PluginUI.Host.Windows

Windows audio and MIDI devices for PluginUI.Host: plays plug-ins live.

  • AsioDriver: ASIO drivers of sound cards (Asio.GetDrivers): every channel, the card's sample rates and buffer sizes, its control panel, restart requests (ResetRequested); integer and float sample formats converted from and to 32-bit float. Open it on the UI thread (STA). 64-bit only. ASIO is a trademark of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH; no part of the ASIO SDK is used.
  • WasapiDriver: WASAPI in shared mode, event-driven, at the smallest period the audio engine allows (IAudioClient3, often under 3 ms at 48 kHz) or the requested buffer; optional input from a recording device at the same sample rate; samples converted from and to 32-bit float; the audio thread is registered with MMCSS ("Pro Audio"); a removed device is reported through AudioDriver.Failed.
  • Wasapi.GetEndpoints: output and input devices with their names, channels and sample rates.
  • MidiInput: MIDI input ports (winmm), short messages with their time delivered on the driver's thread, system exclusive messages on request.
  • MidiOutput: MIDI output ports (winmm): Send, SendSysex, AllNotesOff; as an IMidiSink it takes the MIDI a plug-in produces on the audio thread without waiting (RackSlot.MidiOut).

The ASIO binding and the handling of system exclusive buffers follow NAudio (MIT, Copyright 2008-2026 Mark Heath).

var rack = new PluginRack();
var slot = rack.Add(plugin, new TestSignalGenerator { Signal = TestSignal.PinkNoise, LevelDb = -18 });
using var device = new WasapiDriver(outputId: null);   // default device of Windows
device.Start(rack);

NativeAOT compatible (function pointers, no runtime marshalling). Windows 10 1809 or later. Build the application with <CETCompat>false</CETCompat> when it loads plug-ins.
