Requirements

Windows

On Windows, Floe is available in the CLAP and VST3 formats. We recommend using the CLAP version where possible. Requirements:

  • Windows 10 or later
  • 64-bit computer
  • x86-64 processor with SSE2 support (almost all processors in a Windows PC since ~2006 have this)
  • 64-bit CLAP or VST3 host

macOS

On macOS, Floe is available in the CLAP, VST3 and AU (v2) formats. We recommend using the CLAP version where possible. Requirements:

  • macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel
  • CLAP, AU (v2) or VST3 host

Linux

On Linux, Floe is available in the CLAP and VST3 formats. We recommend using the CLAP version where possible. The requirements are quite minimal and you might find you already have everything you need. Requirements:

  • x86-64 processor
  • A reasonably recent distribution with glibc 2.29 or later
  • libcurl, OpenGL, X11 and GLX libraries installed
  • zenity and xdg-open installed

Plugin Hosts (DAWs)

Here are some examples of plugin hosts that can run Floe. There are many more than this.

  • CLAP hosts on Windows & macOS: Reaper, Bitwig, FL Studio (2024 or newer) and Studio One Pro (v7 or newer).
  • VST3 hosts on Windows & macOS: Cubase, Ableton Live, Reason, and more.
  • AU hosts on macOS include: Logic Pro, GarageBand, and more.

Not supported

Just for clarity: no ‘standalone’ application and no AAX (Pro Tools) support. We hope to expand Floe’s compatibility in the future.
