If the download is a .zip archive, extract it first. Open the installer inside the extracted folder.
The Manual links download the product documentation. Use the Windows or macOS button for the installer.
To download again, return to the registration page and enter the same email address. Download the current installer for your product and operating system.
3. Install on Windows
Check the purchased product’s system requirements before installing.
1) Close your DAW
Save your work and quit your audio application before installing or updating the plug-in.
2) Open the Windows installer
Double-click the downloaded .exe file. If you received a ZIP, right-click it and choose Extract All, then open the .exe installer inside.
3) Complete installation
Follow the installer instructions. If Windows requests administrator permission, approve the installer you downloaded from TAKUMI AUDIO. Keep the default locations unless you have a specific reason to change them.
For a VST3 installation, the usual location is:
