Metallurgy is a PC VST multi effect that is capable of providing sounds ranging from some basic, subtle, filter tweaks to twisted, complex, walls of sound that bear virtually no resemblance to the original audio.
Metallurgy offers 3 filters with multiple modulation options, 2 very digital distortions, 2 downsamplers, dual delay, an envelope follower, a gate sequencer, and a Metal effect that, in addition to flanging and metallic effects, also provides the ability to produce pitched sequences. You can even play the pitches via MIDI input, nearly turning Metallurgy into an synth in it's own right.
Metallurgy was designed with drums, bass, and synths in mind, but it works well with a wide variety of input material and is useful for many styles of music. I always encourage experimentation with all my VST's but it's especially so with this one since, by virtue of being an effect, you can run anything you want through it. So just feed it lots of different stuff, see what it spits out, and have fun!

Copy Protection: None!
I prefer to not annoy my customers with ineffective and intrusive copy protection methods that would still get cracked and that warez users never see anyway. Instead I'd rather that my customers enjoy a more comfortable and easy installation experience.
Please do not distribute or give away your copy though. If your friend wants a copy, encourage them to buy their own. I try to keep my prices low so that my VSTs will be affordable to the majority of computer musicians.
Installation
You just have to unzip a single folder into your VST directory and you're done. That's it. No annoying installers or registrations.
License Transfers Allowed
If you find that you are no longer getting much use out of your purchase, you can transfer your license to someone else. Just let me know who it is going to so that the new owner can receive updates and support.
