What's inside

How it works

1. Download and run the installer. It lists every plugin and format with everything ticked, so you can see exactly what you're getting — untick anything you don't want.
2. Open a plugin in your DAW and click Activate. Sign in, or create your free Punch Audio account right there (that's the mailing-list sign-up). No serial numbers, no iLok.
3. Grit Factory: start the 14-day trial, or unlock the license you bought — two machines. Shift & Symphonic: claim them free — three machines each. Offline activation is available for studio computers that never see the internet.

Already have one of them?

• Updating? Same installer — it always carries the newest version of each plugin. Install over the top; your presets and sessions are untouched. Each plugin also tells you inside the plugin when a new version is ready.
• Bought a Grit Factory license? Same installer, same account: sign in and it unlocks.
• Had Shift 1.0, or ran the Symphonic beta? These versions replace them as free updates; sessions recall as saved, and the old serial numbers are retired — claim each one for free on the free page or straight from the Activate screen.
• Only want one plugin? Untick the rest in the installer's list. Nothing you skip is left behind.

System requirements

• macOS 15 or newer — Apple silicon & Intel, native universal binary
• AU, VST3 and AAX — Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and any host that speaks those formats
• About 1.3 GB of disk space for all three plugins in all three formats
