PA PortaTwin v2.1.0 — Linux (BETA)
by Pointless Audio
https://pointlessaudio.studio

Tascam Porta Two 4-track cassette emulator — tape, wow/flutter, dbx, HOT preamp.

This is a BETA build for Linux. The sound engine is the same as the released
macOS/Windows v2.1.0; the Linux build itself has only been checked with
automated tests, not yet in a real DAW. Feedback is very welcome.


INSTALLATION
------------
VST3 (x86_64)
- Copy the folder "PA PortaTwin.vst3" to:
    ~/.vst3/
  (create the folder if it does not exist)

CLAP (x86_64)
- Copy the file "PA PortaTwin.clap" to:
    ~/.clap/
  (create the folder if it does not exist)

Restart your DAW and rescan plugins.


UNINSTALL
---------
Delete "PA PortaTwin.vst3" from ~/.vst3/
Delete "PA PortaTwin.clap" from ~/.clap/


REQUIREMENTS
------------
- 64-bit x86 Linux. Built on Ubuntu 24.04: distributions with an older
  glibc may refuse to load it.
- A VST3 or CLAP host (Renoise, Bitwig, REAPER, Ardour...).


WHAT TO CHECK (if you have five minutes)
----------------------------------------
1. The plugin scans and loads, the window opens and the knobs respond.
2. X11 or Wayland session? Any problem with the window, fonts or scaling
   (HiDPI / fractional scaling)?
3. CPU with the window open and closed.
4. Save a project with PortaTwin on a track, close the DAW, reopen it:
   same settings, same sound?
5. Presets: save one with your own name, load it back.

Please include: distribution and version, DAW and version, X11/Wayland,
screen scaling, VST3 or CLAP. Write to: pointlessaudio@proton.me
