FORME01
Version 1.3.1

A dual-band formant shifter plugin for voice tuning.

Developed by reminitone.

--------------------------------------------------

OVERVIEW

FORME01 is a real-time formant shifter that lets you
shift the character of selected frequency bands
without changing pitch.

Use it for:

* improving vocal clarity
* reducing nasality
* subtle tonal shaping

--------------------------------------------------

FEATURES

* AAX / AU / VST3
* Dual independent bands with individual on/off switches
* Real-time band-limited formant shift
* Spectrum display with draggable band handles
* Solo listen: click a band's colored zone to audition it alone
* HI-RES mode
* Bypass
* 30-day free trial, one-time purchase license

--------------------------------------------------

PARAMETERS

[BAND 1 / BAND 2]
Independent frequency ranges for formant processing.
Band 1: 20 Hz - 8 kHz. Band 2: 20 Hz - 15 kHz
(extended range for sibilance and "air" shaping).

Double-click near a handle to type a frequency
(e.g. "1.2k"). Click inside a band's colored zone to
solo that band; click an empty area to un-solo.
Solo is an audition tool only - it is never saved
with the session and clears when the window closes.

[SHIFT]
Formant shift amount.
Range: -2.0 to +2.0 st

[OUTPUT]
Output gain.

[HI-RES]
Doubles the FFT resolution for more accurate low-frequency
band selection and formant tracking, at the cost of
doubled latency.

[BYPASS]
Bypasses all processing.

--------------------------------------------------

TRIAL AND ACTIVATION

FORME01 runs as a fully functional free trial for 30 days
from first launch. After the trial ends, audio output is
muted until a license is activated.

To activate:

1. Purchase a license at
   https://reminitone.com/products/forme01/
2. Click the gear icon in the top-left corner of the plugin.
3. Paste your license key and click ACTIVATE.

Activation requires an internet connection (only once).
After activation the plugin works fully offline —
no internet connection is ever required to load or use it.

One license can be activated on up to 3 computers.
Use "DEACTIVATE THIS COMPUTER" in the settings panel to
free up a seat before moving to another machine.

The AAX, AU and VST3 versions share one activation
per computer.

--------------------------------------------------

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

- macOS 12 (Monterey) or later
- Pro Tools 2022.x or later (AAX)
- Logic Pro 10.7 or later (AU)
- Any VST3-compatible host
- Apple Silicon or Intel Mac (Universal binary)

--------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION

1. Run the included installer package (FORME01-1.3.1.pkg).
2. Launch your DAW.
3. Insert "FORME01" on a track.

Category: Pitch / Formant

--------------------------------------------------

NOTES

FORME01 uses FFT overlap-add processing.
The lowest displayable frequency is limited by FFT bin resolution
(approximately 43 Hz at standard mode, 22 Hz in HI-RES mode).

Both bands can overlap freely. Overlapping regions are summed.

VERSION HISTORY

v1.3.1
- Fixed: toggling BYPASS could produce an audible click.
  Bypass now crossfades smoothly (about 15 ms) and the
  processing engine keeps running while bypassed, so
  latency stays perfectly consistent
- The analyzer stays live while bypassed
- Bypass state is now shown by a dark veil over the plugin
  window and a glowing BYPASS button
- Window is now resizable (drag the bottom-right corner,
  up to 150%; the zoom is saved with the session)
- UI refinements: "FORME" wordmark, larger frequency
  labels and SOLO tag (now centered in the analyzer),
  new title-bar button style with HI-RES indicator lamp

v1.3.0
- SHIFT range extended from +/-1.0 to +/-2.0 semitones
- Band 2 upper limit extended from 8 kHz to 15 kHz
  (for sibilance / "air" shaping)
- Solo listen: click a band's colored zone in the analyzer
  to audition only that band (post-processing)
- Manufacturer name now displays correctly as "reminitone"

  COMPATIBILITY NOTE for sessions saved with v1.2.0 or
  earlier: saved knob settings load unchanged, but any
  written AUTOMATION on the SHIFT parameters will now have
  double the effect, and automation on the Band 2 frequency
  handles maps to different frequencies. Please review
  those automation lanes after updating.

v1.2.0
- License system: 30-day free trial, then one-time purchase
  (license key activation, up to 3 computers)
- Settings panel (gear icon, top-left) with license management
- Band 1 / Band 2 buttons now fill with the band color when on
- Swapped HI-RES and BYPASS button positions

v1.1.0
- UI redesign (reminitone "Quiet Archive" design system)
- Plugin bypass now linked to DAW bypass
- Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+click opens the automation menu in Pro Tools
- Minimum macOS version is now 12 (Monterey)

v1.0.2
- Added per-band on/off switches for Band 1 and Band 2
- Fixed delay compensation behavior on bypass (plugin bypass and DAW-level bypass)

v1.0.1
- Initial release
