Installing Chord Lab, getting your download again, and anything else: contact@sonderplugins.com

Installing on Mac

  1. Open the installer (.pkg) from your download. If it arrived as a .zip, double-click that first to unzip it.
  2. Follow the installer. macOS asks for your password because plugins install to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins, a system folder.
  3. Restart your DAW and rescan plugins. Chord Lab appears under the manufacturer Sonder Audio.

It's signed and notarized by Apple, so there are no security warnings or settings to approve.

Installing on Windows

  1. Unzip the download.
  2. Copy the whole Chord Lab.vst3 folder, not just what's inside it, into C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\. Windows asks for admin permission.
  3. Restart your DAW and rescan plugins.

The plugin is code-signed. Windows may still show a SmartScreen notice the first time you download it, because Sonder Audio is a new publisher. That's about the publisher's age, not the file.

System requirements

  • macOS 10.13 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel (AU and VST3)
  • Windows 10 or later, 64-bit (VST3)
  • Any DAW that loads AU or VST3, including Logic, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper and Studio One

Pro Tools isn't supported. It needs the AAX format, which Chord Lab doesn't have yet.

It doesn't show up in my DAW

Most DAWs need a plugin rescan after an install, and some need it forced. In Ableton Live: Settings (Preferences in older versions), then Plug-Ins, then hold Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) and click Rescan. If it still doesn't appear, email us with your DAW and operating system.

Getting your download again

Your receipt email has the download links. You can also sign in any time at app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders with the email you bought with. Lemon Squeezy, our checkout provider, emails you a sign-in link; there's no password to remember.

Updates

Every 1.x update is free. New versions appear on that same My Orders page. Install one the same way as the first time and it replaces the old version.

License

One purchase covers Mac and Windows, on computers you own or control. Everything you make with Chord Lab is yours, including for release, with no royalties.

Refunds

Chord Lab comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Email contact@sonderplugins.com within 14 days of purchase and you'll get a full refund. Full details are in the terms.
