-dsp init ./my_export -n myeffect -p clap -o ./myeffect_clap
# Build
cd myeffect_clap
mkdir -p build && cd build

# Output: build/myeffect.clap
# Install (optional)
# macOS:
cp myeffect.clap ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/
# Linux:
cp myeffect.clap ~/.clap/
The plugin is automatically detected as an audio effect if the gen~ export has inputs, or an instrument if it has no inputs. On macOS, the .clap file is ad-hoc code signed during build.
CLAP Plugin Details
- Plugin type:
audio_effectorinstrument, auto-detected from I/O - Plugin ID:
com.gen-dsp.<lib_name> - Parameters: all gen~ parameters exposed via the CLAP params extension (automatable)

data32layout matches gen~'sfloat**exactly) - Cross-platform: macOS and Linux (unlike AudioUnit)
- Extensions:
audio-ports,params
VST3 Support
gen-dsp supports generating cross-platform VST3 plugins (.vst3 bundles) using CMake and the Steinberg VST3 SDK. The SDK is fetched automatically at configure time via CMake FetchContent.
Quick Start (VST3)
# Create a VST3 project
gen-dsp init ./my_export -n myeffect -p vst3 -o ./myeffect_vst3
# Build
cd myeffect_vst3
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake .. && cmake --build .
# Output: build/VST3/Release/myeffect.vst3/
# Install (optional)
# macOS:
cp -r VST3/Release/myeffect.vst3 ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
# Linux:
cp -r VST3/Release/myeffect.vst3 ~/.vst3/
The plugin is automatically detected as an effect (Fx) if the gen~ export has inputs, or an instrument (Instrument|Synth) if it has no inputs. On macOS, the .vst3 bundle is ad-hoc code signed during build.
VST3 Plugin Details
- Plugin type:
FxorInstrument|Synth, auto-detected from I/O - Plugin FUID: deterministic 128-bit ID from MD5 of
com.gen-dsp.vst3.<lib_name> - Parameters: all gen~ parameters exposed as

channelBuffers32layout matches gen~'sfloat**exactly) - Cross-platform: macOS, Linux, and Windows
- SDK:
SingleComponentEffect(combined processor+controller) -- simplest VST3 plugin structure - License: VST3 SDK is GPL3/proprietary dual licensed -- users needing a proprietary license must obtain one from Steinberg
LV2 Support
gen-dsp supports generating cross-platform LV2 plugins (.lv2 bundle directories) using CMake and the LV2 C API (header-only, ISC licensed). LV2 headers are fetched automatically at configure time via CMake FetchContent.
Quick Start (LV2)
# Create an LV2 project
gen-dsp init ./my_export -n myeffect -p lv2 -o ./myeffect_lv2
# Build
cd myeffect_lv2
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake .. && cmake --build .
# Output: build/myeffect.lv2/
# Install (optional)
# macOS:
cp -r myeffect.lv2 ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2/
# Linux:
cp -r myeffect.lv2 ~/.lv2/
The plugin is automatically detected as an effect (EffectPlugin) if the gen~ export has inputs, or a generator (GeneratorPlugin) if it has no inputs. On macOS, the binary is ad-hoc code signed during build.
LV2 Plugin Details
- Plugin type:
EffectPluginorGeneratorPlugin, auto-detected from I/O - Plugin URI:
http://gen-dsp.com/plugins/<lib_name> - Parameters: all gen~ parameters exposed as LV2 control ports with real names and ranges parsed from the gen~ export
- Audio format: Float32, port-based (individual
float*per audio channel, collected into arrays forwrapper_perform()) - Cross-platform: macOS and Linux
- TTL metadata:
manifest.ttl(discovery) and<name>.ttl(ports, parameters) generated at project creation time - Bundle output:
.lv2directory containing shared library + 2 TTL files
SuperCollider Support
gen-dsp supports generating cross-platform SuperCollider UGens (.scx on macOS, .so on Linux) using CMake and the SC plugin interface headers. SC headers are fetched automatically at configure time via CMake FetchContent.
Quick Start (SuperCollider)
# Create a SuperCollider project
gen-dsp init ./my_export -n myeffect -p sc -o ./myeffect_sc
# Build
cd myeffect_sc
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake .. && cmake --build .
# Output: build/myeffect.scx (macOS) or build/myeffect.so (Linux)
# Install (copy both the binary and the .sc class file)
# macOS:
cp myeffect.scx ~/Library/Application\ Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/
cp ../Myeffect.sc ~/Library/Application\ Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/
# Linux:
cp myeffect.so ~/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/
cp ../Myeffect.sc ~/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/
The plugin is automatically detected as an effect if the gen~ export has inputs, or a generator if it has no inputs. On macOS, the binary is ad-hoc code signed during build.
SC UGen Details
- UGen name: lib_name with first letter capitalized (e.g.,
gigaverb->Gigaverb) -- SC class names must start uppercase - Input layout: audio inputs first (0..N-1), then parameters (N..N+P-1) at control rate
- Parameters: all gen~ parameters exposed as SC UGen inputs with real names and defaults parsed from the gen~ export
- Audio format: Float32, block-based (zero-copy -- SC's
IN()/OUT()buffers passed directly to gen~'sfloat**) - Cross-platform: macOS and Linux
- Class file:
.scfile generated at project creation time; extendsMultiOutUGen(multi-output) orUGen(single output)
Using in SuperCollider
// Boot the server, then use the UGen
s.boot;
// Effect (has audio inputs)
{ Gigaverb.ar(SoundIn.ar([0, 1]), revtime: 0.8, damping: 0.5) }.play;
// Generator (no audio inputs)
{ MyOsc.ar(freq: 440, amp: 0.3) }.play;
VCV Rack Support
gen-dsp supports generating VCV Rack modules using the Rack SDK's Makefile-based build system. The VCV Rack SDK must be pre-installed and RACK_DIR must point to it.
Quick Start (VCV Rack)
# Create a VCV Rack project
gen-dsp init ./my_export -n myeffect -p vcvrack -o ./myeffect_vcvrack
# Build (requires RACK_DIR to point to Rack SDK)
cd myeffect_vcvrack
export RACK_DIR=/path/to/Rack-SDK
make
# Output: plugin.dylib (macOS), plugin.so (Linux), or plugin.dll (Windows)
# Install: copy entire plugin directory to VCV Rack plugins folder
# macOS: ~/Documents/Rack2/plugins/
# Linux: ~/.Rack2/plugins/
The module is automatically detected as an effect (Effect tag) if the gen~ export has inputs, or a generator (Synth Voice tag) if it has no inputs.
VCV Rack Module Details
- Processing: Per-sample via
perform(n=1)-- zero latency, called once per sample from VCV Rack'sprocess() - Voltage scaling: gen~ audio [-1, 1] mapped to VCV standard +/-5V; parameters map directly (gen~ min/max = knob min/max)
- Parameters: all gen~ parameters exposed as knobs with real names and ranges queried at construction time
- Panel: auto-generated dark SVG panel sized to component count (6/10/16/24 HP)
- Auto-layout: screws at corners, knobs for params, input/output ports arranged in columns
- Manifest:
plugin.jsongenerated with module slug, tags, and brand info - Cross-platform: macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Plugin ID: slug matches lib_name
Daisy (Electrosmith) Support
gen-dsp supports generating firmware for the Daisy Seed, an STM32H750-based embedded audio platform popular for Eurorack modules and DIY hardware. This is gen-dsp's first cross-compilation target -- it requires arm-none-eabi-gcc and produces firmware binaries (.bin) for DFU flashing.
Quick Start (Daisy)
# Create a Daisy project
gen-dsp init ./my_export -n myeffect -p daisy -o ./myeffect_daisy
# Build (auto-clones libDaisy on first run; requires arm-none-eabi-gcc)
gen-dsp build ./myeffect_daisy -p daisy
# Output: build/myeffect.bin
# Flash via DFU (put Daisy in bootloader mode first)
# Using dfu-util:
dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D build/myeffect.bin
Daisy Details
- Target: Daisy Seed (v1) -- 2in/2out stereo audio, no built-in controls
- Compiler:
arm-none-eabi-gcc(ARM cross-compilation) - Output: firmware
.binfor DFU flashing - Audio format: Float32, non-interleaved (libDaisy's callback matches gen~'s
float**directly) - Memory: custom genlib runtime with two-tier bump allocator (SRAM ~450KB + SDRAM 64MB)
- Parameters: retain gen~ defaults; modify
gen_ext_daisy.cppto add ADC reads for knobs/CV - SDK: libDaisy auto-cloned and built on first use (pinned to v7.1.0)
- SDK resolution:
LIBDAISY_DIRenv var >GEN_DSP_CACHE_DIRenv var > OS cache path - Channel mapping:
min(gen_channels, 2)mapped to hardware; extra gen~ I/O uses scratch buffers - Board targets: Pod, Patch, Field, Petal, Versio can be added in future versions
Platform Comparison
| Aspect | LV2 | VST3 | CLAP | SC | VCV Rack | Daisy | AudioUnit | ChucK | PureData | Max/MSP |

PureData vs Max/MSP
| Aspect | PureData | Max/MSP |
|---|---|---|
| Signal type | float (32-bit) | double (64-bit) |
| Buffer storage | float (32-bit) | float (32-bit) |
| Build system | make (pd-lib-builder) | CMake (max-sdk-base) |
| Buffer access | Direct array | Lock/unlock API |
| Output format | .pd_darwin / .pd_linux | .mxo / .mxe64 |
For PureData, gen~ is compiled with 32-bit float signals. For Max, gen~ uses native 64-bit double signals, with automatic float conversion for buffer access (Max buffers are always 32-bit).
Shared FetchContent Cache
CLAP, VST3, LV2, and SC backends use CMake FetchContent to download their SDKs/headers at configure time. By default each project downloads its own copy. Two opt-in mechanisms allow sharing a single download across projects:
--shared-cache flag
Pass --shared-cache to gen-dsp init to bake an OS-appropriate cache path into the generated CMakeLists.txt:
gen-dsp init ./my_export -n myeffect -p vst3 --shared-cache
This resolves to:
| OS | Cache path |
|---|---|
| macOS | ~/Library/Caches/gen-dsp/fetchcontent/ |
| Linux | $XDG_CACHE_HOME/gen-dsp/fetchcontent/ (defaults to ~/.cache/) |
| Windows | %LOCALAPPDATA%/gen-dsp/fetchcontent/ |
GEN_DSP_CACHE_DIR environment variable
Set this at cmake configure time to override any baked-in path (or use it without --shared-cache):
GEN_DSP_CACHE_DIR=/path/to/cache cmake ..
The env var takes highest priority, followed by the --shared-cache path, followed by CMake's default (project-local build/_deps/).
The development Makefile exports GEN_DSP_CACHE_DIR=build/.fetchcontent_cache automatically, so make example-clap, make example-vst3, make example-lv2, and make example-sc share the same SDK cache used by tests.
Limitations
- Maximum of 5 buffers per external
- Buffers are single-channel only. Use multiple buffers for multi-channel audio.
- Max/MSP: Windows builds require Visual Studio or equivalent MSVC toolchain
- AudioUnit: macOS only; initial implementation may not pass all
auvalchecks - CLAP: first CMake configure requires network access to fetch CLAP headers (cached afterward)
- VST3: first CMake configure requires network access to fetch VST3 SDK (~50MB, cached afterward); GPL3/proprietary dual license
- LV2: first CMake configure requires network access to fetch LV2 headers (cached afterward)
- SuperCollider: first CMake configure requires network access to fetch SC headers (~80MB tarball, cached afterward)
- VCV Rack: requires pre-installed Rack SDK (
RACK_DIRenv var); per-sampleperform(n=1)has higher CPU overhead than block-based processing - Daisy: requires
arm-none-eabi-gcccross-compiler; first clone of libDaisy requires network access andgit; v1 targets Daisy Seed only (no board-specific knob/CV mapping)

Building Example Plugins
The Makefile includes targets for generating and building example plugins from the test fixtures:
make example-pd # PureData external
make example-max # Max/MSP external
make example-chuck # ChucK chugin
make example-au # AudioUnit plugin (macOS only)
make example-clap # CLAP plugin
make example-vst3 # VST3 plugin
make example-lv2 # LV2 plugin
make example-sc # SuperCollider UGen
make example-vcvrack # VCV Rack module (requires RACK_DIR)
make example-daisy # Daisy firmware (requires arm-none-eabi-gcc)
make examples # All platforms
Override the fixture, name, or buffers:
make example-chuck FIXTURE=RamplePlayer NAME=rampleplayer BUFFERS="--buffers sample"
Available fixtures: gigaverb (default, no buffers), RamplePlayer (has buffers), spectraldelayfb.
Output goes to build/examples/.
Adding New Backends
gen-dsp uses a platform registry system that makes it straightforward to add support for new audio platforms (VCV Rack, Bela, Daisy, etc.). See NEW_BACKENDS.md for a complete guide.
Attribution
Test fixtures include code exported from examples bundled with Max:
- gigaverb: ported from Juhana Sadeharju's implementation
