PUNCHCARD 0.8.0 — TEST BUILD / 2026-09-09

Drum-pattern instrument with yellow onset-driven drawings and ten line families.
macOS VST3 only; Universal arm64 + x86_64; build minimum macOS 11.
No Windows, AU or standalone application is included. Not tested on every host/OS.

NOT A VERIFIED STABLE RELEASE
Automated tests and local signature checks pass. Loading this build in FL Studio
remains unresolved: a previous attempt failed referring to the old Ecosystem Drums
name. Successful loading after a rescan, audio, animation and project reopening
are not yet confirmed. Use a new disposable project, not important production work.

INSTALL
Quit your DAW. In Finder > Go > Go to Folder, open:
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
Create this folder if needed. Copy the entire PUNCHCARD.vst3 bundle into it.
In FL Studio Plugin Manager, run Find installed plugins and search for PUNCHCARD.
Enable rescanning previously verified plugins if needed. Open it as a generator.

UPGRADING
Ecosystem Drums and PUNCHCARD share the same plugin identity. Do not keep both
VST3 bundles in scan paths. With the DAW closed, back up the old bundle outside
all plugin scan paths before installing. Old-project compatibility is unverified;
keep project copies. No old FL .fst/.nfo registration files are included.
If the old-name error persists, stop and send a screenshot to the distributor.
To roll back, quit the DAW, move the new bundle outside scan paths and restore
the old one from your backup.

Use your own licensed samples. No reference recordings or personal sample
libraries are included in this package.

MACOS SECURITY
Ad-hoc signed only. No Developer ID signature or Apple notarization is present.
macOS may block a downloaded copy. Local signature verification is not identity
verification or notarization. Contact the distributor if blocked; do not disable
Gatekeeper or weaken system-wide security settings.

See VALIDATION.txt for scope and Licenses/ for third-party notices.
The distributor should supply contact information with the download/message.
