SpectrumWorx is now open-source

[218]

Oh wow, if someone could get this working there would be a LOT of happy fourier-fans ready to mangle and screw their sounds beyond intelligibility. Thank you, Danijel, from the users of the future! That is, assuming, something can be compiled from the github

Open-sourced on my birthday as well, what a gift! Luckily my version does still work on my clunky old system, but I really do hope it can revived and enhanced.

@CinningBao , congratz I bet you spent your B-day making a new awesome Thump One preset pack

Hehe, how about presets for <something new>!

My alarm bells are ringing with the mention of third party software ^^

I think, this is just about the libraries being used within the project - like this stuff:

https://github.com/LittleEndianLtd/Spec ... /3rd_party

Some math thing, some cryptography thing (I guess), some xml thing and JUCE. So this is nothing to be worried about, I think.

I hope someone will figure out how to compile a working version of this! I think the last released x64 version still had problems with some DAW's. Still a great tool though.

Last release for windows crashed pretty regularly for me on the last system I had it on (win7 64 Intel 3930k). I had it kinda stable running it inside blue cat patchwork (which also gave me simple vst3 side chaining). I really liked the "pitch magnet" for sound design stuff. It was wonderful on distorted drums. The onboard modulation was spectacular. I always wanted Spec Ops to be just a bit more hardcore so that it could cover most of the bases that Spectrumworx covers. I suppose I'll install it on my current machine and see how it goes.

Is it "free to use" in it's current open source state? Open activation of the last release etc? Someone could make a really cool spectral sampler or fft based wave table synth using these algorithms for sure if they want to dig into the source code.

still keeping my fingers crossed with a shameless bump

That's great news. I had bought a copy and really liked it. I may even still have it in a pile of HDDs, would be stoked to see it updated.

Hello everyone,
I've open-sourced SpectrumWorx.
https://github.com/LittleEndianLtd/SpectrumWorx

Hopefully the community will make it shine once again.

I have an old demo of Spectrumworx 2.9.4.
Is there a way to Authorize it now?

Wow. Been at least a decade, but I still have v2.1.0 installed on a couple of machines that are stashed somewhere. Used it a lot, but recall it was pretty unstable/glitchy, and eventually lost interest in it. Had Delaydots before that, which LittleEndianLtd acquired. Neat if it makes a comeback.

Anybody made a build since this got turned into an open source plugin? I still have the old version installed. I gave it a fiddle not long ago just for fun. It still crashes pretty much at random.

Sadly we're still waiting.

Compiling the source code shouldn't be that tricky, but I already have the last official release, so I'm guess that's all I'd get if I compile the source. It's always a little more of a pain in the ass than I want it to be to compile code.... Oh well.

[CrystalWizard]

Bummer that no one has taken on this project. i don't have the skill. Such a great piece of software.

[tlkmx]

Yeah i've watched the repo and it's too big for me to try anything lol.. I hope someones picks it up

Just bumping this in case a bored vibecoder out there wants to get this working again

[Tiles]

Just ask Claude. This vibe coder could be you

The windows version of spectrumworx runs without any problems on my Win 10 setup. Spectral mangling is one of my fave forms of mangling sound and this plug is just pure bliss in that regard
