# Diopser
|
|
|
|
You were expecting Disperser[¹](#disperser), but it was me, Diopser!
|
|
|
|
Diopser lets you rotate the phase of a signal around a specific frequency
|
|
without affecting its spectral content. This effect can be used to emphasize
|
|
transients and other parts of a sound that in a way that isn't possible with
|
|
regular equalizers or dynamics processors, especially when applied to low
|
|
pitched or wide band sounds. More extreme settings will make everything sound
|
|
like a cartoon laser beam, or a psytrance kickdrum. If you are experimenting
|
|
with those kinds of settings, then you may want to consider temporarily placing
|
|
a peak limiter after the plugin in case loud resonances start building up.
|
|
|
|
This is a port from https://github.com/robbert-vdh/diopser with more features
|
|
and much better performance.

## Download
|
|
|
|
You can download the development binaries for Linux, Windows and macOS from the
|
|
[automated
|
|
builds](https://github.com/robbert-vdh/nih-plug/actions/workflows/test.yml?query=branch%3Amaster)
|
|
page. If you're not signed in on GitHub, then you can also find the last nightly
|
|
build [here](https://nightly.link/robbert-vdh/nih-plug/workflows/test/master).
|
|
|
|
The macOS version has not been tested and may not work correctly. You may also
|
|
have to [disable Gatekeeper](https://disable-gatekeeper.github.io/) to use the
|
|
VST3 version as Apple has recently made it more difficult to run unsigned code
|
|
on macOS.
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
After installing [Rust](https://rustup.rs/) with the nightly toolchain you can
|
|
compile Diopser as follows
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo +nightly xtask bundle gain --release --bundle-vst3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you don't have access to a nightly compiler (`rustup default nightly && rustup update`),
|
|
then you can compile a version without SIMD at a 2x penalty by disabling the
|
|
SIMD feature:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo xtask bundle gain --release --bundle-vst3 --no-default-features
|
|
```
