Installation

Download the latest installer for your platform. F

Each installer will ask you to read and accept the beta test agreement before installing.

What are the demo limitations?

Windows

  1. Download the Windows installer zip and extract ALL files to a folder first — do not run the installer from inside the zip. Windows may appear to let you run it from inside the archive, but the installer needs the other files alongside it to work correctly.
  2. Double-click Install RhythmEcho.vbs
  3. Accept the beta test agreement
  4. Click Yes when Windows asks for administrator permission
  5. The installer copies RhythmEcho.vst3 to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
  6. Restart your DAW — RhythmEcho will appear in your VST3 plugin list

macOS

RhythmEcho installs as both a VST3 and an Audio Unit (AU)., both signed for easy installation

  1. Download the macOS .dmg and open it
  2. Double-click Install RhythmEcho.app and follow the prompts
  3. Enter your Mac password when prompted
  4. The installer copies the plugin to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/ and /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
  5. Restart your DAW — RhythmEcho will appear in both your VST3 and Audio Units plugin lists

Linux

  1. Download the Linux zip and unzip it
  2. Open a terminal in the unzipped folder
  3. Run: ./install_rhythmecho.sh
  4. Accept the beta test agreement at the prompt (type y)
  5. The installer will place RhythmEcho.vst3 in ~/.vst3/ (no sudo needed) or fall back to /usr/lib/vst3/ if that fails
  6. Restart your DAW

ARM builds

there are several ARM builds for various platforms. These are untested but as far as I know work fine, and if you are using these you probably already know what to do with the files.

Having trouble? This is a one-person project — if something in the install process doesn't match what you're seeing, open an issue and it'll get sorted out.
