 FRENCH SQUASH FILTER - macOS Installation
================================================================

WHAT'S IN THIS PACKAGE
  - FrenchSquashFilter-1.0.0-macOS.pkg   the installer (VST3® + AU)
  - FrenchSquashFilter-Manual-EN.pdf / -IT.pdf   the user manual

The installer puts both plug-in formats in the right place:
  - VST3  -> /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3        (Ableton, Cubase,
             Bitwig, Reaper, Studio One, ...)
  - AU    -> /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components   (Logic, GarageBand)

----------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO INSTALL
----------------------------------------------------------------

1. Double-click "FrenchSquashFilter-1.0.0-macOS.pkg".
2. Follow the installer: Continue -> Install -> enter your
   password.
3. Restart your DAW. In Ableton the plugin is under:
   Plug-Ins > Loddj

That's it.

IF macOS BLOCKS THE INSTALLER

(Only happens with an unsigned build. The official signed +
notarized package opens with no warning.)

If you see "cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for
malware":

  1. Click "Done" on that dialog.
  2. Open  System Settings > Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll to the bottom (Security). You will see a line about
     the FrenchSquashFilter package with an "Open Anyway" button.
  4. Click "Open Anyway", authenticate, then click "Open" in the
     second dialog. The installer starts.
