Grainfold for Windows - x64 VST3

1. Close your DAW, then extract this ZIP.
2. Copy the entire Grainfold.vst3 folder to:
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
   Approve the Windows administrator prompt if requested.
   Keep its Contents folder intact; do not copy only the inner DLL.
3. Open a 64-bit DAW and rescan its VST3 plug-ins. Insert Grainfold as an
   instrument, then route MIDI notes to it (or use PLAY/KEYS to audition).

REAPER: Preferences > Plug-ins > VST > Re-scan.
Studio One: Options > Locations > VST Plug-ins; check the VST3 scan path and
restart or rescan plug-ins.

For installation without administrator access, place Grainfold.vst3 in:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Common\VST3\
Add that folder to your DAW's plug-in search paths if it does not scan it.

LOAD PROJECT opens .grainfold files shared from mobile. SAVE PROJECT can
include the original audio so the project travels to another device. Linked
exports require the recipient to have the same source audio.

PHONE opens local-network pairing. The mobile sender must support Grainfold's
LAN transfer protocol. Both devices must use the same local network. If
Windows Firewall asks, allow your DAW on your trusted private network.

Requires Windows 10/11 x64 and a 64-bit VST3 host. Windows N editions need the
Media Feature Pack to decode AAC/M4A sources. The C++ runtime is linked into
the plugin; a separate Visual C++ runtime installation is not required.

This archive packages the supplied Release build as-is. It is not a signed
installer. It does not install a licence, service, driver or startup item.
Keep ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.txt, THIRD_PARTY.md and LICENSES with your copy.

To uninstall, close the DAW and remove the installed Grainfold.vst3 folder.
Keep %LOCALAPPDATA%\Nightly Build Audio\Grainfold: saved DAW songs may need
the source audio cached there.
