Goals

• Create a basic JUCE project as a starting point to port to JUCE.
• Use cmake as the build system
• Use vcpkg to manage external dependencies (i.e. fftw)

Where is the source code?

Goals

• Port all sound processing code to the JUCE project
• Ensure processing is fully functional within the new framework

Goals

• Port UI to the JUCE project
• UI should be resizable to meet modern plugin expectations, possibly move to 100% vector based.

The Problem

This plugin uses the VST 2 SDK. From what I know the VST 2 SDK is proprietary and depreciated. That makes legally it impossible to share the full source code, which is required for GPLv3 compliance.

Possible Solutions

• Move the project to a different license like Apache 2 or the MIT license. Note: This requires to ask all contributors/copyright holders for permission first.
• Upgrade from VST 2 to VST 3. VST 3 offers a licensing option that is compliant with the GPLv3.

Id be willing to help out with the upgrade. However I haven't worked with VST as of yet, so I dont know how long it will take. Also due to the in-compliance the legal situation of making a fork is a bit unclear to me. Getting a confirmation of the copyright holders that this is OK for me to do would be nice.

The plugin depends on FFTW. It would be nice to be able to download, build and statically link this in a cross platform way. Vcpkg seems like a good option.
