-
- README
-
- This VST PlugIn emulating tube distortion was designed to be used during
- mastering.
-
- Parameters:
-
- Drive setting controls internal tube threshold. The more the drive the
- more 'tubized' signal becomes. This is not a relative setting, so you will
- need to use different 'Drive' values for every production. JFYI, internal
- thershold is at -6 dB when 'Drive' setting is at 0 dB. If you make 'Drive'
- equal to 6 dB internal threshold will decrease to -12 dB. So, for
- originally loud signals you will possibly need low 'Drive' values and for
- quiet signals you will possibly use high 'Drive' values.
-
- Tube setting adjusts voltage curve. Using values > 1.0 makes very strange
- tube sound. Normal setting is in range 0 to 1. Suggested 'tubewarming'
- value is 0.21.
-
- Bias setting controls a special biasing signal that is added to input
- signal. Biasing allows to introduce both even and odd harmonics and
- generally makes processing more dynamic. Setting bias to zero will result
- in no additional biasing.
-
- Out Gain controls overall output volume.
-
- Notes:
-
- Plug-in can work in "mono -> stereo" and "stereo -> stereo" modes.
-
- BTW, possibly chaining several tube amps with different settings produces
- better sound.

- What's New:
-
- Version 1.7, 12-apr-2003
- ------------------------
- 1. All GUI functions were updated.
- 2. DC filter's corner frequency was changed to 5 Hz.
- 3. Added preset support, bank can hold up to 12 presets. All previously
- saved presets will not be supported. Sorry for this inconvenience.
- At the same time plug-in's internal ID was changed too.
- 4. Factory presets were added.
-
- Version 1.6, 17-nov-2002
- ------------------------
- 1. A major rewrite of plug-in's internal functions. Now plug-in works
- more that 2 times faster.
- 2. Noise control was removed.
- 3. Added 'Bias' control which also required to implement a DC offset
- removal filter which was also added. This filter attenuates frequencies
- below 23 Hz while having almost no effect on frequenices above that
- threshold.
- 4. GUI controlling changed to a more user-friendly style. Now vertical
- mouse moving does coarse-tuning. Right mouse button enables
- fine-tuning. Mouse hides when tuning a knob.
-
- Version 1.5, 19-oct-2002
- ------------------------
- 1. Changed license file.
- 2. Added denormalization countermeasures.
-
- Version 1.4, 25-jul-2002
- ------------------------
- No changes were logged.
