MegaDirt is a dirty (hence the name MegaDirt) cheap implementation of [SuperDirt](https://github.com/musikinformatik/SuperDirt)

for [TidalCycles](https://tidalcycles.org/) or [Sardine](https://github.com/Bubobubobubobubo/sardine).

It is not meant to replace SuperDirt but offer an alternative to "Live Coding" environment users that wants to use a simple

solution to trigger midi notes / simply trigger samples from a DAW.

* MegaDirt is a proof of concept, use at your own risk. It was built to see how fast can SuperDirt be reimplemented in

C++ with JUCE to be used as a plugin. It expects to use the [Dirt-Sample](https://github.com/tidalcycles/Dirt-Samples)

downloaded from SuperDirt quark directory.

### MegaDirt might have those advantages over SuperDirt on Supercollider

* Easier installation. MegaDirt can also be run as a standalone application (great for development)

* Easier audio routing from DAW (orbits are plugin buses) and use DAW audio plugins

* Easier midi routing from DAW and use DAW midi plugins (TidalCycles)

## Things to know

* Orbits are output buses of the plugin.

* DAW are picky about absolute time, feel free to set the schedule offset based on the audio interface and plugin chain for accurate timing.

### What is implemented from SuperDirt

- [x] osc msg midichan / s "midi" - send midi event from DAW

- [x] osc msg gain - sample gain

- [x] osc msg begin/end - sample begin/end to use for slices

- [x] osc msg legato - event length based on event window

- [x] osc msg sustain - event absolute time

- [x] osc msg pan - sample pan

- [x] osc msg ccn / ccv - midi controller change

- [x] osc msg orbit - sample output bus

- [x] osc msg speed - sample speed

- [x] osc msg loop - loop the sample within window playback

- [x] Lazy loading of sampling files based on dirt folder

- [x] Configurable sample path

- [x] Character (a5, c, a#, gb) note names

- [x] Multichannel orbit support (based on plugin bus)

- [x] Support loop units ('r' and 'c')

- [x] Sync DAW playhead with tidal cycles

- [X] Windows Dirt sample directory

- [ ] Implement control buses (plug to Tidal)

### Known Issues

- [ ] Find why renoise only render plugin when the window is open

- [ ] Envelop issues on small samples

### SuperDirt effects

Basic SuperDirt effects are now supported.

- [x] Reverb - # room # size

- [x] Filters - # cutoff # hcutoff # bandf (and the resonance counterpart) #djf

- [x] Delay - #delay #delayt #delayfb

- [x] Crush - #crush

- [ ] Phaser - #phasr #phasdp

### Bulding

Building MegaDirt should be straight forward. The building process is supposed to put the VST3 directory into the standard location.

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/asb2m10/MegaDirt.git

    cd MegaDirt

    mkdir build

    cd build

    cmake ..       # add `-G Xcode` if you want to use Apple Xcode and build it afterwards

    make
