DeepPluck V0.16.0 - Installation
Just a Lil' PluckSynth / Tonetrax

REQUIREMENTS
Confirmed platform: Windows 11 x64. The plugin requires a 64-bit DAW with
VST3 support. No macOS, Linux or 32-bit binaries are included.

VST3
1. Extract the entire ZIP. Close Cubase and all other plugin hosts.
2. Copy the complete Binaries\Windows-x64\DeepPluck.vst3 folder to
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\.
   Result: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\DeepPluck.vst3\Contents\...
3. Always copy the entire folder, not just the VST3 file inside it.
   Administrator rights may be required for this destination.
4. When updating, back up the old version outside the plugin search folders,
   then replace it. Avoid duplicate DeepPluck installations.
   There is no need to delete your own presets.
5. Restart your DAW. Rescan in its VST Plugin Manager if needed.
   The instrument appears under the name DeepPluck.

STANDALONE
Copy Binaries\Windows-x64\DeepPluck.exe to a user folder and launch it from
there, not from inside the ZIP. Select your audio output and MIDI input in
the audio/MIDI settings. A DAW is not required for standalone use.

PRESETS
The 116 Factory presets are built in and require no separate installation.

NOTES
This package performs no automatic installation and copies no files to system
folders by itself. The binaries are not digitally signed. If Windows displays
a warning, check the download's origin and checksums first; do not generally
disable security features. SHA256SUMS.txt lists checksums for package contents.
A separately published ZIP checksum verifies the downloaded ZIP itself.

The developer/user confirmed V0.16.0 in practical use on 2026-09-15.
This is not a guarantee of compatibility with every DAW or computer.
