TugMoveEffect v.1.2.0

VST3 audio fx plugin that brings 2D positioning to audio effects processing.

NEWS: 1.2.0. 2D Effects Update - Major GUI & Audio Improvements

Here are the key changes since the last GUI overhaul:

• Fully Responsive & Resizable GUI
  Window now dynamically scales—fonts, controls, effect instances, and steps adjust proportionally. Minimum size: 670x670.
• New “Silent on Empty Step” Feature
  Sequencer “S” toggle mutes audio on empty steps—ideal for rhythmic gating and silence patterns.
  Sequencer Fixes:
  – Mirror mode now pauses at boundaries.
  – Backward mode starts correctly from the last step.
• Smooth Crossfades
  Silent steps now fade smoothly instead of cutting abruptly, preventing clicks/pops.
• Drag & Drop Inside Sequencer
  Easily reorder steps with visual drop-position feedback.
• Dark-Themed Popup Menus
  Context menus now match the plugin’s dark theme (no more white corners).
• Improved Effect List UI
  Better tooltips and visual consistency between Sequential and Periodics panels.
• Visual Polish
  Subtler muted borders, adjusted effect indicators, and version number moved below preset buttons.

NEWS: 1.2.0

• Added different waveforms for sinusoidal (changed to Periodic) movement (sine, triangle, square, sawtooth)
• Implemented sync/tempo feature - automatic movement based on note values
• Added phase control (horizontal & vertical) - waveform phase adjustment
• Phase difference implementation

NEWS: 1.1.0

• Added different waveforms for sinusoidal (changed to Periodic) movement (sine, triangle, square, sawtooth)
• Implemented sync/tempo feature - automatic movement based on note values
• Added phase control (horizontal & vertical) - waveform phase adjustment
• Phase difference implementation

Core Concept:
Place mulltiple effects instances on a 2D workspe and control their influence through distance-based mixing. A movable control point determines how much each effect contributes to the final sound based on its proximity.

1. Adding Effects:
   Drag & drop an effect from the right-side panel onto the black 2D workspace window.
2. Moving the Listener Point:
   • Move the orange listener point manually with your mouse inside the workspace.
   • Or choose movement modes: Sinusoidal or Bouncing for automatic motion.
3. Sequential Movement (Step-Sequencer Mode):
   • Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) + drag an effect from the workspace into one of the boxes in the Sequential section.
   • When your DAW playback is running, the listener point will move between these assigned effect positions in the sequence.
   • Sequence options: Forward, Backward, Mirror, Random.

Main Features:

• 13 Effect Types: Distortion, Reverb, Delay, Chorus/Flanger, Filter, Compressor, Pitch Shifter, Decimator, Phaser, Vibrato, Tremolo, Repeater, Ring Modulator, and related many parameters
• Up to 10 Effect Instances: 3 slots per effect type, each with independent parameters
• Spatial Mixing: Distance-based volume control via adjustable coverage areas
• Movement Automation: Manual, Sequential (step sequencer), Sinusoidal, or Bouncing control point motion
• 16-Step Sequencer: Automate effect switching and create rhythmic patterns
• Preset Management: Save/load configurations with custom folder support
• Real-time Visual Feedback: Volume meters, coverage visualization, and effect highlighting

Notable Effects:

• Repeater: Musical tone generation with MIDI note/octave control and triggering modes
• Pitch Shifter: Pitch manipulation for creative sound design
• Ring Modulator: Frequency modulation for metallic, bell-like, and experimental timbres
• Decimator: Bit-depth and sample-rate reduction for lo-fi, retro digital textures

Technical Details:

• Built with JUCE framework (C++17)
• VST3 format
• State-saving compatible with DAW projects

Suitable for sound design, creative mixing, and performance-based effect manipulation.
