Compressor VST Plugin (for PC) V1.00
Tempo Delay VST Plugin (for PC) V1.01
Sweep Delay VST Plugin (for PC) V1.01
Tremelo VST Plugin (for PC) V1.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New in this version (V3.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o New Compressor plugin added. Details below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New in V2.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o New Tremelo plugin added. Details below.
o All plugins now accept program names up to 35 characters long
o Pentium lockup problem solved in Sweep & Tempo Delay. (A known problem
which could cause the processor load to increase significantly when
crunching small numbers, making it appear as though VST has locked up)
o Improved resolution of auto-pan frequency in Sweep Delay.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note for existing V2.00 users
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tremelo, Tempo Delay & Sweep Delay in this release are identical to
V2.00. Any program banks saved from V1.00 or V2.00 of the plugins will
still work with this release.
Please also note the revised license and disclaimer at the end of this file.

User notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compressor:
Load the example effects bank provided for some starting points. (If you
have not used a compressor/limiter before, I would first suggest a quick
search on the Web for one of the many good articles out there on the use
of compression. A compressor properly used will give your music a polished
professional feel: but use too much compression and it will squeeze the
life out of your mix)
This compressor features the "standard" controls as found on most
compressors: threshold, compress ratio, attack/decay times and output
level. It is a hard-knee compressor using peak level detection when
attack=0 mS, and RMS level detection for any non-zero attack time.
Note: with extreme settings (short attack & delay times combined with low
threshold and high compression) the compressor may sound like it is
distorting. This is NOT a fault, but rather a characteristic of software
compressors, which can react to input signals far quicker than hardware
compression. Simply increase the attack/delay time, raise the threshold or
lower the compression ratio until you get the desired effect.
Tempo & Sweep Delay:
Load the example effects banks & change the "Tempo" parameter to match
your song tempo. Start by running a simple audio riff through the
effects to see how the PlugIns work : a simple 4/4 drum loop is best
to start with. Fiddle with the parameters, experiment and have fun.
Tremelo:
Load the example effects bank supplied for some ideas. You will get best
results with Pre-fade switched ON and the channel volume fader turned down
(so you can only hear the effect output).
If you don't want to use Pre-fade, the Tremelo output can still be
boosted to +6dB louder than the input signal. This means that even with
Pre-fade OFF, you can still balance your mix so you can hear the tremelo
effect over the original signal. If the effect distorts, simply back off on
your levels a little.
Try using slow (less than 0.5Hz) tremelo and pan frequencies to get some
interesting random auto-panning effects.
General:
Some users have commented that it is difficult to accurately set a value
using the VST effects dial. The technique is as follows: click on the dial,
then move the pointer further away from the dial (while holding down the
button). The further away from the dial the pointer is, the more accurate
the control.

Specifications
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tempo Delay
===========
Essentially a straight replacement for the standard VST Stereo Echo,
but with tempo based editing. Instead of specifying delay in mS,
dimply dial in your song tempo and measure (eg 1/4 beat). The plugin
works out the delay time for you.
Two independent delay channels with programmable pan, feedback, delay
(in measures) and level.
2 second max delay time (per channel) @ 44.1kHz sample rate (or 1.83
seconds @ 48kHz).
Consumes same processor load as standard VST Stereo Echo (as benchmarked
on my Pentium 200MMX)
Sweep Delay
===========
Single channel delay (using tempo based editing as above) with
programmable auto-panning of the delay channel.
Can also be used as a simple single-channel echo with programmable pan
position (set "mod width" = 0)
Auto-panning range 0.01 - 20.0 Hz.
4 second max delay time @ 44.1kHz sample rate (or 3.66 seconds @ 48kHz).
Consumes less processor load than the standard VST Stereo Echo (as
benchmarked on my Pentium 200MMX)
Tremelo
=======
Combined Tremelo and Auto-panner multi-effect.
Two independent modulators for tremelo & pan.
Choose from sine/square/triangle/saw modulator waveforms.
Square & saw waveforms are slightly "rounded off at the edges", providing
a more musical waveform (no nasty clicks).
