SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------

-Windows requirements:
 .Windows 7 x64 or higher

-Mac Requirements:
 MAC OS 10.15+ IS REQUIRED FOR ALL MODULES.
  PLEASE DO NOT SEND CRASH OR BUG REPORTS IF YOU ARE USING AN UNSUPPORTED OLDER MAC OS VERSION !
 NOTE: THE INCLUDED MAC MODULES ARE "UNIVERSAL", THEY SUPPORT BOTH INTEL AND ARM PROCESSORS.
 NOTE: MAC MODULES ARE DISTRIBUTED SEPARATELY AND THEIR VERSION MAY BE OLDER THAN WINDOWS VERSION.
 NOTE: To use M1 modules in Logic Pro and possibly in other DAWs, the plugin must be code-signed


TUNED VERSION (WINDOWS)
-----------------------

Two binary sets are now distributed, one for generic x86-64 architecture as usual (WIN_64) and one especially optimized for i7-AVX architecture, which may give performance boosts up to 150-200%, in particular with CPU-intensive modules. However, the latter may crash on older or low-end CPUs. Please always consider carefully the choice of distributing plugins made with the i7-AVX version, since end-users of your plugins might be using older or lower-end machines than yours !



INSTALLATION (WINDOWS)
----------------------

1. Please first delete (or move to a backup place):
   -any previous DSP, GUI, Sampling and Shape SEM files from your modules/ folder
   -all previous DSP, GUI, Sampling and Shape HELP file folders from your modules/HELP folder
   -all previous ED example projects (wherever you are keeping them)

2. Decide which CPU [version] to install. If you have an i7+ or recent enough CPU, pick the i7-AVX
   version. Otherwise, in particular if users of your plugins may still be using older or low-end
   CPUs, pick the generic W64 version. Revert to the generic version in case of unexpected crashes.

   Copy all #?.sem files found in SEM\WIN_[version]\ to
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\SynthEdit\modules\
   OR to your custom modules path if you have specified one (eg: D:\SE_Modules\)

3. PLEASE ALSO COPY all the folders found in HELP\ to
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\SynthEdit\modules\Help\
   OR to your custom modules path if you have specified one (eg: D:\SE_Modules\Help\)

4. The ExampleProjects folder can be copied wherever you prefer. It is advisable not to ignore
   these important example projects and use them as tutorial/reference before contacting the Author
   for any help !

5. DO NOT FORGET TO RESCAN FOR SYNTHEDIT MODULES: Synth Edit -> Preferences -> Rescan Modules



INSTALLING OPTIONAL MAC MODULES FOR EXPORTING MAC PLUGINS
---------------------------------------------------------

-Download the separate MAC archive from the main product page (www.elenadesign.eu/edm)

-Copy all #?.sem folders found in SEM\MAC_Universal\ to
 C:\Program Files\Common Files\SynthEdit\modules_mac\
 OR to a new folder on the same level as your custom modules folder by adding "_mac" to the
 folder name, in case you have specified a custom module path (eg: D:\SE_Modules_mac is you
 have specified D:\SE_Modules as custom SE modules path)
 Make sure you have first deleted any previous ED Mac modules aswell !
