Acknowledgments
We would like to thank all our beta testers for their invaluable comments, especially Felix Petrescu, Rick McGowan, Jacky Ligon and Bruce Satinover for finding out so many bugs in the initial releases, and suggesting many innovative features.
Very special thanks go to Daniel Maurer, for his incredible sound design work.
Installation
To start installation, run the executable installer file and follow the instructions. Once installed, you will be able to select Rhino in the list of available virtual instruments in your host software.
Windows notes:
You will be prompted for your VST plug-ins folder, where the Rhino2.dll plug-in will be copied.
Rhino is also available as a standalone program (Rhino2.exe).
The standalone program can be configured via a menu in the top left corner of the window.
You can uninstall Rhino like any other Windows program, by using the Windows Control Panel.
Rhino can work as a portable application, i.e, without storing anything on your system drive. To enable this mode, you simply have to create a file with notepad, save it as “.Rhino2″ at the root of the drive where Rhino is installed, and use it to define the path to the Rhino folder, as follows:
[BigTick]
path=U:\Program Files\Rhino\
MAC notes:
Running the Rhino installer will install both the vst and audiounit versions in your /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins folder
The Rhino folder
The Rhino folder is where all support files are located.
- For Windows (386) users, C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Big Tick\Rhino
- For Windows (x64) users, C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Big Tick\Rhino
- For Mac users, ~/Library/Application Support/BigTick/Rhino
After installation, the Rhino folder contains the following subdirectories:
- Additive Settings: this is where Rhino stores presets for the additive waveform editor
- Effect Settings: this is where it stores effects presets
- Envelope Settings: this is where it stores predefined envelopes.
- Presets: this is where it stores preset banks (fxb)
- Skin: this is the location of the user interface parameters.
- Tunings: this is where alternate tuning scales are stored.
- Waves: this is where external waveforms are stored.
Registering Rhino
The demonstration version of Rhino is unable to save presets and automate changes, and drops notes randomly. To remove these limitations, you must purchase a registration key. You can register Rhino online from our web site, at http://www.bigtick-audio.com
To authorize Rhino, you simply need to put your key file in the Rhino folder.
