Requirements:

  mandatory,

  - Qt framework [7], C++ class library and tools for
    cross-platform application and UI development

    Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions
    http://www.fftw.org/

  - librubberband [10], Rubber Band Audio Time Stretcher,
    an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting library
    https://breakfastquay.com/rubberband/

  - liblo [11], Lightweight OSC implementation
    (needed for NSM support [3])
    http://liblo.sourceforge.net/

Installation:

  - unpack tarball as usual; in the extracted source directory:

    cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<prefix>] -B build
    cmake --build build [--parallel <Njobs>]

  - optionally, as root:
