In computer music and professional audio creation, a DirectX plugin is a software processing component that can be loaded as a plugin into host applications to allow real-time processing, audio effects, mixing audio or act as virtual synthesizers. Programmability DirectX plugins can be developed in C++ using Microsoft's DirectX SDK, Sony's Audio Plug-In Development Kit or Cakewalk's DirectX Wizard. There is also a Delphi SDK available. DirectX plugin hosts * ACID Pro (version 3.0 or later) * Adobe Audition (Formerly Cool Edit 2000 and Cool Edit Pro 1.0, 2.0) * Cakewalk Sonar (version 2.0 or later) * MAGIX Samplitude * REAPER * Sony Vegas * Sound Forge * Steinberg Wavelab * Steinberg Nuendo * Steinberg Cubase * OpenMPT Future DirectX plugins are superseded by DMO-based signal processing filters and more recently, by Media Foundation Transforms.
