About:
Suil is a lightweight C library designed to load and wrap LV2 plugin user interfaces, enabling them to be used in different toolkits. It acts as a bridge, allowing a plugin UI written in one GUI toolkit (like GTK) to be hosted within an application using another toolkit (like Qt). This solves the compatibility problem between different UI frameworks in the LV2 audio plugin ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • Toolkit independence for LV2 plugin UIs
  • Simple C API for easy integration
  • Supports multiple UI types including GTK, Qt, and X11
  • Lightweight with minimal dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Integrating LV2 plugins into Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs)
  • Building custom audio hosts that need to display plugin UIs
  • Developing cross-toolkit LV2 plugin hosts
Alternatives:
  • LV2 Plugin Specification – Suil is a specific implementation for UI hosting, whereas the LV2 spec defines the overall standard.
