What are the products required to generate a VST plugin with a deep neural network in Audio Toolbox?

I am designing a VST plugin to process audio using the Audio Toolbox, and I am intending to include a neural network in this plugin. Does including the neural network imply that extra toolboxes are required for generating the audio plugin?

To generate the code for a VST plugin with a neural network, either MATLAB Coder or the MATLAB Coder Interface for Deep Learning can be used in conjunction with the Audio Toolbox.

The MATLAB Coder Interface for Deep Learning is a support package that is free and does not require MATLAB Coder to run. It can be downloaded from this link:

Note that generating VST plugins requires the Microsoft Visual C++ product family, as shown on the page below:

Thus, MinGW cannot be used. Please select the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler using the following commands:

>> mex -setup C++

and

>> mex -setup C

So to summarize, in terms of licensing the requirements are as follows:

• Audio Toolbox (and its dependencies)
• Deep Learning Toolbox
