VCV Plugin Maker

IMPORTANT:

Geco is a work on progress, some blocks are obsolete:

• wavetable (use too much CPU, don't work on mac), the wave table object will be completly change to offer antialiasing and use
  "waveedit" files http://synthtech.com/waveedit/.
• stringMux, stringLeft and stringPack are not tested for V1.0 yet and has to be modified to use less CPU.
• Geco can only create plugins code for rack V1.x
• Currently Geco do not generate the manifest so you have to write it manually.
• The "block creator" mentioned in the manual is available on this repository https://github.com/HoRaMusic/GecoBlockCreator

BUILD:

• Add these files into a folder named "qnodeseditor"

• Add the Geco folder to your documents location (win : "C:/Users//Documents" | mac : "~/Documents")
