DDMF Metaplugin – Plugin Chainer, Vst/Au/Rtas/Aax Wrapper.
Metaplugin is a powerful plugin wrapper and modular host byDDMF that allows you to load, route, and combine other plugins inside a single plugin instance. It works with VST, VST3, AU (macOS), and AAX formats, making it both a creative modular environment and a highly practical plugin format bridge.
At its core, Metaplugin lets you design custom effect chains, parallel routings, multiband processors, mid-side setups, or even complete instruments using plugins you already own.
