Glitchwave 567 — JUCE Circuit Simulation

A software simulation of the Glitchwave 567 guitar pedal (LM567 tone-decoder glitch pedal, schematic in glitchwave.png). Builds as a Standalone app, VST3, and (on macOS) AU — for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Vendor/manufacturer name in all builds: Illicit Apothecary.

Project plan status

• Step 1 (done): faithful sim of the stock schematic.
• Step 2 (this, v0.2): mods — LFO stack + envelope follower, 3 audio file players, sidechain/CV control of every knob. See docs/MODS.md for the full manual.
• Step 3 (later): PCB files for PCBWay.

v0.2 mods in one paragraph

LFO 1 (rate/depth/shape/target dropdown) wobbles any knob — its rate is bent by LFO 2 ("LFO modulated by another LFO"), and an envelope follower pushes FREQ with your playing dynamics (Env→Freq knob, bipolar). Three file players: PLAY toggles play/stop, Player 1 routes into the circuit like live input (with a Level knob), Players 2 and 3 are CV sources. CV 1 = Sidechain Left + Player 2; CV 2 = Sidechain Right + Player 3. Each CV bus has a target dropdown (any knob or the mod controls) plus mini Strength and Slew knobs — and CV 2 can also target CV 1's Strength and Slew. Knobs stay live; CV adds on top.

Downloads (Windows / Linux / macOS)

Every push to main builds all three platforms automatically via GitHub Actions (see .github/workflows/build.yml): VST3 + Standalone for Windows and Linux, and VST3 + Standalone + AU for macOS. Grab the zipped builds from the Actions tab on the repo, under the latest workflow run's Artifacts section. Pushing a version tag (e.g. v0.10.0) also publishes a GitHub Release with all three zips attached. macOS/Linux builds from CI are unsigned — on macOS you may need to right-click > Open (or clear the quarantine flag) the first time.

Building on Windows

1. Install Visual Studio 2022 Community (free) with the "Desktop development with C++" workload. That includes CMake — nothing else needed.
2. Double-click build.bat. First run downloads JUCE and takes a few minutes.
3. Outputs:
   • Standalone: build\Glitchwave567_artefacts\Release\Standalone\Glitchwave 567.exe
