Get the DigMusiK plugin

Why your computer asks you to approve DigMusiK. We haven't had the plugin signed by Apple and Microsoft yet: that means sending every new version to them and waiting days each time, and while we're testing we're fixing things too often for that. So the first time, your computer asks you to confirm you want to open it. It's a one-minute step, explained below and in Installing DigMusiK on Mac and Windows (with where to find it in your DAW).

VST3, AU and CLAP for macOS, VST3 and CLAP for Windows, free on every plan. CLAP works in Bitwig, REAPER, FL Studio, Studio One and other CLAP hosts. Pro Tools (AAX) is coming soon.

Installing

macOS

DigMusiK isn't signed by Apple yet, so the first time, macOS asks you to approve the installer. It takes a minute, and you only do it once. These steps are for current macOS (15 and later); they also work on 12 to 14.

  1. Download the installer above (DigMusiK-0.2.2-mac.pkg) and double-click it in your Downloads.
  2. macOS says "DigMusiK-0.2.2-mac.pkg" Not Opened (or Apple could not verify…). Press Done. Don't press Move to Bin.
  3. Open System Settings (Apple menu, top left) and choose Privacy & Security. Scroll down to Security: you'll see "DigMusiK-0.2.2-mac.pkg" was blocked to protect your Mac. Press Open Anyway, then confirm with your password or Touch ID, and press Open Anyway again.
  4. The installer opens. Close your DAW, press Continue and Install, and enter your Mac's password. It installs the VST3, the Audio Unit for Logic and GarageBand, the CLAP, and standalone DigMusiK in Applications, already approved, so macOS won't block them again.
  5. Open your DAW (rescan plug-ins if it asks). DigMusiK opens a Setup check the first time: every line should be green. In Logic, it's under Audio Units > DigMusiK.
Prefer to install by hand?

Download the zip, copy DigMusiK.vst3 to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3, DigMusiK.component to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components, DigMusiK.clap to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP and DigMusiK.app to Applications, then open Terminal, paste this and press Return (it asks for your password):

sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/DigMusiK.vst3 /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/DigMusiK.component /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/DigMusiK.clap /Applications/DigMusiK.app

Windows

  1. Download the zip above, right-click it and choose Extract All.
  2. Copy DigMusiK.vst3 into C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 (Windows asks to confirm: press Continue). For a CLAP host, copy DigMusiK.clap into C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP as well.
  3. DigMusiK.exe is standalone DigMusiK, for capturing without a DAW: put it anywhere you like. The first time you open it, Windows may say Windows protected your PC, because it isn't signed yet: press More info, then Run anyway.
  4. Open your DAW and rescan plug-ins. DigMusiK opens a Setup check the first time: every line should be green.

Signing in

  1. Open the DigMusiK plugin on any track in your DAW and press Sign in.
  2. It shows an 8-letter code. Go to app.digmusik.com/signatures/plugin/link and type it in (spaces and capitals don't matter).
  3. Your library appears in the plugin. It keeps working offline for up to 14 days between checks.
