yeah took a quick peek and was able to get a mac build working with cmake pretty quickly. don't want to crash your project but if you are interested please find me or evil dragon and we can help you get oriented into how we've done things for surge.

looks like the code needs a bit of investment too. things like juce modal loops and loads of deprecated api use. but nothing a couple of days of hacking can't get to.

I wonder if Cyforce could make a skin for it? :)

My step one advice would be move from projucer to cmake. It will make automated builds about 1000 times easier. Also in surge land we have loads of open source tools to make building synths in GitHub easy. Surge discord best place to reach me or tag me on GitHub
@baconpaul , I just reached out to you via a direct message on discord.

I am perfectly fine with anyone making a default skin for OB-xD-GREC. In fact, I really hate the fact that my own "Quick and Dirty Theme" is the current default skin. If someone is willing to create a skin for OB-xD GREC, I will include it into the github repository.

Unfortunately, I take a functionality over form approach when designing UI (I am a Linux User after all). Plus, I really have no graphic design/art skills.

Honestly, I kinda like the skin.

Looking forward to the release.

It's only skin deep....

Maybe in some free time in the next few days I'll take a look at the GitHub files and see what's possible. :wink:

Hi There Grec

Is there a vst version of this synth? I see that Vst3 is open source now, will you be able to recompile and release this with vst3 and clap?

GREC fork is stale now, it was combined with another fork and became OB-Xf, maintained by Surge Synth Team.
