Audio Test Bench

Debug, test, and tune audio plugin

Description

The Audio Test Bench provides a graphical interface through which you can develop, debug, test, and tune your audio plugin in real time. You can interact with properties of your audio plugin using associated parameter graphical widgets. See audioPluginParameter for more information.

Using the Audio Test Bench, you can:

Debug your audio plugin.
Simulate your audio plugin as generated in a digital audio workstation (DAW).
Visualize your processing with time-domain and frequency-domain scopes.
Interactively synchronize MIDI controls to plugin properties.
Run validation checks and generate audio plugin binaries.
