v1.46 (2006.06.22)

menu, which also displays the current cc binded to the
selected parameter.

v1.44 (2005.05.13)
- DP crashes correction
- AUValidation fixes (mono to stereo problems)
- Automation to host fix
- Wave shaper correction
v1.43 (2004.10.04)
- A terrible nasty bug was introduced in x.x2 version of the plugs.
Basically, to support a correct display in Logic controller view,
I miss the non linear mapping needed by most of our parameters.
New version correct the bug but did keep the old behavior so that
you can choose between old mode and new mode. This is needed when
you have a project with automation created with version x.x2 of
the plugs.
Mode switch is done via the setup menu. When linear automation is
checked, old mode is on, otherwise new mode is on.
Once the mode on, the plugin must be put off and put back on.
(loading the song again will do it too)
One should be able to load an old song with automation and play
it with both mode (old mode will show correct automation, new mode
will show weird automation but won't crash).
Also one should be able to load a new song with automation and
play it with both mode (new mode will show correct automation,
old mode will show weird automation but won't crash)
- Directly related to this, as the upcoming version of Logic support
custom values in the controller view, we are compliant to this now.
- Plugins pass AUVal 1b15.
- Correct AU version impl to be compliant with upcoming Logic plugin
cache.
- Corrected bypass property reply, which corrected a bug in Live4
- Corrected parameter name from value, which makes Live4 crash with
our 2004/09/08 beta release.
- Tempo synchronization for host since PT6.1

- A double mouse click on a knob sets it to its center
position.
- Mac installers now check the code at installation time.
- Discontinued support for MAS standard.
- Bug fix: graphic glitches when using Steinberg Cubase
and Propellerheads Reason via the ReWire protocol.
- Bug fix: AudioUnit automation has been fixed, and
works in latest Emagic Logic and MOTU Digital Performer.
- Bug fix: AudioUnit plugin can be put in any AU folder
supported by the host.
- Bug fix: on Mac, when saving a preset file, plugin will
not prompt twice for overwriting any more.

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).
* Winamp versions:
Go to the Option/Preference WinAmp menu. In the DSP/Effect
tab, select "OhmBoyz".
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
