*** For VST Hosts ***
****************************************************************
>>> INSTALL
To install this plug-in program, place the file 4ormulator.dll
into your VST plug-ins directory.
>>> OPERATION
When the plug-in is loaded by your host, the main window for the
plug-in will open with several controls. Use the slider controls
to adjust:
VOLUME - Mix volume
WET - Effect volume
DRY - Dry volume
PITCH - Transpose the frequency of the effects
FINE - Fine tune transpose frequency
GLIDE - Glide time for frequency changes
Use the round selector control to select one of the 32 different
effects.
>>> USAGE INFO
This is a highly reactive transform. The spectral content
of your source signal(s) will usually determine what will occur.
Special consideration is required to use the GLIDE control.
The GLIDE control has a very wide range. When it is turned
up to maximum the glide rate is very very slow. When it is
set about midway, the glide rade is about one second. When
switching between the 32 different effects (or when adjusting
the PITCH controls), the GLIDE control will cause the
frequencies to glide (portamento) between different effect
settings.
Clicks and Pops: When switching between the 32 effects, there
may be a click or pop. This is determined by the various modes
each effect can have such as the SOURCE selection buttons.
When switching between effects that have different mode
settings, a glitch may occur. When switching between effects
that have similar or identical mode settings, a glitch will not
occur. The GLIDE control works best in the latter case. With
careful usage, clicks and pops can be avoided.
Use the red indicator in the upper left corner of the window
to determine if the signal is overloading or clipping.

>>> SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS & PLUG-IN SPECIFICATIONS
500 MHz or better system. 1 GHz + recommended.
Results will vary according to your system and sound card
performance. NOTE: With insufficient CPU overhead your host
may lockup or act buggy. Each 'effect' requires different amounts
of CPU time... so if your system is marginal you will find that
some effects work and others may have 'drop out' clicks etc..
>>> UN-INSTALL
To un-install this plug-in program, just delete the file
4ormulator.dll
>>> PROBLEMS?
Due to the variety of plug-in hosts, please describe
your host system when reporting problems. Include as
much detail as you can -- Windows version, host program
you're using (or wrapper), version numbers (host and
plug-in), symptoms, etc..
