Instructions:
To install simply unzip and copy the dll to your VSTI plugins folder. Controls - This is an experimental synth for experimental play, so experimentTips:

keep an eye on the level control as this controls the master volume minor changes in another control can make massive differences in the output level and maximum volume is not advised while tweaking
the ‘age’ effect is actually a ’slightly twisted’ chorus/phaser and can be used to create all kinds of wierd effects
although it is intended as an electric piano, Clavia Lab can create all kinds of unusual and pleasant sounds
areas indicated in red on controls (with the exception of wave and octave) hint that distorion may creep in - distortion can be quite pleasent so this is not a problem but is worth knowing if you prefer a completely distortion free tone.
