Installation guide

Installing Your Plugin

Our plugins come as a VST3 plug-in (for your DAW) and a Standalone app (no DAW needed). Mac users also get an AU (Audio Unit) version for Logic and GarageBand.

You now get an installer instead of a zip. Double-click it and it puts every file where your DAW looks for it - nothing to unzip, nothing to drag.

Every release is code-signed on Windows and signed and notarized by Apple on macOS, so it installs and opens cleanly with no security warnings. You can also verify any download against the VirusTotal report linked on its release page.

The first time you open the plugin, it asks for the license key from your purchase email - paste it and click ACTIVATE (internet required the first time), and it works offline after that.

Windows

Download <Plugin>-Windows.msi, then:

Double-click it and follow the installer
Tick Standalone if you want the app as well as the plug-in (the VST3 is always installed)
Rescan plugins in your DAW

The VST3 goes to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. If you keep your plug-ins somewhere else, use the Browse button on that screen.

macOS

Download <Plugin>-macOS.pkg, then:

Double-click it and follow the installer
Enter your Mac password when it asks
Rescan plugins in your DAW

It installs:

<Plugin>.vst3 → /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
<Plugin>.component → /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
<Plugin>.app → /Applications

These are the shared folders, so every account on the Mac gets the plug-ins. (In Finder, use Go → Go to Folder… and paste /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/ if you want to check.)

Activating your license

Open the plugin → paste the license key from your email → ACTIVATE (internet required once) → works offline afterward.

Troubleshooting: "No internet" → connect and retry · "Activation limit reached" → the key has hit its device limit, contact support · Plugin not showing up → rescan in your DAW. In FL Studio, turn on Verify plugins and Rescan plugins with errors before you scan, then star the plugin in the Plugin Manager so it appears in the + menu.
