Three systems.
One clear path.

Windows and Linux packages are ready to use. On macOS, the supplied builder compiles the synth locally and produces a Universal VST3 and Standalone application.

Compiles on the Mac
01 / WINDOWS x64

Extract, copy, rescan.

  1. 01
    Download the Windows ZIP

    Choose the Windows x64 package on the synth page. It contains both the Standalone application and the complete VST3 bundle.

  2. 02
    Extract the whole archive

    Do not move files out of the .vst3 bundle and keep its internal Contents directory intact.

  3. 03
    Copy the VST3 bundle

    Copy the complete .vst3 directory to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ Windows may ask for administrator permission.

  4. 04
    Rescan or launch Standalone

    Restart the DAW and run its VST3 rescan if needed. The .exe in the Standalone folder can run without installation.

02 / LINUX x86_64

A portable native package.

  1. 01
    Extract the TAR.GZ

    tar -xzf UWdeVST_*_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz

  2. 02
    Install the VST3 for your user

    mkdir -p ~/.vst3
    cp -R VST3/UWdeVST_*.vst3 ~/.vst3/

  3. 03
    Run the Standalone build

    ./Standalone/UWdeVST_*
    If a file transfer removed the executable bit, run chmod +x Standalone/UWdeVST_*.

  4. 04
    Check host compatibility

    The packages were built in an Ubuntu 22.04 Docker environment. They require a compatible 64-bit Linux runtime plus the graphical and audio libraries used by the host DAW.

03 / macOS 11+

Build locally in one launch.

The download is a builder, not a precompiled Mac plug-in.

It produces a local ad-hoc signed Universal binary. It is not Apple-notarized and must not be redistributed.

  1. 01
    Extract on the Mac

    Download and extract the macOS Builder TAR.GZ. Keep every included source, JUCE, asset and checksum file together.

  2. 02
    Open BUILD_MAC.command

    Double-click the launcher. If Gatekeeper blocks the first launch, Control-click the file and choose Open once.

  3. 03
    Let the builder prepare its tools

    Apple Command Line Tools are required; the official installer opens if they are missing. No Homebrew, sudo or manual Terminal build is required. A pinned portable CMake 3.31.12 is downloaded and SHA-256 checked only when needed.

  4. 04
    Install the generated VST3

    Finder opens on output/<UTC timestamp>/. Extract the generated macOS_universal.zip, then copy its .vst3 bundle to: ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/

  5. 05
    Rescan the DAW

    The output targets macOS 11 or later and contains both Apple Silicon arm64 and Intel x86_64 architectures.

THE FOUR RELEASED SYNTHS

All official packages.

INTEGRITY & LICENSE

Verify before installing.

GitHub publishes the SHA-256 digest and exact size of every asset. Linux packages include BUILD_INFO.txt. The macOS builder verifies PACKAGE_SHA256SUMS before and after compilation and writes its own build receipt and logs.

Private compilation of the strictly unchanged source is allowed under the UWdeVST license. Modification and redistribution are not permitted.
