The clap-wrapper project provides tools to run a CLAP plugin as other plugin formats in non-CLAP hosts and as standalone executables. Using multiple strategies and projecting into multiple formats, the project provides the C++ and CMake tools needed to re-deploy your CLAP, and allows a form of clap-first development.

There are two ways to use the wrapper. You can integrate the wrapper into your current CMake based CLAP build and simply have additional targets, or you can build a CLAP through some other mechanism then have a standalone CMake project to build your wrappers. We have quick start guides for both

• Quick Start: Integrating into a CMake which builds a CLAP
• Quick Start: Setting up a CMake to wrap a CLAP built elsewhere

Core Developer Documentation explains how to use the wrapper system and the variety of deployment options we provide. Start here.

• ChangeLog shows the changes between tagged releases.
• Roadmap
• DAW Compatibilty Matrix gives an overview which DAWs are compatible with the plugin formats clap-wrapper supports.
• CLAP features wrappers cannot support lists things where the wrapper format has a different or smaller feature footprint than CLAP
