Requirements - Apple Silicon Mac, macOS 12 or newer, native arm64 DAW. - Hosted instruments must also support arm64. Intel-only plug-ins and running the DAW under Rosetta are not supported. - Includes VST3 and Audio Unit (AUv2). No CLAP or standalone application. Installation - one line in Terminal (no security prompts) 1. Quit your DAW. 2. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities), paste this line, press Return: curl -fsSL https://sequencer.amanita.music/install-macos.sh | bash It downloads this same package, checks its SHA-256, and runs the installer described below. Nothing needs to be allowed in System Settings. 3. Open your DAW and rescan plug-ins if necessary. Installation - from this ZIP 1. Quit your DAW and extract the ZIP completely. Keep the installer beside Amanita Sequencer.vst3 and Amanita Sequencer.component. 2. Double-click Install Amanita Sequencer.command and follow its messages. 3. Open your DAW and rescan plug-ins if necessary. If macOS refuses to open the downloaded installer, either use the Terminal line above, or open Terminal, type /bin/bash followed by a space, drag Install Amanita Sequencer.command from Finder into the Terminal window and press Return. System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway also works. Only run an installer from a package you trust. What the installer does - Installs for your user account only, without administrator access: ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Amanita Sequencer.vst3 ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Amanita Sequencer.component - Checks both bundles (identity, version, arm64, code signature) before touching anything, and restores the previous installation on any error. - Removes only the com.apple.quarantine attribute from these two bundles. It does not change any macOS security setting. - Keeps a previously installed version as a backup and prints its location. To restore it, quit your DAW, move the current bundle elsewhere, then move VST3.backup or Components.backup into the plug-in folder and rename it to Amanita Sequencer.vst3 or Amanita Sequencer.component. Do not merge the old and new bundle folders. - If an installation was interrupted by a shutdown or force quit, a retry reports the recovery folder and stops. Keep those files, restore a previous plug-in from its previous/ folder if you need it, then remove the reported pending file and the empty lock folder before retrying. Manual installation Copy the whole Amanita Sequencer.vst3 bundle into ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/ and the whole Amanita Sequencer.component bundle into ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/. macOS or your DAW may then block the downloaded bundles; the installer avoids that. After installing Add Amanita Sequencer as an instrument, choose an installed synth or drop an audio sample onto a track, enable steps, and start the DAW transport. If the Audio Unit is still missing, restart your Mac and scan again. Security and preview status This build is ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID signed or Apple-notarized. Do not disable system-wide security protections. The included BUILD-REPORT.txt states exactly which checks were performed. Before updating a project, keep a backup. State schema v39 is used by this version; it can load schema v20 onwards, but 0.0.9 and older cannot load projects re-saved by 0.1.0. Third-party synths and samples are not included. Uninstall by removing the two installed bundles, with your DAW closed.
