Install instructions

Instructions on how to install the included VST plug-ins.

MacOS (x86) users

MacOS users can simply run the installer(s).

For MacOS versions 10.15 and above, you may need to give explicit permission for the installer to run via Settings->Security->“Open anyway”. In rare cases, you may need to use the following command in the terminal for each plug-in:

sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/sparta_ambiBIN.vst
...
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/sparta_spreader.vst
... etc.

The installer places the VST/LV2/VST3s in the following respective folders:

/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2/
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/

To uninstall, simply delete these files.

Windows (x86) users

Windows users can simply run the installer(s).

The installer places the VST/LV2/VST3s in the following respective folders:

C:/Program Files/Steinberg/VSTPlugins
C:/Program Files/Common Files/LV2
C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST3

And also installs the following files:

/Windows/System32/saf_mkl_custom_lp64.dll

To uninstall, simply delete these files.

Linux (x86) users

Linux users can download, unzip and copy the plugins into any folder that is scanned by the VST/LV2/VST3 host. For example:

~/.vst
~/.lv2
~/.vst3

The following included files must then also be copied into one of these two folders:

/usr/lib/libsaf_mkl_custom_lp64.so
/usr/local/lib/libsaf_mkl_custom_lp64.so

To uninstall, simply delete these files.
