Chapter 1:
Introducing Chrome Tone
Congratulations on purchasing Chrome Tone, the plug-In that brings the world of custom guitar amps, boutique
outboard gear and pedal effects inside Pro Tools.
The Chrome Tone plug-In is a collection of effects that includes distortion, compression, gating, chorus, ange, EQ, wah,
tremolo, spring reverb, and tape delay. These effects can all be used together in a single stacked conguration, or as
independent effects. All the Chrome Tone effects can share the same dsp.
The Chrome Tone effects can respond dynamically to the incoming audio, side chain audio, or various MIDI events
including MIDI note and velocity, and MIDI control data. A Dynamic section, standard on the Wah, Tremolo, and Chorus
plug-ins provides a fully controllable envelope follower to modify the effect itself (the frequency of the lters in the
Wah, the gain in the Tremolo, the delay length in the Chorus). The Auto section provides periodic modulation via a low
frequency oscillator (LFO). The LFO can be synced to MIDI beat clock in a variety of tempo derivatives. The LFO rate,
shape, and depth can be further modulated by the state of the Dynamic section. The Stack conguration has separate
Dynamic and Auto sections for each of its Wah, Tremolo, and Chorus/Delay stages.
The Chrome Tone Amp has six distortion modes for everything from light grit to full shred. Distortion Drive, Type,
and Frequency controls allow ne tuning of the distortion tone. The Amp also includes a full featured noise gate,
compression and sustain circuits, low cut lters, shelving and parametric EQ, a guitar cabinet simulator (great for direct
recording), and a reverb.
The Chrome Tone Wah has much more than the standard wah pedal offers. Three types of band pass (wah) lters are
included, plus multiple low pass, high pass, and phasor lter congurations are available with 12, 24, and 36 dB/oct
slopes. All lter congurations have selectable frequency and Q values.
The Chrome Tone Tremolo allows the mixing of the tremolo’d signal and the unaffected signal. Tremolo speed-change
tremolo affects are possible using the Dynamic and Auto sections.
The Chrome Tone Chorus section has ange and two chorus modes. In the Stack conguration, there is also an analog
delay line, up to 1 second long.
Feature List:
• Power and Flexibility: Four different effect congurations are available - Amp, Wah, Trem, and Chorus, plus an all in
one Stack conguration. Many of the Chrome Tone congurations can share the same dsp chip. There are mono,
mono to stereo, and stereo version of each conguration. See the Reference section for a complete listing of all
Chrome Tone congurations and their specications.
• Double-Precision Arithmetic: at all stages of processing.
• Chrome Tone is compatible with ProTools and other DAW applications that support TDM, RTAS, and Audiosuite plugIn formats. McDSP’s Chrome Tone plug-In operates on Mac OS X and Windows XP systems.
• Supports Digidesign’s™ ICON, Command 8, ProControl, and Control | 24, and Mackie’s™ HUI external control
surfaces.

User’s Manual
* Our XP test machines are chosen to follow the Digidesign recommended systems guide, which currently is the Dell Precision™ Workstation 670 with 2.79
GHz Xeon processor. All products are guaranteed to run on that system. Older Intel processors (i.e. Pentium III and predecessors) and AMD processors are
not officially supported, although some users have had limited success with newer AMD processors (i.e. Dual Opteron 1.79 GHZ, Athlon 64 2.20 GHz, and
Athlon 64 XP 3700). None of our XP product line will work with Pro Tools™ 5.x. Also note that our XP product line does not support MIX, although RTAS
versions will work if they exist and the rest of your system (i.e. Pro Tools™ version and processor) is compatible.

User’s Manual
Installing the Chrome Tone plug-in on Mac OS X
The Chrome Tone plug-in Package includes this manual, ReadMe and Release Notes, a folder of presets for the Chrome
Tone Plug-in, and the Chrome Tone plug-in. Two copies of the Chrome Tone Licensing Agreement are included - one
in this pdf manual and a second as a separate text le. The Chrome Tone plug-in manual requires that Adobe Acrobat
reader (or similar .pdf reader) is installed.
Both online and boxed version will come with a Chrome Tone installer that will automatically install the Chrome Tone
plug-in and its presets on your system. The authorization of the Chrome Tone plug-in is still required after running the
installer, and those steps are detailed in the following sections.
Installing the Chrome Tone plug-in and presets with the Installer:
The online version of the package has been prepared for Internet delivery, and is transmitted as a compressed le in zip
format (.zip). In Mac OS X 10.4.x, simply double click the *.zip le to unpack the installer. The boxed plug-in package
purchased at your local dealer will be on CDROM. As with the online version, these ‘physical’ versions of the Chrome
Tone plug-in package should be copied into a local folder on your system.
• Insert the McDSP ‘HD Disk,’ ‘Native Disk,’ or ‘LE Disk’ CDROM onto an available CDROM drive.
• Navigate to the Chrome Tone plug-in folder on the CDROM - the installer application is contained therein.
• Run the Chrome Tone plug-in Installer application to install (copy) the Chrome Tone plug-in, presets, and
documentation to a local folder on your system. The plug-in will be placed in the ‘Plug-Ins’ folder, and the presets
will be placed in the ‘Plug-Ins Settings’ folder.
• If a previous version of the Chrome Tone plug-in (or other HD, Native, or LE version) was already in the plug-ins
folder, it will automatically be updated (or replaced) by the installer.
Re-installing the Chrome Tone plug-in presets manually:
In you wish to restore the factory default presets, it may be useful to know how to manually re-install only the presets.
• Go to the ‘plug-in Settings’ folder:
• Root->Library->Application Support->Digidesign->plug-in Settings
• If Pro Tools™ has not already done so for you, create a folder called ‘McDSP<space>Chrome Tone’.
• Place a copy of the folder from the Chrome Tone plug-in package called ‘Presets’ into the ‘McDSP<space>Chrome
Tone’ folder. The presets are now viewable (after restarting Pro Tools™) from the settings popup menu for an
Chrome Tone plug-in.
Note it may be necessary to re-start Pro Tools™ in order for the newly added ‘Presets’ folder to be viewable from the
Settings popup inside the Chrome Tone plug-in window toolbar.

the boxed and online versions the Chrome Tone plug-in executable le will automatically install the plug-in and its
presets on your system. Double click the le to launch the installer which will install the Chrome Tone plug-in, presets,
and documentation. At any time after installation, you may access the documentation from the Windows ‘Start Menu’
under the ‘McDSP’ group.
Authorization of the Chrome Tone plug-in is still required after running the installer, and those steps are detailed in
the following sections. Note that after installing new versions of the PACE iLok drivers with the Chrome Tone plug-in
installer, you will be prompted by the Chrome Tone plug-in installer to reboot your system. If you are not prompted by
the installer, there is no need to reboot.
• Insert the McDSP ‘HD Disk,’ ‘Native Disk,’ or ‘LE Disk’ CDROM onto an available CDROM drive.
• Navigate to the Chrome Tone plug-in folder on the CDROM - the installer application is contained therein.

Authorizing the Chrome Tone plug-in
Authorizing with a pre-programmed iLok Smart Key
McDSP bundles such as the Classic Pack come with a preprogrammed iLok Smart Key. Simply insert the iLok into any
available USB port on your computer. The iLok’s indicator light will
illuminate when the iLok has a proper connection. The plug-ins
included in the bundle require no further authorization steps. As
with any iLok on your system it is recommended that your iLok be
registered and synchronized with iLok.com The Chrome Tone plugin requires that a valid authorization is present on your iLok USB
Smart Key. With a boxed copy, this authorization is provided to you
on a plastic License Card (about the size of a credit card), with a
small punch-out iLok License Chip. After being separated from the
License Card, this iLok License Chip is inserted into the ‘key slot’ of
the iLok USB Smart Key in order to transfer the authorization from
the License Card to the iLok USB Smart Key. Note each Chrome
Tone License Card holds ONE Chrome Tone plug-in authorization.
The following instructions detail this process
Important Note: The Authorization Wizard will prompt the user to
register their iLok USB Smart Key at iLok.com. iLok.com is a service
offered by PACE Anti-Piracy, Inc. and this step is NOT REQUIRED by
McDSP to complete the authorization of the Chrome Tone plug-in.
If you choose to register your iLok USB Smart Key at iLok.com, care
must be taken to record your ilok.com account information (i.e.
write down your User ID and Password in a safe place). If your iLok.
com account information is lost, the iLok cannot be registered to
another account and unfortunately there is nothing McDSP can do
to help you. See iLok.com for more details about the benefits of
using PACE’s iLok.com service.

Authorizing the Chrome Tone plug-in from a License Card
with the Authorization Wizard:
The Authorization Wizard is used to install an authorization from
a License Card to the iLok USB Smart Key. To use the Authorization
Wizard for the Chrome Tone plug-in, perform the following steps:
• Insert your iLok USB Smart Key into a working USB port.
• On a Mac :Locate and launch the ‘Chrome Tone Authorizer’
application found in the ‘Authorize’ folder in the plug-in
package on the CDROM.
• On Windows XP, just launch Pro Tools™ to authorize the Chrome
Tone plug-in.
Note: When authorizing the Chrome Tone plug-in on Windows
XP with a new iLok USB Smart Key, you must insert the iLok USB
Smart Key and complete the Windows ‘Found New Hardware
Wizard’ before attempting to authorize the plug-in.
• Select the ‘Authorize’ button to be guided through the
Authorization Wizard.
Note: Selecting the ‘Quit’ button at any time will not authorize
the plug-in or allow it to be used for a trial period. If ‘Quit’ is
selected, the Chrome Tone plug-in will not be available in the
Pro Tools™ insert menu.
• The Chrome Tone plug-in requires that the user personalize

their copy of the plug-in. A dialog is displayed soliciting this
information.
Note that the product registration card enclosed with the plugin MUST ALSO be filled out as well and returned to McDSP
via mail (or fax to 707-220-0994). This additional mail-in
registration will entitle the user to future upgrades and advance
information from McDSP.
• Once the plug-in is personalized, click the ‘Next’ button to
continue.
• Check the ‘Use License Card’ box and press the ‘Next’ button.
Note: Although the Authorization Wizard may appear to allow
authorization by challenge/response, that method is currently
NOT SUPPORTED by the Chrome Tone plug-in.
• Separate the small punch-out iLok License Chip (the removable
metal and plastic tab) from the License Card by pushing the
cutout up and out with your thumb. Do not force your nger
downward.
• The iLok License Chip may now be inserted into the ‘key slot’
of the iLok USB Smart Key. If the iLok USB Smart Key does not
appear to be present on the system, ensure the iLok USB Smart
Key is connected to a valid USB port and that the green LED is
lit inside the iLok USB Smart Key. To insert the License Chip into
the iLok USB Smart Key, orient the iLok USB Smart Key’s USB end
to the left, and the loop end to the upper right. Insert the metal
chip end of the iLok License Chip (the License Chip tab should
have the metal chip side facing up towards you, not down). You
should be able to visually verify that the License Chip makes
contact with the iLok USB Smart Key metal card reader.
• The green LED in the iLok USB Smart Key will light when it is
ready to receive and transmit data.
• Upon inserting the iLok License Chip, a message will be displayed
indicating the authorization was installed successfully. Click ‘Ok’
in the message dialog.
• Once the authorization is installed on the iLok USB Smart Key,
a dialog is displayed prompting the user to register their iLok
USB Smart Key at the www.ilok.com website. The iLok.com
website was created to allow users to manage the software
authorizations on their iLok USB Smart Key. THIS STEP IS NOT
REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE AUTHORIZATION OF MCDSP
SOFTWARE. The registration of the iLok USB Smart Key to an
iLok.com account can be bypassed by clearing the checkbox. The
user may also choose to not be asked to register again. While
iLok.com is a great resource for the iLok USB Smart Key, your
iLok USB Smart Key may only be linked to one iLok.com account.
That is, an individual iLok USB Smart Key can only be registered
to one account at a time--but a single account can have multiple
iLok USB Smart Keys. If the iLok.com account information is lost,
the iLok USB Smart Key cannot be registered to another account.
However, an iLok USB Smart Key may be transferred between
accounts if all the authorizations have been transferred off the
iLok USB Smart Key. Register the iLok USB Smart Key to an iLok.
