1.0 EFECTS PROCESSOR PRO FEATURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPP is a real-time audio effects processor for Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP.

EPP offers a flexible palette of high quality modulation effects (phaser, flanger,
chorus, tremolo, C-Delay) to enhance any audio material.  A simple, accurate and
customizable tool for your creativity.

- real-time processing of every input (CD, line-in, mic, synth...) of your audio board.
- real-time and off-line processing of .WAV files
- effective real time; really low latency time.
- no noise due to processing: all processing procedures and links between effects sections
  are made with 64 bit accuracy, this ensures truly clean and noiseless sound.
- fully user controllable effects patch
- presets support
- five effects simultaneously.
- built-in limiter
- many, carefully scaled, control parameters.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.0 INSTALLATION 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPP requires:
- Pentium  processor 
- 16 bit sound card (full duplex 16 bit sound card to take full advantage of the "live input" feature)
- video board with at least 256 colors capabilities (recommended >=65536 colors).

To install EPP you have to:

- create a proper  folder on your hard disk  
- unzip "epp21.zip" (the zipped file you have found on the net) into that folder
- create a short cut to "epp21.exe"

To know how to configure EPP for maximum performance, please, look at the 
"Installation & configuration" section of EPP help file.

3.0 EFFECTS OVERVIEW
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLANGER
Flanging is an effect produced by mixing a signal with a delayed time-varied copy of itself. 
This generates a typical "whooshing" sound.
EPP flanger program produces stereo flanging with two flanges that move in a user definable 
relationship with each other.

Parameters
delay: affects flanging timbre.
depth: regulates the modulation depth.
rate: regulates the speed of the modulation.
feedback: controls signal recirculation. It creates a sharper timbre.
degree: allows stereo enhancing of the incoming audio signal.
mix: controls the unprocessed/processed signal ratio.

This flanger works also as a stereo comb-filter, and it can be useful to produce 
interesting effects.


PHASER
EPP phaser program produces stereo phasing. This effect, popular in the '70s, creates 
a sound similar to a Flanger, but less metallic.

Parameters
Frequency: affects phasing timbre
depth: regulates the modulation depth.
rate: regulates the speed of the modulation.
feedback: controls signal recirculation. It creates a sharper timbre 
degree: allows stereo enhancing of the incoming audio signal
mix: controls the unprocessed/processed signal ratio

This phaser works also as a stereo allpass-filter (plus unprocessed signal added). 
This creates a sophisticated notch filtering action.


CHORUS
Chorusing is an effect that creates the impression that a given part is being played by more
musicians together. It is used often to sweeten and widen the sound of an instrument. 
As for a flanger, it is produced by mixing the incoming audio signal with a delayed time-varied 
Copy of itself. Unlike flanging, the chorus delay is wider (>8ms).
EPP chorus program is a four voice chorus (two stereo pairs).

Parameters
delay: affects chorus timbre and dimension.
depth: regulates the modulation depth.
rate: regulates the speed of the modulationMOD.
feedback: controls signal recirculation creating a sharper timbre, and a "small reverb" sensation.
degree: allows stereo enhancing of the incoming audio signal.
mix: controls the unprocessed/processed signal ratio.

You can use this effect also as a static spatial enhancer.



TREMOLO + RESONANT LP FILTER
This effect continuously changes the amplitude of a signal creating the impression of a pulsing
source. Thanks to the additional resonant low pass filter, its the perfect tool to achieve
great vintage sounds (electric pianos,guitars...).


Parameters:
frequency: controls the resonance frequency 
depth: regulates the modulation depth
rate: regulates the speed of the modulation
feedback: controls the resonance level
degree: allows stereo enhancing of the incoming audio signal
mix: controls the unprocessed/processed signal ratio



C-DELAY
This effect creates a rich chorused delay. Its flexibility allows to obtain a great variety
of effects like crisp and wide stereo choruses, long delays (up to 1 second), modulated delays,
spatial enhancing and more.

Parameters:
delay: affects the delay length
depth: regulates the modulation depth
rate: regulates the speed of the modulation
feedback: controls the echo decay
degree: allows stereo enhancing of the incoming audio signal
mix: controls the unprocessed/processed signal ratio

3.0 OTHER ANWIDA SOFT PRODUCTS & PROJECTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANWIDA Soft has been working in digital audio software since 1995.

We have developed :


*** SA series products ***

"Effects Processor Pro"

Effects Processor Pro is a professional real-time audio effects processor that offers
a flexible palette of high-quality modulation effects (phaser, flanger, chorus, stereo 
delay, tremolo, resonant filters). This unit delivers superior noiseless processing 
operation and provides many, meticulously scaled, control parameters. 


"Parametric Equalizer Pro"

Parametric Equalizer Pro is a professional real-time parametric equalizer that lets you 
shape the timbre of a sound by boosting or attenuating its frequency components. 
The high quality and flexibility of the program's filter bank (1 high & 1 low shelf + 
3 medium section), together with its intuitive user interface, enable you to make subtle
or radical changes to your audio material.


*** DX series products ***

"DX Modulation Pack"

The DX Modulation Pack is a collection of superior quality modulation effects.
These DirectX plug-ins embody state of the art algorithms developed with maximum care and
no compromise. The DX Modulation Pack includes 6 discrete plug-ins: phaser, flanger, chorus,
tremolo, c-delay, modulated resonant LP filter.


"DX Reverb"

The DX Reverb is a processing module delivering a rich and distinctive palette of reverb
effects. From inverse and gated reverberation to warm plate reverbs and wide halls.
These DirectX plug-in embodies state of the art algorithms developed with maximum care
and no compromise. The DX Reverb includes 11 different reverberation algorithms.


"DX Reverb Light"

The DX Reverb Light is the ULTIMATE FREE DirectX reverb plug-in. Based on a reduced version
of the DX Reverb, this plug-in is an astonishing quality reverberation unit freely downloadable
from our site. Even if the DX Reverb light offers less than 1/11* of the power of the DX Reverb,
it provides astonishing quality and extreme flexibility, allowing you to simulate from small rooms
with sudden attacks and coloration characteristic of small spaces to large natural-sounding spaces
with spread attack and build of a concert hall.

(*) the DX Reverb includes 11 different algorithms with a total of 10 control parameters while
the DX Reverb Light has 1 algorithm with 4 parameters.
