===================
VST Plugin Analyser
===================


Description:
------------

The VST Plugin Analyser does an FFT and performance analysis of a given VST-Plugin. It's as simple as that. More features will be implemented in two month, so this is the first alpha release. I use this host for debugging my plugins (e.g. use this in Delphi with the Run->Parameters settings)

This tiny little software is freeware and i hope a lot of people can use this. But since i have a bet with my roomate, i would really enjoy it to receive some postcards from all over the world. If i can get more postcards  (only landscape postcards count) until the end of our studies, i will win. Currently he has a lot more, than i have, because has an irish girlfriend who steadily send postcards. And maybe if You can not send me a postcard (because You are so busy analysing all the nice plugins), maybe your girlfriend can :-)

Please send lovely landscape postcards to:
