skoomaFilter

Surge XT's LP K35 with 5 selectable saturation modes, Cutoff and Resonance knobs. Input/Output gain with dB-keyed peak meters. Mono/Stereo input. Dark and light themes.

Part of a series of small, minimal VST3 plugins:

• skoomaNAM (NAM/IR loader)
• skoomaTuner (tuner)
• skoomaLoud (loudness meter)
• skoomaImage (stereo image)
• skoomaRoute (stereo routing)
• skoomaDust (lo-fi colour)

Install

Download the VST3 for your platform from the Releases page.

• Linux: Extract the .zip and copy skoomaFilter.vst3 to ~/.vst3/ or /usr/lib/vst3/.
• Windows: Extract the .zip and copy skoomaFilter.vst3 to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\.
• macOS: Open the .dmg, drag skoomaFilter.vst3 into the VST3 Plug-Ins folder, then run xattr -cr ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/skoomaFilter.vst3 in Terminal. This is needed because the plugin is unsigned (we don't want to pay $99/year for a free plugin).

Alternatively, you can build from source

CMake 3.22+, C++20 compiler. All dependencies (JUCE, sst-filters, sst-basic-blocks, simde) are fetched automatically.

cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j$(nproc)

Copy build/SkoomaFilter_artefacts/Release/VST3/skoomaFilter.vst3/ to your VST3 folder.
