Basic Audio Plugin part 1?

The Projucer
1

I’m just getting started with JUCE and am trying to work through the plugin tutorials. I started with https://docs.juce.com/master/tutorial_create_projucer_basic_plugin.html after reading through the Projucer info and get to the part where I’m setting up my plugin. The tutorial says to select “Audio Plugin-In”, which I don’t see. I do see Basic, so after a bit more reading, I select that. The tutorial then says to tick “VST3” which I don’t see. Huh? Ok. I also don’t see midi input and output (or any “Plugin Characteristics”) for that matter.

Undterred, I forge ahead and dive into part 2 (I know better…) and end up with a vst with a fantastic looking slider interface that has audio input/output but no midi connections. What am I missing?

I’m starting over and am wondering…do I need to add the “juce_midi_ci” module to my project? Do I need to alter something in ProJucer to see the options the tutorial mentions?

BTW, I’m running on a 64-bit processor using Windows 11 if that makes a difference.

In projucer there is an option paraphrasing here “pluginwantsMidiInput”

Make sure your project type is “Plug-In”

Select the gear :gear: icon for these options to show up in projucer

There is separate options menu for your Visual Studio you probably don’t need this yet

always use projucer for set up and creation of files and adding dependencies or else everything will get wiped out next time you load up the juicer file
