PAM SYNC README
===============

Pam sync is a simple no frills DAW plugin for syncing Pam to your DAW
via extermely low latency audio signals. It uses 2 audio (i.e stereo)
channels to provide a 'DIN Sync' type signal consisting of a clock and
a run signal to be patched into Pam (or other DIN Sync hardware). It
will only work with a 'DC-Coupled' audio interface.

The audio left output from the plugin is a 24 pulses per quarter note
clock signal and the right is a simple DC offset designed for use as a run
signal. Other hardware that uses this DIN SYnc standard may also be
syncable with this plugin but we can provide no support.

Install For Windows:
====================

With this file will be a .vst3 plugin file to be put in your 
VST plugin filepath. This could be C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 or 
C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins\ or something similar.
If you are updating Pam Sync, and there is already a plugin of the
same name in the folder, make sure to Replace File when asked.

Install For Mac:
================

With this file will be a .pkg package file and running this will
open the plugin installer. Once run, the vst3 and component files will be
placed in your system library under Audio/Plug-Ins/
To update Pam Sync, run the latest version of the pkg and the installer
will handle replacing the old version.

Setup:
======

Add a Pam Sync plugin instance to your DAW. Pam Sync will run on any 
stereo instrument channel (eg: Software Instrument track in Logic Pro).
The Pam Sync plugin will now sync your Pam to the DAWs BPM when 
playing - starting when the playhead crosses a beat.

Connect the left output of the plugin from your DC-coupled interface
to the CLK input on your Pam.

Connect the right output of the plugin from your DC-coupled interface
to the RUN input on your Pam.

Ensure the following Pam settings are set correctly (long hold encoder 
on BPM screen to access):
 # Ext clock PPQN should be set to x24
 # Input: Run should be set to Run
 # Input: Clk should be set to Clock (Pam Pro only)

If syncing issues arise, check:
 # Your audio interface is DC coupled!
 # *Both* signals are being output and are correctly patched.
 # Pam Sync is going to the correct outputs of your interface.
 # Try adjusting the output level from the UI - signal could be too
   low or too high (distorting).
