Minimal Instruments Updates nagi Plugin Builder to v0.15.7

Minimal Instruments has updated nagi plugin builder to version 0.15.7. The new version strengthens the licence protection for plugins you sell, and makes MIDI drag-out, the core feature for MIDI-generating plugins, work on every operating system.

Highlights

  • AU format can now be generated. nagi now builds AU plugins properly.
  • Stronger licence protection for plugins you sell.
  • The Form / License widget (a Pro feature), which limits a plugin to its buyers, gains a new activation method based on Ed25519 digital signatures. A ready-made activation server is available too: “nagi License Server (Google Apps Script edition) “, which keeps the buyer ledger in a Google spreadsheet.

MIDI drag-out on every OS

The MIDI Out widget lets you drag the chords or phrases a plugin generates onto a DAW track as a MIDI file. It is the key feature for “MIDI-making” plugins such as chord-progression generators and arpeggiators, but until now it only worked in Windows plugins. The 0.15 series adds Linux and macOS, so it now works on all three.

Other improvements:

  • The LP / HP / BP / NT buttons on the Filter widget now switch the actual filter type, not just the curve on screen.
  • A Text widget showing a value now honours a setting of 0 decimal places.
  • On Linux, restyled select boxes no longer appear blank, and their option lists now open.
  • On Linux machines whose CPU lacks AVX2, the window no longer turns blank white.
  • Updates are free and installed from My Page in the app. The Form / License widget and the MCP server are Pro features.
