NEW WAVE KNOB

================================================================================ A stylish, native Linux-first VST3 audio plugin featuring a dynamic, neon-infused interface. Built using C++ and the JUCE framework.

NATIVE LINUX SUPPORT

Unlike many audio plugins, New Wave Knob is developed and compiled natively on Linux.

• Tested on: Linux Mint
• DAW Compatibility: Fully tested and stable in Bitwig Studio

FEATURES

• Dynamic GUI: Background shifts from charcoal to purple based on knob value.
• Neon Aesthetic: Interface inspired by New Wave colors (Cyan & Hot Pink).
• Lightweight: Minimal CPU footprint for smooth performance.

INSTALLATION

Since this is a native Linux VST3, it comes as a directory.

1. Download or build the 'NewWaveKnob.vst3' folder.

2. Copy it to your VST3 path. You can use these commands:

   mkdir -p ~/.vst3 cp -r NewWaveKnob.vst3 ~/.vst3/

3. Rescan for plugins in your DAW.

DEVELOPMENT & BUILDING

To build from source, ensure you have the standard JUCE dependencies (freetype, alsa, etc.) installed.

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/jorgensja/newwavepedal.git

2. Navigate to the build folder: cd newwavepedal/Builds/LinuxMakefile

3. Build the optimized release version: CONFIG=Release make -j4
