CLever Audio Plug-in or CLAP is an open source software architecture, application programming interface and reference implementation suite for audio effects plugins in digital audio workstations. The specification and reference implementation was released in 2022 by u-he and Bitwig.[1][2][3][4][5]

CLAP was started to overcome technical and legal limitations of the VST plug-in format. CLAP was designed for non-destructive parameter automation, multi-voice envelopes, true MIDI 2.0 support, better multi-core CPU performance[6] and greater ease writing plugins in a non-proprietary licensing framework under the MIT License. CLAP is supported by 10 DAWs[7] and 64 plugin producers[8][9] who have produced 303 CLAP plugins.[10]
