About Open-Source Audio Plugins
OpenAudio is a browsable catalog of open-source audio software projects, covering plugins, apps, collections, software development libraries, code samples and open data resources. Each plugin entry gives a short description along with its type (for example instrument or effect) and the framework it uses, such as JUCE, NIH-Plug, DPF, Rust VST or GTK. The list is intended to include projects that are either fully featured or useful examples with non-trivial features, and it relies on community submissions that are prepared automatically and reviewed by an editor. It is a reference list rather than software you download or run on the site, and the content is in English.
