Support
Per-DAW compatibility for each plugin is listed on the plugin's product page under DAW support.
Install
M4L (.amxd) — drag the file into Ableton Live's MIDI Effect rack on a MIDI track. Live treats Max for Live devices as first-class; nothing else to configure.
VST3 / AU / CLAP — native builds currently
ship for macOS only (Windows / Linux are
not supported yet). Each release bundles two install
formats: a .pkg installer and a manual-placement
.dmg.
.pkg (recommended) —
double-click to launch. The installer places bundles into
the standard system folders automatically. Rescan in your
DAW after install.
.dmg — for installing to a
custom location, or skipping the installer. Open the DMG and
copy the bundle into one of the standard folders below
(or any path your DAW scans), then rescan:
- VST3:
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/ - AU:
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ - CLAP:
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/
MIDI effects are slotted differently from audio effects in most DAWs. Notes per DAW:
- Ableton Live — uses the M4L build. Live doesn't accept third-party VST3 / AU in its MIDI Effect rack.
- Logic Pro — uses the AU build, slotted as an AU MIDI FX on a software-instrument track.
- Bitwig Studio — uses VST3 or CLAP in the Note FX slot.
- Reaper — after install, rescan in Preferences → Plug-ins, then place VST3 or CLAP on a track's FX chain before the instrument.
- Cubase / Nuendo, FL Studio — currently unsupported. Host design has no third-party VST3 MIDI Effect routing path.
- Studio One — currently unsupported. Note FX restricts to PreSonus-native MIDI plugins, so third-party VST3 / CLAP MIDI effects have no host-side routing path.
Update
All version updates are free, including for paid plugins.
Free plugins — re-download from the plugin's GitHub Releases page. Each product's Download link on its product page points at the current release.
Paid plugins — the download link in your purchase email always points to the latest binary, so re-downloading from the original email gives you the current version.
Contact
For a bug in a specific plugin, the fastest path is the plugin's GitHub Issues page (linked from each plugin's product page). Public issues are easier for other users to find later.
For anything else — license questions, paid-product issues that need im9 directly, general inquiries — use the contact form.
