No Code VST Development to Disrupt the Industry
In this tutorial we’ll talk more about advances in the world of no code VST development and how these advances open up new opportunities for non-technical creatives who want to develop their own virtual instruments and audio plugins.
Neo Moon Studios is a VST development agency that helps audio companies build software. We also run a no-code VST development course.
VST Development Now Open to Creatives With No Coding Experience
Today, I want to talk to you about the exciting advancements in the VST space, specifically how no code and low code tools have lowered the barriers to entry for non-technical creatives like you.
For those who don’t know, VSTs (Virtual Studio Technology) are software plugins that musicians and producers use to create and manipulate sounds in their digital audio workstations (DAWs). Traditionally, developing a VST required a solid understanding of programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript. However, this steep learning curve made it difficult for non-technical creatives to get into VST development.
Enter No Code VST Development Tools
Enter no code and low code tools. These tools have made it possible for non-technical creatives to develop VSTs without writing a single line of code. One such tool is HISE, an open-source program that we use in our no code VST development course at NeoMoon.
HISE allows users to take a low code or entirely no code approach to VST development. Within HISE, users have the ability to switch between the code editor (which requires some programming knowledge) and the node editor (which requires no programing knowledge). This means that even if you don’t have any coding experience, you can still create your own VSTs using HISE’s intuitive node-based interface.
Democratization of VST Development
But why is this important? Well, for one, it democratizes VST development. No longer is it the exclusive domain of technical people. With no code and low code tools, creative people can now develop their own VSTs, giving them more control over their sound and opening up new creative and business possibilities.
Moreover, no code and low code tools make VST development more accessible and less intimidating. As a No Code VST music teacher, I’ve seen firsthand how these tools have encouraged more people to get into VST development. By removing the need for coding, these tools have lowered the barriers to entry, making it easier for people to take the first step towards learning VST development. But don’t just take my word for it. According to a report by Gartner,
“by 2023, no-code application development will be responsible for more than 65% of application development activity.” This trend is not limited to VST development but is a broader movement towards democratizing software development.
At NeoMoon, we’ve seen this trend firsthand. Our No Code VST Development Course has helped many non-technical creatives develop their own VSTs without writing a single line of code. And our students have been thrilled with the results. One student, Sarah, had this to say about our course: “I never thought I could develop my own VSTs. I tried to get my head around C++ but just I just couldn’t figure it out. However, after enrolling in NeoMoon’s No Code VST Development Course, I was able to create (a V1) of my own virtual instrument in just over a week.”
In addition to our No Code VST Development Course, we also offer a course on designing beautiful VST interfaces using Photoshop and VST component animation technology. This course can be bundled with our No Code VST Development Course, providing our students with a comprehensive education in VST development.
Conclusion
No code and low code tools have lowered the barriers to entry for non-technical creatives in the VST space. By making VST development more accessible and less intimidating, these tools have opened up new creative possibilities for musicians and producers. At NeoMoon, we’re excited to be at the forefront of this movement, providing our students with the knowledge and skills they need to develop their own VSTs without writing a single line of code.
