      • Operating system: macOS Sierra, macOS High Sierra, macOS Mojave, macOS Catalina, macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey, macOS Ventura, macOS Sonoma, macOS Sequoia, macOS Tahoe.

      • These plug-ins have been compiled using Universal 2 application binaries for both Intel and Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5) to run on both Intel x86-64 and ARM64-based Macintosh computers, taking advantage of the native power and performance of the new Apple silicon-based Macs, while continuing to support Intel-based Macs. In all cases, we always recommend that you try the free trial version of the software.

      • The Audio Unit Component, VST and VST3 plug-ins require of a compatible host, digital audio workstation (DAW) or MIDI sequencer that supports Audio Units, VST or VST3 technology. They can be ‘plugged in’ to process audio from applications such as Logic Pro, GarageBand, MainStage, Cubase, Ableton Live, REAPER, Studio One Professional, Ardour, and Digital Performer, among others.

      • MIDI controller device: A MIDI controller is required to play this plug-in instrument. The most common type of device in this class is a keyboard controller. After launching the Digital Audio Workstation or your MIDI host application, be sure to select the appropriate MIDI device before attempting to play your MIDI controller.

      • Alternatively, are available the EXS24 and KONTAKT sample libraries in .exs / .nki formats.
