Hmmm…

The .vst3 file should work in both Mac- and Windows-based hosts.

Try this:

In FL Studio, open the Plugin Manager (Add → Other → Manage Plugins). Ensure that repitch.vst3 is in one of the “Plugin search paths” listed. Turn ON the item under “Scan options” labeled “Rescan plugins with errors” and then click the “Find more plugins” button on the top left.

It seems like Repitch fails to load on the first scan, but then passes on rescan. When I have the time I’ll fix this bug, but for now this workaround should get it up and running.

ah, i tried these steps and still no luck... i noticed that there is no file with the extension ".vst3" in the repitch folder... under the folder "MacOS" there is a file with no extension called "Repitch" with no filetype recognized by Windows. i tried adding ".vst3" to the end of this file and rescanning, which got FL Studio to recognize the plugin, but the plugin fails to run and gives this error message:

repitch.vst3 is the folder which contains the “Contents” folder (it’s technically a file bundle, which is why it has an extension).

In your screenshot, it looks like repitch.vst3 is placed one directory too deep. It should read C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3\repitch.vst3\Contents...

Try moving repitch.vst3 up a directory, and removing the .vst3 extension you added to the file in the Contents/MacOS folder.

ah i see... ok i tried these steps and still nothing... perhaps it is not recognizing the folder "repitch.vst3" as a file bundle and only as a folder... it seems file bundles are a Mac only thing... i tried adding ".bundle" to the end of the folder and that didn't work either. i have no further ideas ! apologies for lengthy customer support i appreciate you helping !

No problem, thanks for helping me understand your issue!

I realized I made a mistake… the installation location should be C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\repitch.vst3, not C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3\repitch.vst3. The latter is for 32-bit plugins, but Repitch is 64-bit.

Hope that fixes it 🤞

still no luck unfortunately :\

Okay… reading more about this, and you were right! I need a Windows machine in order to build Repitch as Windows VST3. I’ll look into using Github Actions for this, or otherwise I’ll build a Windows version next time I have access to a PC. Thanks for all the help troubleshooting!

no problem !! i wish you all the best. this plugin seems really cool, i haven't seen anything quite like it in the freeware space. take care <3

I had a go at building a Windows version – give it a try when you get the chance! I have no way of testing it myself unfortunately 🐒 https://github.com/maxwellpollack/repitch/releases/tag/v0.3.5

heya ! this works ! i will add: the only file necessary for it to work is the Repitch.vst3 file, and in fact the files contained in the _MACOSX folder will confuse FL Studio and get it to detect the wrong files. so it should work perfectly fine with only the .vst3 file. but thank you so much it works great! <3
