ENCORE. VST v0.6.1

ENCORE. VST now runs on more Windows PCs and Linux systems: on Windows it no
longer needs Microsoft's Visual C++ runtime, and on Linux it runs on Raspberry
Pi OS Bookworm, Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04. The plugins sound the same as in
v0.6.0.

What's new

• Windows: ENCORE. VST Setup and the plugins have everything they need
  built in. Before, on a PC without Microsoft's Visual C++ runtime, Setup didn't
  start ("MSVCP140.dll was not found") and the plugins didn't load.
• Linux and Raspberry Pi: the plugins run on Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm or
  newer, Debian 12 or newer and Ubuntu 22.04 or newer. Before, they needed
  Raspberry Pi OS Trixie, Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04.
• Every plugin is checked with pluginval on Windows, Mac, Debian 12 and Ubuntu
  22.04, and on the Mac with Apple's own Audio Unit validator, before each
  release.

Downloads

• Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 11 or newer):
  ENCORE-VST-0.6.1-macos.pkg installs VST3 and Audio Units (for Logic and
  GarageBand). It isn't signed yet: the first time, macOS says it was
  "Not Opened". Click Done, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security,
  click Open Anyway, then open the installer again. Prefer copying files
  yourself? Use ENCORE-VST-0.6.1-macos.zip.
• Windows (10 and 11, 64-bit): ENCORE-VST-0.6.1-windows-setup.exe. If
  SmartScreen warns you, click More info, then Run anyway. Or
  ENCORE-VST-0.6.1-windows-x64-vst3.zip to copy the VST3s yourself. The
  plugins are x64: on a Windows on Arm PC, load them in your DAW's x64 version.
• Linux and Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm or newer, Debian 12 or
  newer, Ubuntu 22.04 or newer): ENCORE-VST-0.6.1-linux-x64.tar.gz (PCs) and
  ENCORE-VST-0.6.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz (Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, 64-bit), with
  VST3 and LV2. Copy the .vst3 folders to ~/.vst3 and the .lv2 folders to
  ~/.lv2.

Each file has a .sha256 next to it, to check the download. After
installing, rescan plugins in your DAW.

ENCORE. VST v0.6.0

ENCORE. VST is now on Mac: five free plugins, Vox, Verb, Equalize, Master and
Strum, for Windows, Mac and Linux. They sound the same as in v0.5.0.

What's new

• The Mac version: VST3 and Audio Units, with an installer.
• Security and crash fixes from JUCE 9.0.5.
• Every plugin is checked with pluginval on Windows, Mac and Linux, and on the
  Mac with Apple's own Audio Unit validator, before each release.

Downloads

• Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 11 or newer):
  ENCORE-VST-0.6.0-macos.pkg installs VST3 and Audio Units (for Logic and

  yourself? Use ENCORE-VST-0.6.0-macos.zip.
• Windows (10 and 11, 64-bit, with Microsoft's Visual C++ Redistributable
  for x64 installed: if Setup says "MSVCP140.dll was not found", install it
  from Microsoft first): ENCORE-VST-0.6.0-windows-setup.exe. If
  SmartScreen warns you, click More info, then Run anyway. Or
  ENCORE-VST-0.6.0-windows-x64-vst3.zip to copy the VST3s yourself.

  Raspberry Pi OS), with VST3 and LV2. They need Raspberry Pi OS Trixie,
  Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04 or newer: they don't load on Bookworm, Debian 12
  or Ubuntu 22.04.

ENCORE. VST v0.5.0

The first release of ENCORE. VST from this repository: five free plugins,
Vox, Verb, Equalize, Master and Strum, for Windows and Linux.

What's new

• The plugins carry the ENCORE. name everywhere: "ENCORE. Vox" and so on in
  your DAW, presets in Documents\ENCORE.
• The Windows installer follows the usual Windows pattern: Uninstall removes
  everything, Modify adds or removes single plugins, and no console window
  appears.

Downloads

• Windows (10 and 11, 64-bit, with Microsoft's Visual C++ Redistributable
  for x64 installed: if Setup says "MSVCP140.dll was not found", install it
  from Microsoft first): ENCORE-VST-0.5.0-windows-setup.exe. Tick
  the plugins you want. If SmartScreen warns you, click More info, then
  Run anyway (it isn't code-signed yet). To add or remove plugins later,
  run it again or use Modify on ENCORE. VST in Windows Settings > Apps;
  Uninstall there removes all of them. Your presets are never touched.
  Or ENCORE-VST-0.5.0-windows-x64-vst3.zip to copy the VST3s yourself.
• Linux and Raspberry Pi: ENCORE-VST-0.5.0-linux-x64.tar.gz (PCs) and
  ENCORE-VST-0.5.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz (Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, 64-bit
  Raspberry Pi OS), with VST3 and LV2. They need Raspberry Pi OS Trixie,
  Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04 or newer: they don't load on Bookworm, Debian 12
  or Ubuntu 22.04.

Each file has a .sha256 next to it, to check the download. After
installing, rescan plugins in your DAW.

Built on

ENCORE. Audio Processing v1.0.0, and JUCE 9 at commit 7ff644f (between the
