Pre-built installers

If you want a pre-built installer from this repo without having to , I've made "Gateway", a fork of this repo, availble at https://neuralampmodeler.com/users!

Supported Platforms

The Neural Amp Modeler plugin currently supports Windows 10 (64bit) or later, and macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later.

For Linux support, there is an LV2 plugin available: https://github.com/mikeoliphant/neural-amp-modeler-lv2.

About

This is a cleaned up version of the original iPlug2-based NAM plugin with some refactoring to adopt better practices recommended by the developers of iPlug2. (Thanks Oli for your generous suggestions!)

*could also support AAX, CLAP, Linux, iOS soon.

Rough edges

Standalone I/O

The I/O for the standalone doesn't inherit the stability of most plugin hosts (DAWs), so it's a bit sparser on features. For complex routing, the plugin (VST3/AU) inside a plugin host is still the most reliable option.

Graphics backend

If you're having trouble with NAM crashing before the GUI comes up, then you might have an unsupported graphics configuration. Usually, this is when you have a dedicated graphics card (like an nVIDIA GPU) and you're using the integrated (CPU) graphics on a Windows system. To fix this, Go to the control panel, pick NAM (or your DAW), and make sure that it uses your graphics card. (If you know more and can help fix this, please make an Issue and let me know more!)
