  • DPF

    DISTRHO Plugin Framework

    • There are free (as far as licensing goes) alternatives such as DPF, but you will be doing a lot more of your own legwork with this system as not as much is provided for you.

  • JUCE

    JUCE is an open-source cross-platform C++ application framework for desktop and mobile applications, including VST, VST3, AU, AUv3, LV2 and AAX audio plug-ins.

    • For frameworks, JUCE is the most popular, and probably one you can find the most information on.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
