Installation
------------

We recommend you close all other applications before
installing the effect.

Step 1 - Selecting the installation location
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Windows VST versions:

Execute the installer. It will find on your hard drive the
applications where the plug-in can be installed. If several
applications are found, you will be asked to choose one.
If you want the plug-in to be installed for all those
applications, you will have to install it on each one.

If the installer could not find the VST plug-in directory,
it does not mean you do not have it; you will be asked to
locate the folder where you want to install your plug-in.

* Other versions:

Execute the installer. You will be asked to choose the
directory where you want to install your effect.

Step 2 - Unlocking the plug-in
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Commercial versions only:

Then, you will have to enter the personal unlock code.
Enter your name and the unlock code you were given. The
unlock code will be checked only after running the plug-
in the first time. Therefore, if you have mistyped your
code, please uninstall it first (using the uninstaller
program if available, else removing the files), and
install the plug-in again.

Step 3 - Running the program
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Plug-in versions:

Please refer to your host application reference manual.

* Stand-alone versions:

Click on its icon in your Start/Program menu (Windows) or
where it has been installed (Macintosh).

Uninstallation
--------------

First close every application potentially using the effect.
This is very important, as the uninstallation will fail if
the plug-in is still in use.

Windows specific
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Go in the Start/Program/Ohm Force menu, and run the
uninstaller from there.

Other systems
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Locate the folder where the plug-in is installed and
delete the files manually.

Minimum system requirements
---------------------------

- SVGA card giving a resolution of at least 800x600.
- 256 MB of RAM
- 20 MB of free space on the hard disk
- Working sound card
- Mouse

Windows specific
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Microsoft Windows 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP or later
- Pentium III-class CPU or later
- Host application compatible with the plug-in standard.

Macinthosh specific
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- MacOS 10.3 or later, depending on the exact effect version
you chose.
- PPC G4 CPU or later
- Host application compatible with the plug-in standard.

Demonstration version specificity
---------------------------------

The Demonstration version is limited to about 8 hours of
use. There is a very little hiss in the background (-96 dB)
which amplify over the time. Sorry if it is annoying, but
this version is only for testing purpose. If you want to
get an unlimited version, please buy the product.

Manual
------

To keep the installer small and easy to download on the
internet, we removed the manual from the archive and
put it on our web site ( http://www.ohmforce.com ). It
is freely available, as for the tutorial. They can be
downloaded for off-line consultation or printing.
