1 Introduction

1.2. Installation

Requirements:

Win32 compatible system with SSE2 (or higher) instruction set support 

Tested and known to work in many VST compatible hosts

Put the DLL file contained in this archive in the VST plug-in folder of your host.

1.3. Overarching topics

Warning:

  Lower your listening volume while operating the plug-in  to avoid hearing 

damage or damage of speakers or any other equipment.

Note:

 The plug-in contains a dedicated on/off switch (labeled 'ON') which must be 

powered 

on

 to run the module. It's a true bypass when switched 

off

.

Usage tips:

Use the 'ON' switch to toggle the plug-in on/off for A/B comparisons 

Use <ctrl> + mouse left click on a knob or switch to restore default position

Use <shift> + mouse left click on a knob to fine adjust values

Use this  plug-in  as an insert effect in any (mono or stereo) channel of your 
VST host

Feed a separate audio signal into channel 3 and 4 of this plug-in to enable 
triggering the compressor by an external sidechain signal.

1.4. Credits

Thanks to Patrick Barca for contributing his out-standing UI artwork again!

Special thanks to “Andrew J” as well as to “Tor / www.audioteknikk.net” for sharing 
ideas, insights and DSP schematics!

And many thanks to all the beta testers of course.
