Additional Information

ZebraCM was originally created as magazine software for Computer Music readers and is now offered as a free download without needing a serial number. It is compatible with major operating systems including macOS, Windows, and Linux (Linux support is considered beta). The plugin supports AUv2 and VST3 formats on macOS, and VST3 and AAX on Windows (no AAX for Mac currently). The software requires a host DAW to operate, as it is not standalone.

System requirements include at least 1 GB RAM, a minimum display resolution of 1000×600 pixels, and a modern CPU (Intel Nehalem or AMD Bulldozer or newer on Windows/Linux, including Apple silicon M1 on Mac).
