INSTALL HELP

Installing EKIDIO plugins on macOS

EKIDIO plugins are not signed by Apple, so the first time macOS asks you to confirm that you trust them. This takes about a minute and you only do it once per installer.

  1. Download the installer from the product page and double-click it (the .dmg opens a window with the .pkg inside).
  2. If macOS says it cannot verify the developer, click Done (not Move to Trash).
  3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to the message about the installer and click Open Anyway. Enter your Mac password.
  4. Run the installer to the end. The plugin goes to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components.
  5. Restart your DAW. The plugin appears under the manufacturer EKIDIO SOUND.
Logic Pro doesn’t show it? Open Logic Pro → Settings → Plug-in Manager, select the plugin and click Reset & Rescan Selection.
Uninstall: delete the plugin’s .component file from /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components.
Requirements: macOS 11 or newer, Apple Silicon or Intel, an Audio Unit host (Logic Pro, GarageBand, Ableton Live, Reaper…). No VST3 or Windows version.

Why unsigned? Apple signing costs a yearly fee that free plugins can’t carry. Nothing is disabled or bypassed: you approve each installer yourself, once.
