It's SuperCollider, but directly in your DAW. It's a scsynth server sandboxed directly into the plugin. SoundIn.ar takes the direct input of the plugin on your track, and Out.ar sends it back out to the track. The same is true for MIDI, you can create your own custom instrument tracks, with built-in MPE support.
It's currently only a CLAP plugin, but I will probably also add a VST3 version eventually for DAWs without CLAP support (ableton, cubase, etc). CLAP has much better MPE support and it's easier to define dynamic parameters for stuff like In.kr.
This is a very early BETA version, there's probably gonna be bugs, jank, and random issues specific to different DAWs. I have not tested mac OS, I don't have a mac and I have no idea if it works, I just let github compile it for me. I have been developing it for linux first, and I did some minimal testing on the windows version, only in Bitwig and Reaper. If something goes wrong, please open an issue.
