RIPPLES Tap

Plugins, samples and books. One app.

The free ones are yours to keep. Every paid plugin runs free for 7 days, no card.

Installing on Windows? Read this first

Windows shows a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen for any app it hasn't seen before, including ours. To continue:

  1. Click More info on the blue screen.
  2. Click Run anyway, then follow the installer.

Some antivirus tools flag any installer they have not seen before. If yours does, allow RIPPLES Tap and run the installer again; it is the same file every time, and it only writes to its own folder and the standard plugin folders.

Do I have to use RIPPLES Tap?

For paid plugins, yes: it is what activates your licence. Free plugins run through it too and never ask for a key.

Can I use my plugins on more than one computer?

Yes. A paid key covers three computers, a trial two. Press Release on a machine you no longer use and the slot frees up.

How do I uninstall it?

Mac: drag it to the Trash. Windows: Add or remove programs. Your plugins stay installed and keep working.
