Creating a VST Wrapper

General JUCE discussion

I’ve created a PluginWrapper that allows the loaded plugin to be swapped, based on the ideas here:

https://github.com/getdunne/juce-wrapper

Note that those code examples are somewhat old and had to be modified.

But the basic thing I added, after getting the wrapper working, was how to swap out the loaded plugin:

void PluginWrapper ::replacePlugin(std::unique_ptr<AudioPluginInstance> newPlugin)
{
    suspendProcessing (true);

    // replace the std:unique_ptr
    plugin = std::move (newPlugin);
    
    prepareToPlay(sampleRate, bufferSize);

    suspendProcessing (false);
};

From the place where you have created the new plugin, you have a std::unique_ptr, I call it like this:

plugWrapper->replacePlugin(std::move (instance));

It seems to work…
