Installation
------

Step 1 — Copy the files
------

VST3 plug-in:
Use VST3 with DAWs that load VST3 plug-ins, such as Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One, REAPER, Bitwig Studio, FL Studio, and Waveform.
Copy Neural Analog.vst3 to ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
The same installed file exposes Neural Analog as both an audio effect and an instrument.
Use this user Library location only. Installing another copy in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 can create duplicate host registrations.

Step 2 — macOS security warning, if one appears
------

macOS may show a first-launch confirmation because the software was downloaded from the Internet, or a DAW may trigger a security check while scanning a new plug-in.

If macOS blocks Neural Analog:
1. Try to open the app, or let your DAW scan the plug-in once.
2. Open System Settings.
3. Go to Privacy & Security.
4. Scroll down to the Security section.
5. If macOS shows that Neural Analog was blocked, click Open Anyway or Allow Anyway.
6. Confirm the prompt, then open the app again or restart your DAW and rescan plug-ins.


Step 3 — Restart, rescan, and enjoy
------

Restart your DAW or plug-in host after installing or updating a plug-in.
Rescan plug-ins if Neural Analog does not appear automatically.
Load Neural Analog as a standalone app, VST3, AU, or AAX depending on your install.

Enjoy!

Update to a newer version — copy/paste commands
------

Close Neural Analog and every DAW or plug-in host before updating.
Extract the new download, open Terminal in that extracted folder, and copy/paste the commands for the file included in your download.
These commands replace the previous copy.

VST3 plug-in:
mkdir -p "$HOME/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3"
rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Neural Analog.vst3"
ditto "./Neural Analog.vst3" "$HOME/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Neural Analog.vst3"

After updating, reopen your DAW and force a plug-in rescan if the previous version is still shown.
Most other supported DAWs use VST3 (.vst3).
