Install

Download the latest release zip for your system from Releases (Windows and Linux come in x64 and arm64; macOS in arm64 and x64) 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.

Support / Known limitations

• INTERSECT project recall stores sample file paths for every file in the session; if files move, relink is required.
• Builds are unsigned; platform security prompts (especially macOS) may require manual trust/quarantine removal.
• Report bugs or request features via GitHub Issues.
