[ install guide ]

Getting set up.

There are two ways our instruments install, depending on which one you have. Find yours below. The free synth takes about a minute, the Kontakt instruments a few more.

the quick one

DEM-Osc

Our free synth installs itself. Download it, drag it into your plugins folder, done. No extra software, no account, nothing to register. Mac only for now; Windows is coming.

the longer one

The Osc Collection

Everything else runs inside Kontakt, which means going through Native Access first. It’s more steps, but you only do it once per instrument.

Install via Native Access ↓

[ the quick one ]

DEM-Osc: direct install

  1. Download it

    Grab DEM-Osc from its page. It’s free, and the file comes straight to you.

  2. Drag it into your plugins folder

    Drop the VST3 or AU into your usual plugins folder. No installer, no account, nothing to register.

  3. Open your DAW

    Rescan your plugins if your DAW doesn’t spot it right away. That’s it. You’re playing.

[ where we’re heading ]

We’re moving everything over to this direct install. It’s simply better, and it’s what we’d want if we were standing on your side of this.

[ the longer one ]

The Osc Collection: via Native Access

Runs in
Free Kontakt 7 Player or full Kontakt 7
Except Pro-Osc
Kontakt 6 and higher
Installed with
Native Access 2

  1. Get Native Access 2

    If you don’t already have it, download Native Access 2 here. All our downloads and updates run through it.

  2. Add your serial

    Inside Native Access 2, click + Add Serial and enter the 25-digit serial we emailed you.

  3. Find your instrument

    Select Available at the top to find the instrument you purchased.

  4. Click install

    And you’re ready to play with your new synthesizer. If you don’t have the free Kontakt Player yet, Native Access will let you know and install it alongside.

[ if something’s not showing up ]

If your instrument isn’t appearing in Kontakt 7 Player or Kontakt 7, make sure you’ve updated it within Native Access. Still stuck? Native Instruments has more in-depth information here. Still on Native Access 1? You can download the free Kontakt 7 Player here.

[ the reasoning ]

Why we built inside Kontakt

We chose Kontakt for its multi-sample engine: it can manage thousands of wave files at once, which is what these instruments needed.

Being part of the Native Instruments family also let us build custom controls and deep NKS integration across MASCHINE and Komplete Kontrol keyboards, so you can play our Osc synths like a hardware synthesizer.

Downloads and updates are handled by Native Access, which keeps installation straightforward and safe. And it runs in Kontakt Player, which is free for everyone. Buy any Osc instrument and you’re ready to go.

[ licence & refunds ]

The fine print.

What you’re allowed to do with our instruments, and where we stand on refunds. We’ve tried to keep it readable. If anything here is unclear, just ask us.

[ the short version ]

Use our instruments in anything you make: your own records, client work, commercial releases, with no extra fees and nothing to clear. Just don’t redistribute the sounds themselves. There’s a free demo, and the demo is the try-before-you-buy, because a licence key can’t be un-sent. Once it’s delivered, the sale is final.

[ your licence ]

Licensed, not sold

By purchasing a serial number or a licence key for one of our instruments, you agree that the instrument is licensed, not sold to you. This licence is personal and non-transferable.

you can

Use it in your work

  • Use the instrument in your own compositions and commercial work for clients/media, without any restrictions or additional fees
you can not

Redistribute the sounds

  • Make copies of this instrument or its content, as a whole or in part, with the intent to re-distribute, sell or give them away
  • Re-use or re-package any of the instrument’s content in another virtual instrument or sample library
  • Distribute or sell third-party sound packs, presets or other content intended for use within our software

Installing the library in Native Access, or activating a plugin with your licence key, means you agree to the terms above.

[ refunds ]

Refunds

Once a licence key or serial number has been delivered, the sale is final and we can’t refund it. A key can’t be un-sent.

Try it first. There’s a free demo, so you can play it in your own sessions for as long as you like and hear exactly what you’re getting before you spend anything.

If something has genuinely gone wrong, write to us. We’re two people, we read everything, and any exception is ours to make.

If a payment is reversed after a key has been delivered, that key is withdrawn, and the licence goes with it.

Buying from the EU. Before we deliver a key, checkout asks you to agree to immediate delivery and to give up the 14-day right of withdrawal. That box is what lets us send the key on the spot.

Design pieces. The physical pieces from our design collection ship within the US. If you’d like to return one, get in touch within 14 days of delivery and we’ll sort it out.

Using our products is at the licensee’s own risk. Clay and Kelsy Instruments hold no responsibility for any direct or indirect loss arising from any form of use of this product.
