Requirements

FormatVST3
PlatformWindows 10 and later, 64-bit
HostAny DAW that scans VST3. Developed against Ableton Live.
ListeningOur environment plug-ins require headphones. There is no studio-monitor mode and no room correction.
CPUDesigned for a single stereo instance on the master bus. 48 kHz is the comfortable rate; 96 kHz with very small buffers is the expensive corner.

Installing

01

System folder

Copy the .vst3 bundle into C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. This normally needs elevated rights, then a rescan in the host.

02

Custom folder

If that path is not writable, point the host at a folder you own. In Ableton Live: Preferences → Plug-Ins → VST3 Plug-In Custom Folder. Live scans it alongside the system folders.

03

Unsigned installers

Our installers are not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run. The plug-in itself loads fine unsigned; only the installer is affected.

04

Saved sessions

While a plug-in is pre-1.0, parameter IDs may still move. A version bump can mean a saved session does not restore exactly. We say so in the release notes when it happens.

Getting help

Email kaverndsp@gmail.com with the host, the sample rate, and what you expected to hear.

That last part matters more than it sounds. Most reports about our environment plug-ins are about a difference between what the model renders and what the listener expected a field to sound like, and both halves of that are useful to us.
