changed "meter type" to "sonification type"

AccessiblePeakMeter is an audio processor that sonifies the level of the input
audio by adding a pitch-modulated sine wave on top of it, and so makes the 
peak meter gauge accessible to visually impaired users.

AccessiblePeakMeter comes as a VST plugin for Windows (32/64) and Mac as well as AU plugin for Mac. 

The plugin was developed in 2014/2015 at Queen Mary University of London as part of the 
Design Patterns for Inclusive Collaboration research project ( http://depic.eecs.qmul.ac.uk ) 
led by Dr. Nick Bryan-Kinns. All the coding was done by Fiore Martin. 

The code uses the WDL / IPlug - Oli Larkin Edition (WDL-OL) framework, available
at https://github.com/olilarkin/wdl-ol and it shares its license. 
The license and more information about the framework are reported below.
The code of AccessiblePeakMeter was started from the IPlugMultiTarget project in WDL-OL's IPlugExamples directory. 

The WDL-OL specific commit used for development is available here: https://github.com/olilarkin/wdl-ol/commit/bfe87d2c4297d003f2475dc22d460440e5e1b4fa
The whole framework code of this commit is available as a zip file (WDL-OL.zip) in the Downloads section of this repository and it differs slightly from the original WDL-OL version.

The modification can be reproduced from the original WDL-OL commit by applying the following patch to WDL/IPlug/IControl.cpp

In order to build AccessiblePeakMeter, extract WDL_OL.zip or clone WDL-OL from
github, then place the code versioned in this repository into WDL-OL/IPlugExamples/AccessiblePeakMeter.

WDL / IPlug - Oli Larkin Edition

IPlug is a simple-to-use C++ framework for developing cross platform audio plugins and targeting multiple plugin APIs with the same code. Originally developed by Schwa/Cockos, IPlug has been enhanced by various contributors. IPlug depends on WDL, and that is why this project is called WDL-OL,  although most of the differences from Cockos' WDL are to do with IPlug.
This version of IPlug targets VST2, VST3, AudioUnit RTAS and AAX (Native) APIs. It can also produce standalone Windows/OSX audio/midi apps and apps for Apple's IOS devices. 

This version of WDL/IPlug shares the same license as the Cockos edition. Several of the added features are based on the work of other people. See individual source code files for any extra license information.
