I N T R O
THANKS!
First off we want to say a big THANK YOU for your purchase of the
SoundToys Native Effects Bundle.
We know there are an awful lot of plug-ins for you to choose from and we
(and especially our spouses and kids) are truly grateful that you have
chosen to spend your hard earned money on our products. We take a lot of
pride in our work and we sincerely hope that you find our plug-ins
inspirational and musically useful.
What is SoundToys Anyway?
So what the heck is "SoundToys" anyway?
Our approach in developing the SoundToys series of plug-ins is to create
dedicated processors that provide the absolute best possible sound quality,
flexibility and creative sound manipulation in the wonderful world of digital,
but that also possess that truly analog character and vibe.
All of us at SoundToys (formerly Wave Mechanics) are a bunch of effects
fanatics, and we’re constantly searching for new ways to manipulate and
mangle sound that will put a smile on your face and help you produce the
next great song, movie, or video game.
And, just so you know, we are the guys that were responsible for designing
such groundbreaking and industry standard products as the Eventide¨
H3000, DSP4000, and the Wave Mechanics UltraTools line of plug-ins for
Pro Tools TDM. Our DSP algorithms can even be found in such high-end
studio gear as the TC Electronics Fireworx, G-Force, and G-Major
processors, and more.

GETTING STARTED
System Requirements
SoundToys Native Effects is a collection of virtual effects processors that
‘plug in’ to your favorite audio editing and mixing software application. In
order to use SoundToys Native Effects you must have an audio application
that supports the loading of “plug-ins” in one of the plug-in formats that we
support: VST, Audio Units (AU), RTAS, and AudioSuite.
We actively support the following applications: Pro Tools, Logic Audio,
Nuendo, Cubase, Live and Digital Performer. We will typically test our plug-
ins with the latest version of each of these applications. Older versions and
other hosts
may
work, but we cannot guarantee it. Please check the
support page on our website for the most up to date compatibility info.
For a computer, we highly recommend as fast a computer as possible. An
Intel P4 (or better ) based PC running Windows XP or later, or a Mac G5 or
later running OS 10.4 or later.
The iLok
You’ll also need one of those little "iLok" hardware keys (There’s one in
your box ready to go). It’s a small brightly colored plastic USB key that
looks like this:

If you purchased the boxed version of our product, the iLok key is included
in the package. If you purchased the download version, and don’t yet have
an iLok, we’ll be happy to sell you one at a modest price or you can
purchase one from your favorite pro audio dealer.
The iLok is used to hold the “authorization” to use our plug-ins. If you’d like
to run our effects on multiple computers (but not at the same time), simply
run the installer on each system, and move the iLok to whichever computer
you are using at the time.
To manage your authorizations, go to www.ilok.com and set up a new
account. From here, you can download new authorizations, move
authorizations between different keys, or even sell your authorization to
someone else.
Installing the SoundToys Native Effects Plug-Ins
Installing our plug-ins is really pretty easy. The procedure is slightly
different depending on whether you have purchased the download version
or the boxed version.
Boxed Version
First, make sure that you have the included iLok hardware key connected to
your computer’s USB port. Once you’re ready, simply pop the installer CD
into your computer’s CD-ROM drive and when the CD icon appears on your
screen double-click on which platform you have (Mac or PC), then double-
6
click on “Install SoundToys Native Effects” to start the process. Follow any
instructions included in the installer.
After the plug-ins have been installed, you’re ready to try out your new
toys. Yippeee! That was easy.
Download Version
When you purchase the download version of the SoundToys Native Effects,
you should have been instructed to download the SoundToys Native Effects
software installer from our web site. If you haven’t done so already, please
download it now.
You will have also received a SoundToys Native Effects iLok ‘asset’ from us,
deposited to your iLok.com account. This iLok asset is what we use to
unlock our plug-ins for awesome customers (like you! ) In order to use
SoundToys Native Effects plug-ins, you will need to transfer the SoundToys
Native Effects asset from your iLok.com account into your iLok hardware
key. If you haven’t already done this, go to www.iLok.com, and follow the
instructions on that web site for transferring the asset into your hardware
key.
Now, run the SoundToys Native Effects installer program. To check that
you are properly authorized launch your host application (or on the Mac,
the SoundToys Native Effects Authorizer application located in the
Applications:SoundToys folder). Your host should start up without any
dialogs asking you to
Authorize
.
Where We Put Everything
Once installed, the SoundToys Native Effects plug-ins will be installed in the
appropriate location for each plug-in format (VST, RTAS, AU). A complete
set of presets for each of the plug-ins will also be installed. Finally, a
SoundToys folder will be created which contains this manual, as well as
7
other useful documentation and tools that you can read or ignore
depending on your level of patience or interest in reading babbling things
like this manual. The exact locations of these files are described in the
“Additional Information” section near the back of this manual.
Registration
If you purchased the packaged version of SoundToys Native Effects, please
register your product by going to http://www.soundtoys.com/register. If
you purchased the download version from the SoundToys web site, there is
no need to register, as we have already done that for you.
For registration, you can find the serial number for this product on the
plastic registration card inside the SoundToys Native Effects package. We
also suggest you keep this card in a safe place, along with the original CD.
We also strongly recommend that you go to http://www.iLok.com, set up an
iLok.com account, and register your iLok. By registering your iLok, we can
better support you in the rare case that your iLok malfunctions, is lost or
stolen, or you have some other problem with your SoundToys
authorization.

SOUNDTOYS BASICS
Since you would probably not be reading this unless you own an Audio
system we kind of take it for granted that you have at LEAST a basic
working knowledge of your computer and your audio application . If you
don’t, we strongly suggest you make yourself a strong cup of coffee (or
two), get a comfortable chair and familiarize yourself with the ins and outs
of your audio system before delving too much further into our plug-ins.
Knobs
You can use a mouse to control all of the knobs in the SoundToys plug-ins,
and they all work in the same way: To turn a knob up, (to the right,
clockwise etc), click on the knob with your mouse and drag the cursor to
the right or slide the cursor up (towards the ceiling). To turn a knob down,
(to the left, counter-clockwise), click on the knob with the mouse and drag
the cursor to the left or down (towards the floor). "Mousing" around in a
circle doesn’t really work; you’ll just get frustrated and or dizzy, neither of
which is a lot of fun.
Jumping to a Value using Text Markings
Some knobs have text markings showing minimum, maximum, or other
values. Clicking on one of these text markings will automatically move the
knob directly to that value.
