About

Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a flexible, powerful, server-side application for playing music. Through plugins and libraries, it can play a variety of sound files while being controlled by its network protocol. An experimental Android build is available on Google Play. After installing and launching it, MPD will scan the music in your music directory and you can control it as usual with an MPD client. Each plugin usually needs a codec library, which you also need to install. Check the plugin reference for details about the required libraries. Even though it does not “feel” like a Windows application, MPD works well under Windows. Its build process follows the “Linux style” and may seem awkward for Windows people (who are not used to compiling their software, anyway). Audio outputs are devices that actually play the audio chunks produced by MPD. You can configure any number of audio output devices, but there must be at least one.

About

Pook lets producers build their own audio effects and instruments and hear them live in their DAW, then ship them as signed VST3, AU and AAX plugins for macOS and Windows. The producer describes the sound, the controls and the look to a coding agent they already use. The agent writes the plugin. Pook is the host. It loads the source, runs the DSP and the interface, and reloads the moment anything changes, live in the DAW with no restart and no rescan. The source stays cleartext and belongs to the producer. Pook handles what every plugin needs: window sizing, delay compensation, session recall, DAW transport and tempo, and a signed build for every format. Pook Fx and Pook Instrument are $199 one-time each, Pook Studio (both) $299, with a 21-day free trial. Works with Claude Code, Codex (ChatGPT), Antigravity (Gemini) or any other AI subscription you already have. macOS 13+ and Windows 10 22H2+.
