Audio Plugin Creation and Hosting
Audio Toolbox™ enables you to debug and validate your MATLAB® audio plugins using a series of static and dynamic tests. You
can then generate VST or AU audio plugins and deploy to your preferred
digital audio workstation (DAW). You can also host VST, VST3, and AU plugins
in MATLAB by using the loadAudioPlugin function.
Use the Audio Test Bench app to debug and
tune your audio plugins in MATLAB.

Featured Examples
Ambisonic Plugin Generation
This examples shows how to create ambisonic plugins using MATLAB® higher order ambisonic (HOA) demo functions. Ambisonics is a spatial audio technique which represents a three-dimensional sound field using spherical harmonics. This example contains an encoder plugin, a function to generate custom encoder plugins, a decoder plugin, and a function to generate custom decoder plugins. The customization of plugin generation enables a user to specify various ambisonic orders and various device lists for a given ambisonic configuration.
Delay-Based Pitch Shifter
An audio plugin designed to shift the pitch of a sound in real time.
Psychoacoustic Bass Enhancement for Band-Limited Signals
An audio plugin designed to enhance the perceived sound level in the lower part of the audible spectrum.
Tunable Filtering and Visualization Using Audio Plugins
Visualize the magnitude response of a tunable filter. The filters in this example are implemented as audio plugins. This example uses the visualize and audioTestBench functionality of the Audio Toolbox™.
Communicate Between a DAW and MATLAB Using UDP
Communicate between a digital audio workstation (DAW) and MATLAB® using the user datagram protocol (UDP). The information shared between the DAW and MATLAB can be used to perform visualization in real time in MATLAB on parameters that are being changed in the DAW.
