More experiments: http://grimaceworks.com/mf/lab I got tired of using Windows to make music. So I had to get a Mac. But my favourite VST Plugin 'dblue glitch' does not work on the Mac. So I decided if I was going to get a Mac I'd learn how to program an effects unit to do the job that the ol' dblue used to do. A week of struggling later and here is how far I've got. I've gone deep into the dark world of C++, deep into weird things to do with how XCode works, encountered strange examples of how to do things, become enraged at the poor coding standards that the API seemed to be promoting, and eventually came up with a framework that allowed me to create a plugin that did things the way I want. The idea is you trigger the different effects using a MIDI controller. The parameter set is deliberately limited (though I have put in the ones that are most fun). This is to make it easy to wire up to a controller in Ableton Live. Note that this is very much a work in progress. The Cocoa UI won't work in Ableton (Logic, Garageband etc... only) but I will be making something nice and slick that does. There are still plenty of issues with this but I was just so excited I had to show you.
