Installation, System Requirements and Licence Help
System requirements: macOS
macOS 11 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel. A signed, notarised installer places the plugin in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3. No Gatekeeper warnings and no dragging files around.
System requirements: Windows
Windows 10 or later, 64-bit. The Windows version ships as the plugin in a ZIP. Unpack it into your VST3 folder and your DAW finds it on the next scan. No installer, and no security warning to click past.
Hosts
Tested in Cubase, Ableton Live and FL Studio. Any VST3 host that loads instrument plugins will run it. The Audio Unit version for Logic Pro is in development. In FL Studio, chords go in as an exported MIDI file, see below.
Disk and memory
Under 100 MB installed. No sample library and no streaming from disk. The plugin writes MIDI, it does not play audio.
Installation
Getting it running
Install it
On macOS a signed installer puts the plugin where your DAW expects it. On Windows you unpack one folder from a ZIP into your VST3 directory.
Rescan in your DAW
Your host finds it on the next plugin scan. If it does not appear, trigger a rescan in the plug-in manager.
Sign in once
Open the plugin and enter the email and key from your order. That unlocks it on this machine and lets it tell you when an update is out.
FL Studio
Getting your chords in from FL Studio
In Cubase you drag a part from the timeline straight into the plugin window. Cubase writes a MIDI file on the fly and the plugin reads it. FL Studio cannot drag Piano roll notes out of the program as a file, so the way in takes one extra step. Getting the result back out works as usual.
Open the chords
Open the clip with your chord progression in the Piano roll.
Export as MIDI
In the Piano roll menu (the arrow at the top left) choose File → Export as MIDI file… and save it, for example into a folder called Chords.
Drag it in
Drag the saved .mid file from Finder, or Explorer on Windows, into the plugin window. It is read exactly as it is in Cubase.
Quicker: from the FL browser
Add the Chords folder to FL's browser under Options → File settings, then drag the file into the plugin window from there. No detour through Finder or Explorer.
Or skip the import
Build the progression inside the plugin with Generate Chords and adjust it in the chord lane. Then there is nothing to import at all.
Back into FL Studio
Drag Pattern to DAW and Drag Chords to DAW work as in any other host: drag the button onto the Piano roll or the Playlist and FL places the notes on the channel.

Questions
Before you ask
Does it make any sound?
No. It writes MIDI and sends it on. The Play button previews the pattern through whatever instrument is next in your chain, so your Kontakt library or your piano or your string patch makes the sound. The part is new, the tone stays yours.
Can I use the output commercially?
Yes. Anything the plugin writes is yours, in any release, with no royalty and no credit required.
How do I get updates?
The plugin tells you. When a new version is out, a line appears in the window with what changed and a link to the installer. Nothing downloads behind your back.
Does it need internet?
Once, to activate. After that it runs in an air-gapped studio without complaint. The update check fails quietly when there is no connection.
Can I return it?
No. The licence key is issued the moment you pay, so all sales are final, as is standard for downloadable instruments. Anything you are unsure about, ask before you buy.
