5. Click **Install**

The installer places everything automatically:
- **AU:** `/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Reverie.component`

6. Open your DAW and scan for new plugins if it does not detect Reverie automatically

> The installer is notarized by Apple. If macOS shows a warning, right-click the file and select **Open**.

2. Unzip the file

```
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
```

4. Open your DAW and scan for new plugins

> If Windows shows a security warning when copying, click **Yes** or **Allow**.

## FACTORY PRESETS

Reverie's factory presets and sample library install automatically. There is no
separate preset download and no manual step: the first time you open Reverie it
deploys its 48 factory presets. On Windows the samples are built into the plugin
and deploy alongside the presets; on macOS the installer places the samples.

The content lives in a per-user folder:
- **Windows:** `Documents\QuietMusic\Reverie\`
- **macOS:** `~/Library/QuietMusic/Reverie/`

with `Presets` and `Samples` subfolders. The first launch may take a moment while
the content is written; later launches are instant.

Factory presets are read-only. To keep your own version of a preset, use **Save
As**; your presets are stored separately and are never overwritten by updates.

> If a preset that uses a sample sounds silent, delete the file
> `factory_version.txt` inside the content folder and reopen the plugin. This
> forces a clean re-deployment of the factory presets and samples.

## FIRST LAUNCH NOTES

Reverie is an effect: it needs incoming audio to produce sound. Insert it on a
track that is playing, and make sure at least one engine (STRINGS or TEXTURE) is
on with its Dry/Wet above zero.
