Install
Download the latest release zip from Releases and copy the plugin files into your system plugin folder.
| Format | Windows | macOS | Linux |
|---|---|---|---|
| VST3 | C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ | ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/ | ~/.vst3/ |
| AU | n/a | ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ | n/a |
After copying, rescan plugins in your DAW.
macOS first launch: release builds are unsigned, so macOS may report INTERSECT as "damaged" on first launch. Clear quarantine flags from a Terminal:
xattr -cr ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/INTERSECT.vst3
xattr -cr ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/INTERSECT.component
xattr -cr /Applications/INTERSECT.app
For per-platform release contents, ONNX Runtime bundles for stem separation, and GPU runtime requirements, see the Installation guide.
