Get the plugins
01 / Windows

VST3 setup

The Windows editions are 64-bit VST3 plugins.

Install the plugin

Download and unzip your plugin package. Move the complete .vst3 bundle into this folder:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

Keep the bundle intact; don’t move files out of its folder.

Scan in your DAW

Restart your audio host. If the plugin isn’t listed, open its plug-in manager and run a VST3 rescan. Look under the Tonen Audio or effect category.

Insert it on an audio or instrument track to start using it.

02 / macOS

AU + VST3 setup

The macOS packages include AU and VST3 formats. Install the format supported by your DAW, or install both.

Audio Unit (AU)

Unzip the package and move the complete .component bundle here:

~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

The tilde means your user folder. In Finder, choose Go → Go to Folder and paste the path.

VST3

Move the complete .vst3 bundle into:

~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3

Then restart your DAW. Run its Audio Units or VST3 scan if the plugin doesn’t appear.

03 / Quick fixes

Not showing up?

Check the format and folder

Make sure the plugin bundle is in the matching system folder and your DAW supports that format. Keep the entire .vst3 or .component bundle together.

Restart and rescan

Quit and reopen your DAW, then run a full plugin rescan from its plug-in manager. Some hosts separate effects by manufacturer or effect type.
