vst3 and clap · macos, windows and linux · free and open source

bambi is in alpha: expect things to change between releases, and please report what breaks. The builds are not signed yet, which on macOS and Windows takes one extra step, below.

macOS

download for macOSapple silicon and intel · vst3 and clap

  1. Unpack the zip and copy the plugins into your plugin folders:
    VST3/*.vst3~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
    CLAP/*.clap~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/
    ~/Library is hidden in Finder: choose Go › Go to Folder…, then type the path.
  2. These alpha builds are not signed. macOS blocks unsigned plugins that came from the internet, so remove the quarantine flag once, in Terminal:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/bambi*.vst3 ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/bambi*.clap
  3. Restart your host and let it rescan its plugins.

Windows

  1. Unpack the zip and copy the plugins into your plugin folders (this needs administrator rights):
    VST3/*.vst3C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
    CLAP/*.clapC:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\
  2. These alpha builds are not signed. Windows may warn about them when you unpack the zip; the plugins themselves install and run normally.
  3. Restart your host and let it rescan its plugins.
