This is the synthesizer plug-in Surge which I previously sold as a commercial product as the company [vember audio](http://vemberaudio.se).

As I'm too busy with [other](http://bitwig.com) projects and no longer want to put the effort into maintaining it myself across multiple platforms I have decided to give it new life as an open-source project.
As I (@kurasu / Claes Johanson) am too busy with [other](http://bitwig.com) projects and no longer want to put the effort into maintaining it myself across multiple platforms I have decided to give it new life as an open-source project.

It was originally released in 2005, and was one of my first bigger projects. The code could be cleaner, and at parts better explained but its reliable and sounds great. And beware, there might still be a few comments in Swedish.

After the build runs, be it successful or not, you can now launch Xcode and open the `Surge` folder. Let Xcode do it's own indexing / processing, which takes a while.

The `surge-vst3 project` will now warn you to `Validate Project Settings`, meaning, more precisely, to `Update to recommended settings`. By clicking on `Update to recommended settings`, a dialog will open and you'll be prompted to `Perform Changes`. Perform the changes.

The `surge-au project` will also prompt to `Update to recommended settings` & `Perform Changes`, so, perform the changes.

At this point you can build an audio unit which links and passes validation, and you can build a VST which links but honestly we aren't sure
if it works. Help from someone who uses VST would be appreciated here!

To try the audio unit you will need to install and validate it. If you don't know how to disable and revalidate audio units, be
a bit cautious here. You can slightly mess things up. To make it easy there's a script which allows you to do this from the command line

This will update the build date, run a build, and if the build works, remove the version of surge in ~/Library/... and replace
it with the latest. It will then run auvaltool to make sure that the audio unit is properly installed (and so you should
see the build date and time on stderr in the auval output). Tips on how to develop
