Installation

GO GET

Install voicemeeter-api-go package from your console to download the latest version.

go get github.com/onyx-and-iris/voicemeeter-api-go

or add it to your go.mod file.

Use

main.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/onyx-and-iris/voicemeeter-api-go"
)

func main() {
	vm, err := voicemeeter.NewRemote("banana", 15)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	err = vm.Login()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer vm.Logout()

	vm.Strip[0].SetLabel("rode podmic")
	vm.Strip[0].SetMute(true)
	fmt.Printf("Strip 0 (%s) mute was set to %v\n", vm.Strip[0].GetLabel(), vm.Strip[0].GetMute())
}

voicemeeter.NewRemote(<kindId>, <delay>)

kindId

Pass the kind of Voicemeeter as an argument. kindId may be:

• basic
• banana
• potato

delay

Pass a delay in milliseconds to force the getters to wait for dirty parameters to clear.

Useful if not running callbacks.

Remote Type

vm.Strip

[]t_strip slice containing both physicalStrip and virtualStrip types

vm.Bus

[]t_bus slice containing both physicalBus and virtualBus types

vm.Button

[]button slice containing button types, one for each macrobutton

vm.Command

pointer to command type, represents action type functions

vm.Vban

pointer to vban type, containing both vbanInStream and vbanOutStream slices

vm.Device

pointer to device type, represents physical input/output hardware devices

vm.Recorder

pointer to recorder type, represents the recorder

vm.Midi

pointer to midi type, represents a connected midi device

vm.Type()

returns the type of Voicemeeter as a string

vm.Version()

returns the version of Voicemeeter as a string

vm.GetFloat(<param>)

gets a float parameter value

vm.SetFloat(<param>, <value>)

sets a float parameter value eg. vm.SetFloat("strip[0].mute", 1)

vm.GetString(<param>)

gets a string parameter value

vm.SetString(<param>, <value>)

sets a string parameter value eg. vm.SetString("strip[0].label", "podmic")

vm.SendText(<script>)

sets many parameters in script format eg. ("Strip[0].Mute=1;Bus[3].Gain=3.6")

vm.Register(o observer)

register an object as an observer

vm.Deregister(o observer)

deregister an object as an observer

vm.EventAdd(<event>)

adds an event to the pooler eg. vm.EventAdd("ldirty")

vm.EventRemove(<event>)

removes an event to the pooler eg. vm.EventRemove("pdirty")

vm.Pdirty()

returns True iff a GUI parameter has changed

vm.Mdirty()

returns True iff a macrobutton parameter has changed

vm.Sync()

Use this to force dirty parameters to clear after a delay in milliseconds.
