SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill simplifies the complex integration of the ARA (Audio Random Access) SDK into Pulp-based audio plugins, ensuring developers can implement advanced host-plugin communication without manual configuration errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SDK Integration Guidance: Provides clear instructions for setting up the ARA SDK and configuring CMake for cross-platform builds.
  • Validation & Testing: Offers automated verification steps to ensure the ARA factory is correctly wired and ABI-compliant.
  • Use Case: A developer building a pitch-correction plugin can use this skill to correctly wire the ARA document controller, ensuring the plugin communicates seamlessly with hosts like Logic Pro, Cubase, and Studio One.

Quick Start

Use the ara skill to verify the current ARA integration by running the pulp-test-ara build target.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate the ARA SDK into my audio plugin build?▼

To integrate the ARA SDK, configure CMake for cross-platform builds and follow setup instructions to wire the ARA document controller, ensuring seamless host-plugin communication without manual configuration errors.

What is ARA plugin validation and how does it work for VST3, AU, and CLAP?▼

ARA plugin validation is an automated verification process ensuring the ARA factory is correctly wired and ABI-compliant. It verifies interface requirements and host-specific threading contracts for VST3, AU, and CLAP adapters.

Do I need CMake to configure ARA SDK cross-platform builds for Pulp plugins?▼

Yes, you need CMake to configure ARA SDK cross-platform builds for Pulp plugins. The setup provides clear instructions for CMake configuration to ensure correct cross-platform compilation and integration.

Can I use ARA integration to support hosts like Logic Pro, Cubase, and Studio One?▼

Yes, ARA integration supports hosts like Logic Pro, Cubase, and Studio One. By correctly wiring the ARA document controller, the plugin communicates seamlessly with these hosts for advanced audio editing.

Why does my ARA factory fail ABI compliance checks during plugin testing?▼

ARA factory ABI compliance checks fail when the implementation does not meet ARA 2.x interface requirements or host-specific threading contracts. Running automated validation verifies the factory is correctly wired.
