Or get the Full Bundle.

What's in the installer

One bundle. Six plugins.

The package includes GhostInTheMachine as the full modular suite, plus four flagship standalone effects and the additional StutterGate plugin. Every standalone product installs as AU and VST3; GhostInTheMachine also includes its Standalone app.

  • GhostInTheMachine — full 38-module suite, AU, VST3 and Standalone
  • FibraVerb — flagship reverb, AU and VST3
  • FibonacciCompressor — flagship compressor, AU and VST3
  • SpectralEQ — flagship spectral EQ, AU and VST3
  • StutterGate — additional bundle standalone, AU and VST3
  • FilterMotion — flagship filter, AU and VST3

Install

Up and running in four steps.

  1. Run the installer

    Open the downloaded .pkg and follow the prompts. Older copies are swept automatically so you never end up with duplicates.

  2. Rescan in your DAW

    Launch your host and rescan plugins if needed. Look for GhostInTheMachine under GhostWare.

  3. Enter your license

    Open Settings → AI → License and paste the GW-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX key from your purchase. It unlocks the plugin on this computer.

  4. Summon the ghost

    Add modules, or capture a loop and hit Analyze. Updates arrive inside the plugin — verified and never auto-launched.

Try the ghost free for 14 days.

Every feature unlocked. No account. No card. Activate straight from the plugin in three steps.

Step 1

Download the installer

Grab the installer above, run it, and rescan plugins in your DAW. Look for GhostInTheMachine, four flagship plugins and the additional StutterGate standalone under GhostWare.

Step 2

Open the plugin

Load it on any track. You'll see a Start Trial button in the license panel — the plugin is in demo mode until you activate.

Step 3

Hit Start Trial

The plugin contacts the GhostWare server, binds a trial key to this machine, and unlocks everything — instantly.

What you get
  • 14 days of full access — all 38 modules, GhostMode, every preset.
  • 3 AI credits included — try the AI Analyze layer right away.
  • No account or card needed — the trial key is machine-bound automatically.
  • One trial per machine — a reinstall always restores your existing trial.

After 14 days: the plugin returns to demo mode (periodic mute, preset saving off) with a clear prompt to buy the Full License. Credits you used during the trial are spent; any unused credits carry over if you later purchase.
