Expand description

A standalone plugin target that directly connects to the system’s audio and MIDI ports instead of relying on a plugin host. This is mostly useful for quickly testing GUI changes.

  • The same as nih_export_standalone(), but with the arguments taken from an iterator instead of using std::env::args().
