===== LIBRARIES =====
A collection of libraries and utility functions. While most are shared
libraries, they're pretty much exclusive to Ardour.
libraries, and almost all are exclusive to Ardour.
libs/
**** Independent libs ****
**** Independent, standalone libs ****
- appleutility
- libs/appleutility/
Utility Classes, abstraction for CoreAudio and AudioUnits (OSX, macOS)
- ardouralsautil
- libs/ardouralsautil/
Utility Class for device-listing (used by the jack and ALSA backends).
Device-reservation comandline tool (linked against libdbus), which is
also available from https://github.com/x42/alsa_request_device
- clearlooks-newer
- libs/clearlooks-newer/
GTK theme engine (used by gtk2_ardour)
- fluidsynth
- libs/fluidsynth/
Stripped down (library only) and slightly customized version of fluidsynth
use tools/update_fluidsynth.sh to update from upstream
- hidapi
- libs/hidapi/
Unmodified https://github.com/signal11/hidapi for interaction with some
control surfaces (Push2, NI Maschine)
- libltc
- libs/libltc/
Unmodified https://github.com/x42/libltc/ for Linear Timecode en/decoding
- lua
- libs/lua/
Lua Script interpreter and C++ class abstraction
- libs/lua/lua-5.3.5 is unmodified upstream Lua-5.3.5
- libs/lua/LuaBridge is a highly customized version of
https://github.com/vinniefalco/LuaBridge (C++ bindings)
- midi++2
- libs/midi++2/
(uses libpdb)
MIDI parsing, MIDNAM handling, Port abstraction for I/O
- ptformat
- libs/ptformat/
Unmodified https://github.com/zamaudio/ptformat for loading ProTools sessions
- temporal
- libs/temporal
various utility code for dealing with different kinds of time,
including Timecode (FPS) and musical time conversions
- qm-dsp
- libs/qm-dsp/
Stripped down version of https://github.com/c4dm/qm-dsp
The Queen Mary DSP library is used by VAMP Plugins
- vamp-plugins
VAMP plugins for audio analysis and offline processing (uses qm-dsp)
- vamp-pyin
- libs/vamp-pyin/
VAMP plugins for pitch and note-tracking (uses qm-dsp), offline analyis
- vfork
- libs/vfork/
A exec-wrapper which redirects file-descriptors to be used with vfork(2)
- plugins
- libs/vst3/
Stripped down version of Steinberg's VST3 SDK
https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3sdk/
see also tools/update_vst3.sh
- libs/plugins/
LV2 Plugins included with Ardour. These are currently mostly
independent (a-fluidsynth uses libfluidsynth).
Most of them are custom version of existing plugins (zamaudio, x42),
that have been customized to be bundled with Ardour on all platforms
tha ardour runs on.
- zita-convolver
- libs/zita-convolver/
convolution kernel, so far only avialable to Lua scripts.
- zita-resampler
- libs/zita-resampler/
Efficient resampler with variable rate, useful for adaptive resampling.
Mainly used for vari-speed playback.
**** PBD dependent libs ****
- pbd
- libs/pbd/
Generic non-Ardour-specific utility classes. This is the basis for all Ardour specifics.
It provides basic concepts and OS abstractions. The name comes from "Paul
Barton-Davis", Paul's full name at the time he started working on working on
audio software.
- evoral
- libs/evoral/
(uses libpbd)
Control events, control lists, automation evaluation,
parameter descriptions, incl MIDI event abstraction
- libsmf (contains several non-upstreamed fixes)
- libs/evoral/libsmf/ (contains several non-upstreamed fixes)
(used inside evoral)
Handling Standard MIDI File format. Abstracted to C++ in SMF.{cc,h}
- backends
- libs/backends/
(uses libpdb, ardouralsautil | appleutility, implements libardour interface)
Interaction with Operating System's Audio/MIDI API:
ALSA, CoreAudio, JACK, PortAudio/ASIO, Pulseaudio
- surfaces
- libs/surfaces/
(uses libpbd, libevoral, libtimecode, libardour ;; libgtkmm2ext, libcanvas)
Control Surfaces, dynamically loaded by libardour on runtime,
to remote-control ardour (midi bindings, network etc).
- panners
- libs/panners/
(uses libpdb, implements libardour interface)
Pan plugins (stereo-balance, VBAP, etc) are dynamically loaded at runtime.
- audiographer
- libs/audiographer/
(uses libpdb)
Mini Ardour inside Ardour to export audio-files from sessions.
- fst
(uses libpbd, implements external methods for libardour and gtk2ardour)
VST scanner tool and abstraction for Windows-VSTs to be used with
wine or MS windows.
- ardour
- libs/ardour/
(uses pretty much all the libs above)
This is it. libardour runs Ardour sessions
All realtime processing happens here, plugins are managed etc.
**** Plugin Scan Tools ****
- libs/auscan/
Apple Audio Unit Plugin Scan commandline tool.
- libs/fst/
VST2/3 plugin scan commandline tool.
**** UI related libs ****
- gtkmm2ext
- libs/gtkmm2ext/
(uses libpbd)
Utility Library to extend GDK, GTK, and basic abstraction for UIs
and event-loops. This library is not limited to the GUI, but also
used for other graphical interfaces (e.g. Push2, NI Maschine control
surfaces).
- canvas
