+# Python Wrapper for Voicemeeter API
+
+This package offers a Python interface for the Voicemeeter Remote C API.
+
+For an outline of past/future changes refer to: [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md)
+
+## Tested against
+
+-   Basic 1.0.8.2
+-   Banana 2.0.6.2
+-   Potato 3.0.2.2
+
+## Requirements
+
+-   [Voicemeeter](https://voicemeeter.com/)
+-   Python 3.11 or greater
+
+## Installation
+
+### `Pip`
+
+Install voicemeeter-api package from your console
+
+`pip install voicemeeter-api`
+
+
+## `Use`
+
+Simplest use case, use a context manager to request a Remote class of a kind.
+
+Login and logout are handled for you in this scenario.
+
+#### `__main__.py`
+
+```python
+import voicemeeterlib
+
+
+class ManyThings:
+    def __init__(self, vm):
+        self.vm = vm
+
+    def things(self):
+        self.vm.strip[0].label = "podmic"
+        self.vm.strip[0].mute = True
+        print(
+            f"strip 0 ({self.vm.strip[0].label}) has been set to {self.vm.strip[0].mute}"
+        )
+
+    def other_things(self):
+        info = (
+            f"bus 3 gain has been set to {self.vm.bus[3].gain}",
+            f"bus 4 eq has been set to {self.vm.bus[4].eq}",
+        )
+        self.vm.bus[3].gain = -6.3
+        self.vm.bus[4].eq = True
+        print("\n".join(info))
+
+
+def main():
+    with voicemeeterlib.api(kind_id) as vm:
+        do = ManyThings(vm)
+        do.things()
+        do.other_things()
+
+        # set many parameters at once
+        vm.apply(
+            {
+                "strip-2": {"A1": True, "B1": True, "gain": -6.0},
+                "bus-2": {"mute": True},
+                "button-0": {"state": True},
+                "vban-in-0": {"on": True},
+                "vban-out-1": {"name": "streamname"},
+            }
+        )
+
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    kind_id = "banana"
+
+    main()
+```
+
+Otherwise you must remember to call `vm.login()`, `vm.logout()` at the start/end of your code.
+
+## `kind_id`
+
+Pass the kind of Voicemeeter as an argument. kind_id may be:
+
+-   `basic`
+-   `banana`
+-   `potato`
+
+## `Available commands`
+
+### Channels (strip/bus)
+
+The following properties exist for audio channels.
+
+-   `mono`: boolean
+-   `mute`: boolean
+-   `gain`: float, from -60 to 12
+-   `mc`, `k`: boolean
+-   `comp`, `gate`: float, from 0 to 10
+-   `limit`: int, from -40 to 12
+-   `A1 - A5`, `B1 - B3`: boolean
+-   `eq`: boolean
+-   `label`: string
+-   `device`: string
+-   `sr`: int
+
+example:
+
+```python
+vm.strip[3].gain = 3.7
+print(strip[0].label)
+
+vm.bus[4].mono = true
+```
+
+### Macrobuttons
+
+Three modes defined: state, stateonly and trigger.
+
+-   `state`: boolean
+-   `stateonly`: boolean
+-   `trigger`: boolean
+
+example:
+
+```python
+vm.button[37].state = true
+vm.button[55].trigger = false
+```
+
+### Recorder
+
+The following methods are Available
+
+-   `play()`
+-   `stop()`
+-   `pause()`
+-   `record()`
+-   `ff()`
+-   `rew()`
+    The following properties accept boolean values.
+-   `loop`: boolean
+-   `A1 - A5`: boolean
+-   `B1 - A3`: boolean
+    Load accepts a string:
+-   `load`: string
+
+example:
+
+```python
+vm.recorder.play()
+vm.recorder.stop()
+
+# Enable loop play
+vm.recorder.loop = True
+
+# Disable recorder out channel B2
+vm.recorder.B2 = False
+
+# filepath as raw string
+vm.recorder.load(r'C:\music\mytune.mp3')
+```
+
+### VBAN
+
+-   `vm.vban.enable()` `vm.vban.disable()` Turn VBAN on or off
+
+For each vban in/out stream the following properties are defined:
+
+-   `on`: boolean
+-   `name`: string
+-   `ip`: string
+-   `port`: int, range from 1024 to 65535
+-   `sr`: int, (11025, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000, 44100, 48000, 64000, 88200, 96000)
+-   `channel`: int, from 1 to 8
+-   `bit`: int, 16 or 24
+-   `quality`: int, from 0 to 4
+-   `route`: int, from 0 to 8
+
+SR, channel and bit are defined as readonly for instreams. Attempting to write to those parameters will throw an error. They are read and write for outstreams.
+
+example:
+
+```python
+# turn VBAN on
+vm.vban.enable()
+
+# turn on vban instream 0
+vm.vban.instream[0].on = True
+
+# set bit property for outstream 3 to 24
+vm.vban.outstream[3].bit = 24
+```
+
+### Command
+
+Certain 'special' commands are defined by the API as performing actions rather than setting values. The following methods are available:
+
+-   `show()` : Bring Voiceemeter GUI to the front
+-   `shutdown()` : Shuts down the GUI
+-   `restart()` : Restart the audio engine
+
+The following properties are write only and accept boolean values.
+
+-   `showvbanchat`: boolean
+-   `lock`: boolean
+
+example:
+
+```python
+vm.command.restart()
+vm.command.showvbanchat = true
+```
+
+### Multiple parameters
+
+-   `apply`
+    Set many strip/bus/macrobutton/vban parameters at once, for example:
+
+```python
+vm.apply(
+    {
+        "strip-2": {"A1": True, "B1": True, "gain": -6.0},
+        "bus-2": {"mute": True},
+        "button-0": {"state": True},
+        "vban-in-0": {"on": True},
+        "vban-out-1": {"name": "streamname"},
+    }
+)
+```
+
+Or for each class you may do:
+
+```python
+vm.strip[0].apply(mute: true, gain: 3.2, A1: true)
+vm.vban.outstream[0].apply(on: true, name: 'streamname', bit: 24)
+```
+
+## `Base Module`
+
+### Remote class
+
+Access to lower level Getters and Setters are provided with these functions:
+
+-   `vm.get(param, is_string=false)`: For getting the value of any parameter. Set string to true if getting a property value expected to return a string.
+-   `vm.set(param, value)`: For setting the value of any parameter.
+
+Access to lower level polling functions are provided with these functions:
+
+-   `vm.pdirty()`: Returns true if a parameter has been updated.
+-   `vm.mdirty()`: Returns true if a macrobutton has been updated.
+-   `vm.ldirty()`: Returns true if a level has been updated.
+
+example:
+
+```python
+vm.get('Strip[2].Mute')
+vm.set('Strip[4].Label', 'stripname')
+vm.set('Strip[0].Gain', -3.6)
+```
+
+## Config Files
+
+`vm.apply_config('config')`
+
+You may load config files in TOML format.
+Three example profiles have been included with the package. Remember to save
+current settings before loading a profile. To set one you may do:
+
+```python
+import voicemeeterlib
+with voicemeeterlib.api('banana') as vm:
+    vm.apply_profile('config')
+```
+
+will load a config file at configs/banana/config.toml for Voicemeeter Banana.
+
+### Run tests
+
+To run all tests:
+
+```
+pytest -v
+```
+
