The plug-in software development kit (SDK) allows C++ developers to add customized functionality to GoldWave, such as support for new/proprietary file formats, new effects, and new visuals.

It does not provide a program interface to access GoldWave's existing functionality. It cannot be used to control batch processing, recording or playback through another program, for example. It is for creating new plug-ins for GoldWave.

The SDK includes detailed information about the following plug-in interfaces:

• File Format Plug-ins - Convert files to and from GoldWave's internal format.
• Visual Plug-ins - Display audio data or time and status information.
• Effect Plug-ins - Process and modify audio. They are listed under the Effect | Plug-in submenu.

There are no royalties or fees and plug-ins can be distributed as open or closed source, free or for profit.
