Description______________________________________________________

Snorgan is an 'electric organ' type VST instrument with a unique
character.  Despite the simplicity of Snorgan's interface it's
still capable of producing a wide variety of interesting sounds.

An explanation of the controls on Snorgan's interface follows but
it's probably better to just experiment.


Panel Reference__________________________________________________

[tone]

The starting point of Snorgan's sound: select one of Snorgan's
16 unique waveforms (split into two banks of eight waveforms)
The octave knob allows you to change the pitch of the sound by up
to two octaves higher or lower.  The tone of the sound can be
modified with the brightness knob.

[harmonic]

A secondary tone: the pitch knob controls the frequency of the
secondary tone relative to the primary tone.  The decay knob
controls how fast the volume of the secondary tone falls, the
level knob controls the overall volume of the secondary tone.

[filter]

Actually two filters running in parallel, the dice/slice switch
selects bandpass/band reject and high pass/low pass respectively.
The filters' cutoff and resonance can be adjusted with the
frequency and Q knobs.

The filters' cutoff frequency is modulated by an LFO,
controllable with the rate and depth knobs.  When the mono/stereo
switch is in the stereo position the cutoff frequency in the left
output falls as the cutoff in the right output rises, and
vice versa.

[damage]

Injects some noise into the signal path and simultaneously distorts
the sound a little.  The white/pink switch selects the
colour of the noise, the level knob affects how 'damaged' Snorgan
sounds.

Note: depending on the settings in the filter and flange sections
the effect of the damage settings can vary considerably.

[flange]

A simple stereo delay effect which is applied to only one of the
filter outputs in the filter section.  When the filter switch is
in the dice position the topsy setting causes the flange effect
to be applied to the bandpass filter, the band reject filter is
affected when turvy is selected.  If slice is selected in the
filter section, topsy and turvy cause the highpass and lowpass
filters to be affected respectively.

The delay time and feeback can be adjusted with the manual and
feedback knobs.

The delay time is also modulated by an LFO controllable with the
rate and depth knobs.  When the mono/stereo switch is in the
stereo position the delay time in the left output falls as the
delay time in the right output rises, and vice versa.

[volume]

The volume of the sound is shaped by a standard ADSR envelope,
the level knob controls Snorgan's overall volume.


Installation_____________________________________________________

Copy the file Snorgan.dll into your VST plugins directory,
Snorgan will then be available for use in your VST host.
