      <p>Vamp is an easy system to develop plugins for.  It has
      a standard cross-platform SDK which includes API documentation,
      example plugins, ready-to-use C++ base classes, the C API
      header, and a test host.</p>

      <p>The formal Vamp API is defined in C for the greatest level of
      binary compatibility.  However, plugins and hosts are strongly
      encouraged to make use of the set of C++ base classes provided.
      This is particularly advisable since the values returned by a
      plugin may have relatively complex structures.</p>

      <ul><li>Download the Vamp plugin SDK (current version 2.0):

      <ul><li>The development headers and source code: <a href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.0.tar.gz">Gzipped tar file</a> or <a href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.0.zip">ZIP file</a> (the contents are identical).</li>

      <li>Pre-compiled library and host binaries for <a href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.0-binaries-win32-mingw32.zip">Windows (MinGW)</a>, <a href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.0-staticlibs-win32-msvc.zip">Windows (MSVC: static libraries only)</a>, <a href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.0-binaries-osx-universal.tar.gz">OS/X</a>, <a href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.0-binaries-i686-linux.tar.gz">32-bit Linux</a>, and <a href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.0-binaries-amd64-linux.tar.gz">64-bit Linux</a>.</li>

      </ul>

      <br>

      <li><b>New!</b> Read the Vamp plugin SDK <a href="guide.pdf">Programmers
      Guide</a>!</li>

      <li>Read <a href="vamp-programmer-presentation.pdf">a presentation</a> about the principles of Vamp plugins for
      potential developers.</li>

      <li><a href="code-doc/index.html">Read the API documentation online</a>.  Your plugins will normally derive from <a href="code-doc/classVamp_1_1Plugin.html">the Vamp::Plugin class</a>.</li>

      <li><a href="http://vamp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk/trunk/README?view=markup">Read the README file for the SDK</a>.</li>

      <li>Have a look at a simple example plugin: <a href="http://vamp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk/trunk/examples/ZeroCrossing.h">header</a>, <a href="http://vamp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk/trunk/examples/ZeroCrossing.cpp">source file</a>.

      <li>Read documentation for all the <a href="plugin-doc/vamp-example-plugins.html">SDK example plugins</a>.

      <li><a href="http://vamp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk/trunk/">Browse the SDK and examples code</a> in the Subversion repository.</li>

      </ul>

      <p>The entire SDK is published under a very permissive BSD-style
      <a
      href="http://vamp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vamp/vamp-plugin-sdk/trunk/COPYING">license</a>.
      You are encouraged to copy from it wholesale, whether developing
      open-source or proprietary plugin or host software.</p>

      <h3>Mailing list and forum</h3>

      <p>Vamp plugin and host development may be discussed on the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=192001">vamp-devel list</a> and the <a href="http://vamp-plugins.org/forum/">Vamp plugins forum</a>.</p>
