CLAP was started to overcome technical and legal limitations of the VST plug-in format [citation needed]. 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 11 DAWs[7] and 64 plugin producers[8][9] who have produced 303 CLAP plugins.[10]
