🔹 Download and unzip the ZIP file.
🔹 Copy the two files into the following folder:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/

⚠️ Important: this is the Library folder at the root of your Mac, not the one in your user folder. To access it easily, open the Finder, press ⌘ + Shift + G, paste the path above, and confirm.

🔹 Restart your DAW.

The plugin should then appear in your VST3 plugin list. If it does not, run a plugin scan from your DAW.
