- 1.0 EFECTS PROCESSOR PRO FEATURES
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- EPP is a shareware real-time audio effects processor for Win 95.
-
- EPP offers a flexible palette of high quality modulation effects (phaser, flanger and chorus) to enhance any audio material.
- A simple, accurate and customizable tool for your creativity.
-
- - effective real time; really low latency time.
- - no noise due to processing: all processing procedures and links between effects sections
- are made with 64 bit accuracy, this ensures truly clean and noiseless sound.
- - fully user controllable effects patch
- - three effects simultaneously.
- - many, carefully scaled, control parameters.
- - full 32 bit application
-
- And all at a little fraction of a commercial program cost!
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2.0 INSTALLATION
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- EPP requires a Pentium processor and a video board with at least 256 colors capabilities (optimal setup >=65536 colors).
-
- To install EPP you have to:
-
- - create a proper folder on your hard disk
- - unzip "epp10.zip" (the zipped file you have found on the net) into that folder
- - create a short cut to "epp10.exe"
-
- To know how to configure EPP for maximum performance, please, look in the "Installation & configuration" section of EPP
- help file.
-
- EPP offers effective real time (low latency time).
-
- Perhaps it might be useful to show you, as an example, the latency values we use on our machines:
-
- Pentium 133 Mhz RAM 24MB
- Hard Disk EIDE 1.7Gb
- SB 16 value PnP
- LATENCY=130 ms
-
- Pentium 133 Mhz RAM 16MB & 32MB
- Hard Disk EIDE 2.1Gb
- Turtle Beach Pinnacle
- LATENCY=38 ms
-

- 3.0 EFFECTS OVERVIEW
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Flanger
-
- Flanging is an effect produced by mixing a signal with a delayed time-varied copy of itself.
- This generates a typical "whooshing" sound.
- EPP flanger program produces stereo flanging with two flanges that move in a user definable relationship with each other.
-
- Parameters
- delay: affects flanging timbre.
- depth: regulates the modulation depth.
- rate: regulates the speed of the modulation.
- feedback: controls signal recirculation. It creates a sharper timbre.
- degree: allows stereo enhancing of an incoming audio signal.
- mix: controls the unprocessed/processed signal ratio.
-
- This flanger works also as a stereo comb-filter, and it can be useful to produce interesting effects.
-
-
- Phaser
-
- EPP phaser program produces stereo phasing. This effect, popular in the '70s, creates a sound similar to a Flanger,
- but less metallic.
-
- Parameters
- Frequency: affects phasing timbre
- depth: regulates the modulation depth.
- rate: regulates the speed of the modulation.
- feedback: controls signal recirculation. It creates a sharper timbre
- degree: allows stereo enhancing of an incoming audio signal
- mix: controls the unprocessed/processed signal ratio
-
- This phaser works also as a stereo allpass-filter (plus unprocessed signal added).
- This creates a sophisticated notch filtering action.
-
-
- Chorus
-
- Chorus is an effect that creates the impression that a given part is being played by more musicians together.
- It is used often to sweeten and widen the sound of an instrument.
- As for a flanger, it is produced by mixing the incoming audio signal with a delayed time-varied copy of itself.
- Unlike flanging, the chorus delay is wider (>8ms).
-
- EPP chorus program is a four voice chorus (two stereo pairs).
-
-
- Parameters
- delay: affects chorus timbre and dimension.
- depth: regulates the modulation depth.
- rate: regulates the speed of the modulationMOD.
- feedback: controls signal recirculation creating a sharper timbre, and a "small reverb" sensation.
- degree: allows stereo enhancing of an incoming audio signal.
- mix: controls the unprocessed/processed signal ratio.
-
-
- You can use this effect also as a static spatial enhancer.

- 4.0 OTHER ANWIDA SOFT PRODUCTS & PROJECTS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ANWIDA Soft has been working in digital audio software since 1995.
-
- We have developed Parametric Equalizer Pro a professional real-time parametric equalizer
- that lets you shape the timbre of a sound by boosting or attenuating its frequency components.
- The high quality and flexibility of the program's filter bank, together with its intuitive user
- interface, enable you to make subtle or radical changes to your audio material.
-
- Look for the most updated release and download it from our WWW site: http://www.anwida.com
-
-
- Our future goals include:
-
- - develop a real-time high quality mixing console (this is the natural extension of Parametric Equalizer Pro)
- - develop a real-time high quality graphic equalizer
- - develop a real-time high quality multitap delay processor
- - develop a real-time high quality dynamic processor
- - develop a real-time high quality reverb
-
-
- Here is an extract from a letter to a customer. We think that it should clarify our intentions:
-
- "....In the same time we are working at release 2.1 of ParEq.
-
- It'll contain the following main improvements:
- - presets support
- - loop function
- - forward rewind buttons
- - more accuracy in Vu meters (Log. scaling)
-
- .....Probably release 3.0 will be rewritten in C++ with the new user interface used for Epp.
-
- We think that the next main problem we'll face (after we solved real-time processing [ParEq20], and custom controls
- developing [knobs, sliders, display...of Epp10]) will be ActiveMovie architecture.
- When we manage this, many new possibilities will be open to us. The main idea we are aiming at, is to build an integrated
- intuitive digital audio studio using PC. This is what we meant with "develop a real-time high quality mixing console".
- Now we are building separated blocks [that will be able to function also as standalone modules or as third parties plug-ins].
- In the future, we hope to put them together (so all the projects mentioned as graphic equalizer, reverb, dynamic processor
- etc. will be delivered........"
