Fold 1.0.0 — Mac VST3

Fold is free to use. No activation, account or Kaizen Hub installation is required.
This download contains the VST3 format only. AU and AAX are not included.

INSTALL

1. Quit your audio host and extract the ZIP.
2. In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder and enter:
   ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3
3. Create the VST3 folder if needed, then copy the complete Fold.vst3 bundle into it.
   Keep the bundle intact. This per-user installation does not require administrator privileges.
4. Open your VST3-compatible audio host and rescan plug-ins if Fold does not appear.
   Restart the host if necessary.

The default artwork, fonts and presets are included. No separate asset pack is needed.

COMPATIBILITY AND VALIDATION

Universal Mac binary: native Apple Silicon and Intel support.
Build targets: macOS 11.0 or later on Apple Silicon; macOS 10.15 or later on Intel.
Headless ARM64 and Rosetta smoke tests and pluginval 1.0.4 validation at strictness
level 5 passed on macOS 26.5.2. The signed plug-in passed Apple notarization-ticket
verification. The ZIP itself is not a stapled installer.
This validation did not cover physical Intel hardware, older macOS versions or DAW GUI workflows.

REMOVE

Quit your audio host, then remove only:
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Fold.vst3

Rescan or restart the host. Your saved presets and settings remain in place.
