      <h2 id="firstpara">Developing Vamp plugins and hosts</h2>

      <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>Vamp plugins use a C binary interface 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 in the SDK.</p>

      <p>Alternatively, you can also now make Vamp plugins in
      Python using <a href="vampy.html">VamPy</a>.</p>

      <h3>Developer Downloads</h3>
      <ul><li>Download the <b>Vamp plugin SDK</b> (version 2.9):

      <ul><br><li>The main SDK (development headers, source code, example code):
<br>
<a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/attachments/download/2588/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.9.0.tar.gz">As a gzipped tar file</a>
or
<a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/attachments/download/2589/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.9.0.zip">as a ZIP file</a>.
</li><br>

      <li>Pre-compiled library and host binaries:

<br>
<a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/attachments/download/2597/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.9.0-binaries-win64-msvc2017.zip">Windows (64-bit Intel x64, MSVC 2017)</a>;
<a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/attachments/download/2593/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.9.0-binaries-macos.tar.gz">macOS (64-bit Intel)</a>;
and
<a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/attachments/download/2590/vamp-plugin-sdk-2.9.0-binaries-amd64-linux.tar.gz">Linux (64-bit Intel)</a>.
</li><br>

      <li>Example plugin binaries:

      </ul>

      <br>

      <li>Download the <b>Vamp plugin tester</b>, a simple
      command-line utility that tests your plugins for various common
      failure cases.  It can't check whether you're getting the right
      results, but it can help you write better behaved and more
      resilient plugins.

      <ul><br><li>Download all binary and source packages <a
      href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/vamp-plugin-tester/files">from the download page</a>.</li>
      <li>See also the project <a
      href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/vamp-plugin-tester">overview page</a>.</li>
      </ul>

      </ul>
      <h3>Developer Documentation</h3>
      <ul>

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

      <li>Read a tutorial on building a new plugin: <a href="http://vamp-plugins.org/wiki/mtp1">using OS/X command-line tools</a> or <a href="http://vamp-plugins.org/wiki/mtp2">using Visual C++ on Windows</a>.</li>

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

      <li>Read the <a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/vamp-plugin-sdk/wiki/SampleType">detailed docs about SampleType and SampleRate</a> properties of a plugin's outputs.</li>

      <li><a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/vamp-plugin-sdk/embedded/">Read the API documentation online</a>.  Your plugins will normally derive from <a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/vamp-plugin-sdk/embedded/classVamp_1_1Plugin.html">the Vamp::Plugin class</a>.</li>

      <li><a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/vamp-plugin-sdk/repository/entry/README">Read the README file for the SDK</a>.</li>

      <li>Have a look at a simple example plugin: <a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/vamp-plugin-sdk/repository/entry/examples/ZeroCrossing.h">header</a>, <a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/vamp-plugin-sdk/repository/entry/examples/ZeroCrossing.cpp">source file</a>.

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

      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>
