1.0 PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER PRO FEATURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program overview 

Parametric Equalizer Pro is a professional real-time parametric equalizer 
for Win 95 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 filters bank, together with 
its intuitive user interface, enable you to make subtle or radical changes to 
your audio material.

main features:

- effective real time (really low latency time)
- 80-bit processing procedures
- real-time, highly accurate frequency response display
- wide and customizable filter bank (3 medium sections, 1 low shelf section,1 high self section)
- exact filters response agreement with specified control parameters
- all filters directly projected in the digital domain
- many additional controls
- full 32 bit application

main features added in release 2.5:

- preset support: this new feature allows you to save not only your presets, but also the whole preferred working configurations of your sessions
- auto-normalization: you won’t need anymore to repeat the annoying process-undo procedure to squeeze the last bit of dynamic out of your .WAV files

And all at a little fraction of commercial programs cost!

2.0 INSTALLATION 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ParEq requires a Pentium  processor and a video board with at least 256 colors capabilities
(optimal setup >=65536 colors) and, obviously, a 16 bit sound card.

To install ParEq you have to:

- unzip "ParEq25.zip" (the zipped file you have found on the net) into a temporary folder
- run "Setup.exe" and follow all the instructions
- when setup is completed, delete the temporary directory


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

ParEq offers effective real time (low latency time).

Perhaps it might be useful to show you, as an example, the latency values we use on our machines: 

Pentium 133 Mhz  RAM 24MB		
Hard Disk EIDE 1.7Gb			
SB 16 value PnP				
LATENCY=130 ms

Pentium 133 Mhz  RAM 16MB & 32MB
Hard Disk EIDE 2.1Gb
Turtle Beach Pinnacle
LATENCY=38 ms

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

We have developed Effects Processor Pro:

Effects Processor Pro is a professional real-time audio effects processor for Windows 95.
EPP offers a flexible palette of high-quality modulation effects (phaser, flanger, and chorus) 
to enhance any audio material.
This unit delivers superior noiseless processing operation and provides many, meticulously scaled, 
control parameters. 

An easy to use, accurate and customizable tool for your creativity.

Look for the most updated release and download it from our WWW site: http://www.anwida.com


Our future goals include:

- develop a real-time high quality mixing console (this is the natural extension of Parametric Equalizer Pro)
- develop a real-time high quality graphic equalizer
- develop a real-time high quality multitap delay processor
- develop a real-time high quality dynamic processor
- develop a real-time high quality reverb 


Here is an extract from a letter to a customer. We think that it should clarify our intentions:

"....Probably release 3.0 [of ParEq] will be rewritten in C++ with the new user interface used for Epp10.

We think that the next main problem we'll face (after we solved real-time processing [ParEq20], and custom 
controls developing [knobs, sliders, display...of Epp10]) will be ActiveMovie architecture. 
When we manage this, many new possibilities will be open to us. The main idea we are aiming at, is to build 
an integrated intuitive digital audio studio using PC. This is what we meant with "develop a real-time high 
quality mixing console". 

Now we are building separated blocks [that will be able to function also as standalone modules or as third 
parties plug-ins]. 
In the future, we hope to put them together (so all the projects mentioned as graphic equalizer, reverb, 
dynamic processor etc. will be delivered........"
