TROUBLESHOOTING

Common issues.

Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable (x64). Download from Microsoft, install, restart your DAW, and rescan plugins.
Verify the .vst3 file is in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\. Confirm your DAW is 64-bit. If your DAW scans a custom plugin directory, add that directory to your scan path and rescan.
Increase the buffer size in your DAW settings. Reduce the number of simultaneous NAM models running on different pads — NAM processing is CPU-intensive. Lower polyphony if needed.
Go to Settings → Scan Paths. Add your VST directories (common paths: C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins, AppData\Local\Programs\Common\VST3). Click Scan and wait for completion.
Review each found file individually. Nothing is deleted without your explicit confirmation. If a file is important, uncheck it before proceeding.
Verify write permissions on the original plugin directory. If restoring to a protected location (Program Files), run FETCH as Administrator.
FAQ

Common questions.

Any VST3-compatible host — Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, Reaper, Studio One, Cubase, and more. Verified in Reaper 7.26. ANVIL is not locked to any specific DAW.
No. ANVIL is Windows only (x64). Mac and Linux support is not currently planned.
The most common cause is a missing Visual C++ runtime. Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable (x64), restart your DAW, and rescan plugins.
WAV (16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit float), AIFF, and FLAC. Samples are automatically resampled to your host's sample rate on load. Mono files load correctly into stereo pad chains.
Pad linking assigns one pad to simultaneously trigger another — both fire at once. Each pad keeps its own sample, volume, pitch, and full FX chain. They output to separate DAW channels and are independently mixable. Velocity layering (one pad, multiple samples based on velocity) is a completely different concept. Pad linking is about simultaneous, independent triggers.
No. Output routing is stored in your DAW project file, not in kit files. You can swap kits freely without affecting how pads route to your mixer. This keeps kits portable across different setups.
NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) lets you load neural network models of real guitar and bass amplifiers. In ANVIL, you can run individual pads or the entire master bus through a NAM model to add amp character to your drums. Any .nam model file works.
8 stereo outputs: Main + Aux 1–7. Set each pad's output assignment in the plugin, then configure your DAW mixer to receive the separate channels. Routing is stored in your DAW project.
Fetch supports VST2 (.dll), VST3 (.vst3), AAX (.aaxplugin), and CLAP (.clap) formats. You can configure custom scan paths for each format independently.
After uninstalling a plugin, the Leftover Scraper scans 8 DAW AppData directories for orphaned files the uninstaller missed — presets, cached database entries, registry keys, and preset folders. Every found file is shown to you before anything is deleted.
No. FETCH takes a backup of any plugin file before touching it, and the uninstall flow requires explicit confirmation at each step. The Leftover Scraper shows you every found file and waits for your approval before deleting anything. The Quarantine system moves files rather than deleting them, so you can always restore.
FETCH is DAW-agnostic — it scans the file system, not a specific DAW. It works regardless of which DAW you use. The Leftover Scraper specifically supports cleanup for Ableton, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Reason, Pro Tools, and shared VST cache locations.
Yes. Quarantined plugins are moved to an isolated folder — not deleted. Open the Quarantine panel, select the plugin, and click Restore. It will be placed back at its original path.
Backups are stored in a configurable directory (default: AppData). Each backup is timestamped and labeled by plugin name. You can set per-plugin retention limits and browse or restore backups from the Backup panel.
