Why WET VST?

A different approach to plugin development

Fully Open Source

Most free plugins are closed-source binaries. WET plugins give you the complete source code under a permissive license. Learn, modify, contribute.

Pure VST3 SDK

Built directly on the official Steinberg VST3 SDK. No JUCE, no third-party frameworks. Clean, minimal, and easy to understand.

Complete Documentation

Every plugin includes full build instructions using only free tools: Visual Studio Build Tools, CMake, and Git. No paid licenses needed.

Cross-Platform

One binary for all platforms. Windows, Linux, and macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) supported from day one. Universal VST3 from a single build.

Support Development

WET plugins are free forever. If they help your music, consider buying me a coffee to support continued development.
