# Synthica v1.0.0

Visual-first subtractive synth lab. Free, educational.

Thank you for downloading. Here is how to install it in under a minute.

## Install (Windows)

Drag each file to its folder:

  Plug-Ins\VST3\Piruz Synthica.vst3  ->  C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
  Standalone\Piruz Synthica.exe      ->  anywhere you like

Then open your DAW and rescan plugins. Done.

You only need the format your DAW uses. VST3 works in most modern DAWs. The
Standalone is a regular Windows app, no DAW needed.

## First launch

On first run you may see "Windows protected your PC." Click **More info**
then **Run anyway**. This is a one-time prompt because we are not EV-signing
on Windows yet.

## Try it tonight

1. Open the Standalone or load Synthica on an instrument track.
2. Play any chord. Watch the **Output** view fill in with your sound.
3. Turn on **Hints** (top-right) and hover any control to learn what it does.
4. Open the **Build** tab in the main visual lab and turn a knob, watch the
   wave shape change in real time.

The whole idea: see what you are building, hear it immediately, learn
synthesis by playing. Two oscillators, full ADSR, LFO, MIDI performance.

## It stays free

limit, no nag screen. Install it on every machine you own.

If it helped you learn, a coffee keeps the next plugin shipping:
