Metaplugin is a powerful plugin host designed to load and combine other plugins, allowing users to create complex effect chains and custom sound generators. Compatible with VST, VST3, and Audio Unit formats, it enables seamless integration of your existing effects and instruments into flexible networks. The package includes essential modules such as a Mid-Side matrix, a four-band crossover filter, and a routing plugin, providing immediate tools for advanced audio processing tasks like multiband compression, distortion, and reverb.

One of Metaplugin’s key strengths is its ability to function as a plugin wrapper, enabling the use of VST plugins within hosts that do not natively support them, such as Pro Tools and Logic. This cross-format compatibility extends to loading Audio Units in Cubase and bridging between 32-bit and 64-bit plugin architectures without additional software. The interface supports multiple output buses, sidechain inputs, and offers extensive automation capabilities, making it suitable for both effect processing and instrument creation.

Designed with convenience and performance in mind, Metaplugin features low CPU overhead, resizable windows, customizable color palettes, and an intuitive drag-and-drop plugin organizer. Oversampling options help maintain audio fidelity by reducing aliasing in both real-time and offline rendering modes. Available for Windows and Mac OS X, Metaplugin supports a wide range of plugin formats and hosts, making it an essential tool for producers and sound designers who want to expand their creative possibilities with existing plugins.
