FAQ

Frequently asked questions about our products, licensing and support.

What formats do your plugins support?+
Constellations is available as VST3 on Windows, macOS and Linux, as AU on macOS, and as a standalone app that runs without a DAW.
Does Constellations produce sound on its own?+
No. Constellations is a MIDI sequencer: it generates notes and rhythms, not audio. You route its MIDI output to any instrument plugin or synth, so it works with the sounds you already own.
How do I route it to an instrument in my DAW?+
Every DAW handles MIDI routing a little differently. Usually you load Constellations on one track and point a second track's instrument at it. The video tutorials linked on the product page walk through the setup in the major DAWs.
How many computers can I use it on?+
One license key activates up to 3 computers. Activate once and the plugin keeps working offline; no dongle, no constant connection required.
How do I install my purchase?+
After purchase, you'll receive a licence key and a downloadable zip file containing all versions of the software you bought. For now, the files need to be copied to your plugin folder manually, depending on your OS. A plugin manager is in development to make this easier.
Do you offer refunds?+
We offer a 14-day return policy. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, contact our support team for a full refund.
Do you offer educational discounts?+
Not at this time.
What are the system requirements?+
Constellations requires macOS 10.13+ (Intel or Apple Silicon), Windows 10+, or a modern Linux distribution, with a minimum of 4GB RAM.
