Has anyone ever taken a an open source VST and translated the C++ code to gen~ codebox then ported it to Daisy? My dream is to take the SmartElectronix Dfx Vst Scrubby and make a Eurorack or pedal version of it. I feel like this might be a good project for hire for someone with better programming skills, like maybe a Fiverr freelancer or something.
Are you talking about this? destroyfx/scrubby at main · sophiapoirier/destroyfx · GitHub
I took a quick look at the code and it doesn’t look overly complicated. You could probably vibe code your way through it if you are persistant. Or even better you could come up with a simplified version of this and add features as needed (the VST looks like it has lots of parameters).
I’ve never heard of this plugin but it looks like ti scrubs through an audio buffer? You’ll need some way to verify that the Daisy is powerful enough to run it before you go through all this effort.
thanks for the reply. Im just bad with C++. May have found someone to help. It looks like I might be able to assign the params just by changing it to knob1_“param name in the code”, etc. I’m only going to be using 3 or 4 params anyway. I think daisy should be powerful enough to run this code, I think? I just gotta see how to load C++ code in there. I haven’t ever done it before, only loaded gen~ code. Also I think it does way more than simply scrub a buffer, I’ve made plenty of buffer scrubbers in max gen~ and it sounds a lot different
Also yes nopayne that is the plugin i’m talking about.
Also I’m wondering how I would modify the C++ code in the scrubby vst to assign parameters to the knobs in the Eurorack Daisy patch. Again i’m just bad with C++ so any help with this would be greatly appreciated
Definitely have tried to get some Airwindows code in but my time is limited with other interests taking precedence BUT… I’d love to adopt some kind of limited Daisy version of Airwindows Consolidated. I have no idea what I’m doing! It’s so much fun
Since you’re like me and have only an extremely limited grasp of C++ on the whole, sadly a code assistant is neccesary for me. I suppose I could take some c++ course for a few months/years but I’m old and have to fix the roof on my camper/trailer before winter comes. Also plow a field, write a string quartet, mix two albums, get seeds from the gardens, close the pool, sell like 20 pieces of music gear, fix the plumbing in the basement, and work on the code for this VST.
So… still gonna get to it some day!

Just make sure to remove the dithering as that would be quite wasteful.
