audio_scripter
A real-time scriptable audio effect plug-in whose small language runs once per sample and can be reloaded without recompiling or restarting the host.
2026
audio_scripter is available as VST3, Audio Unit and standalone software. Scripts read stereo input samples, maintain state, use DSP primitives and write stereo output samples; pressing Apply replaces the running script without a compilation step.
The implementation includes lock-free script swapping, automatable parameters, a parser and validator, and a library of conventional and experimental audio effects.
