Sympiano for Windows
====================

This zip contains the Sympiano plugin and standalone app for 64-bit Windows.

What is inside
--------------
  VST3\Sympiano.vst3      The plugin, for your DAW (Ableton, FL Studio, Reaper,
                          Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, and any other VST3 host).
  Standalone\Sympiano.exe The standalone app, no DAW required.

Installing the VST3 plugin
--------------------------
Copy the "Sympiano.vst3" folder into your shared VST3 folder:

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

Then rescan plugins in your DAW. Sympiano appears under Reverb / FX effects.

(If you would rather not copy files by hand, use the installer instead:
 Sympiano-<version>-Windows-Setup.exe puts everything in the right place.)

Running the standalone app
--------------------------
Double-click Standalone\Sympiano.exe. On first launch, pick your audio device
in the app's audio settings.

A note on the "Windows protected your PC" warning
-------------------------------------------------
This build is not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show an
"unknown publisher" warning. Sympiano is safe. To run it, click "More info"
and then "Run anyway". A signed build is planned for a future release.
