Crypt is a software synthesiser plugin designed for creating spacious cold hyper-unisoned synth sounds; developed by Vitling for the Bow Church project.

It is written in C++20 and depends on the JUCE framework, which is included as a submodule.

I have now finally joined the Apple Developer Program, so I am pleased to be able to offer proper installers and notarized binaries for Mac

However, the Apple Developer Program still costs money, even for an open source developer. I suggest you write to Apple and lawmakers in your jurisdiction and complain about their anti-competitive practices.

If you use the Mac version, please consider donating some money to me to offset the cost I have incurred to make this possible.

Windows builds are also built by the GitHub Actions CD system, but I do not have a Windows computer available to verify that they work as expected. If you're a Windows user, please let me know how your experience is and whether it works or not.

You can download whatever binaries that JUCE produces during the make process from the Release Page and copy them into your VST3 plugin folder

Building on Linux should be fairly straightforward, but I had some slightly confusing linker errors when I tried. Let me know if you manage to get it to work.

cmake g++ libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libxinerama-dev libxrandr-dev libxcursor-dev mesa-common-dev libasound2-dev freeglut3-dev libxcomposite-dev pkg-config

These are Debian/Ubuntu package names (install with sudo apt-get install and paste the above), you may need to translate for your distro

git clone --recursive --shallow-submodules https://github.com/vitling/crypt.git
cd crypt
cmake -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build --parallel
