AbyssFX - Morphing Reverb & Space Destruction
Version 1.0.0
Electronik Sound Lab
==============================================================================.

THANK YOU FOR DOWNLOADING ABYSS FX.

AbyssFX is a sound design tool that combines algorithmic reverb with a custom
distortion and morphing engine. This plugin requires a simple manual
installation to function correctly on your Windows system.

==============================================================================
1. PLUGIN INSTALLATION (.vst3)
==============================================================================.

1. Unzip the downloaded file.

2. Locate the file named AbyssFX.vst3.

3. Copy or move that file into the default Windows VST3 folder:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\.

Note: If your DAW is currently open, you will need to restart it or perform
a Rescan of your plugins for AbyssFX to appear in your effects list.

==============================================================================
2. PRESET INSTALLATION (IMPORTANT)
==============================================================================.

For the preset browser to function and display the factory settings, you must
place the content folder in your Documents.

1. In the downloaded zip file, you will find a folder named AbyssFX
(inside, there should be a subfolder named Presets).

2. Copy the entire AbyssFX folder and paste it into your system's
Documents folder.

The final path should look like this:
C:\Users\[YourName]\Documents\AbyssFX\Presets\.

3. AbyssFX will automatically read the .afx files from this location upon launch.

3. QUICK START GUIDE
==============================================================================.

THE BIOME SYSTEM (MORPH MODES).

The plugin features three distinct reverb modes that alter the character:

RUST - Resonant, metallic, corroded character with vintage texture.
Pressure adds moderate drive (+40%) and organic movement.

ABYSS - Deep, dark, organic sound with slow evolution.
Pressure adds NO drive (cleanest mode).

MAGMA - Aggressive, chaotic, heavily saturated destruction.
Pressure adds maximum drive (+80%).

THE PRESSURE CONTROL (MACRO).

The central Pressure slider controls multiple parameters simultaneously based
on the selected Biome mode. It's your one-knob creative transformation tool.

PRO TIPS.

Adaptive Predelay: You can use long times (up to 500ms). The plugin
automatically adjusts the internal mix curve so the dry signal keeps its
definition and punch.

Freeze: Use the Freeze button to create infinite drones and evolving pads.

Asterisk (*): If you see an asterisk next to the preset name, it means you
have made unsaved changes.

==============================================================================
4. TROUBLESHOOTING
==============================================================================.

The plugin does not appear in my DAW:
Ensure you have copied the .vst3 file to the correct folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
and restart your DAW.

Presets show "Init" or the list is empty:
Verify that the AbyssFX folder is located directly inside your
Documents folder and that you have read/write permissions for it.
Path should be: C:\Users\[YourName]\Documents\AbyssFX\Presets\.
