From download to sound
- Install Deck Lite. Download the build for your computer, then follow the instructions below.
- Install an effect. Use the plugin maker’s installer. Deck Lite supports VST3 on desktop and Audio Units on Mac. VST2 plugins won’t appear.
- Choose your audio interface. Open Deck Lite’s audio settings and select the input and output you use. Start with your headphone or speaker volume low.
- Pick a card and play. Deck scans installed plugins when it opens. If you just installed a plugin, quit and reopen Deck. The ? button explains keyboard, MIDI and gamepad controls.
Install on Mac
Open the downloaded ZIP and drag Deck Lite into Applications. This build needs an Apple-silicon Mac running macOS 11 or later.
Install on Windows
Extract the whole ZIP to a folder you want to keep, then open Deck Lite.exe inside it. This is an x64 build, tested on Windows 11. The beta is not signed, so Windows may show a publisher warning.
Install on Linux
Extract the .tar.gz download. Open a terminal in the extracted
folder and run sh install-linux.sh. Deck Lite will
appear in your applications menu. The x64 beta targets Ubuntu 22.04
or newer and needs X11 or XWayland.
