PERC-O by Mad House Audio - INSTALL GUIDE (macOS)
============================================================================

What's in this zip
  - PERC-O.vst3        the plugin (VST3). It is one plugin file, do not open it.
  - CHANGELOG.txt     what's new in this version
  - INSTALL.txt       this guide

Requirements
  - macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later, Apple Silicon or Intel (universal build)
  - A DAW that loads VST3 plugins (for example Ableton Live, FL Studio,
    Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, Bitwig). Logic Pro is not supported: it only
    loads Audio Units, and this plugin is VST3 only.

Install
  1. Unzip this file (double-click it). You get a folder named "PERC-O.vst3".
  2. Drag "PERC-O.vst3" into ONE of these folders:
       /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3      (all users, asks for your password)
       ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3     (just you)
     Tip: in Finder press Cmd+Shift+G and paste the folder path.
  3. Open your DAW and rescan plugins.

Updating from an older version
  Close your DAW, delete the old "PERC-O.vst3" from the VST3 folder, copy the new one
  in, then reopen your DAW and rescan.

If macOS blocks it ("can't be opened", or your DAW says it is damaged)
  The plugin is not notarized by Apple yet, and files downloaded from the
  internet carry a quarantine flag. Clear it once in Terminal (adjust the
  path if you used your own Library folder):

    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/PERC-O.vst3"

  Then rescan plugins in your DAW. This is needed only once per install.
