Serial numbers for plugins you purchased from our website are stored in the License Keys area of your user account on our website. If you purchased a plugin from a reseller then you will need to contact them for assistance.

Soundbank licences cannot be imported.

To get started, download and install the demo version of the plugin from our website.

To register the demo version, click the cog (settings) icon in the plugin. In the settings dialog that opens, type or paste the serial number you received when you purchased the plugin. Freeware plugins do not require registration.

Some plugins can be unregistered from within the software. Otherwise, unregister the plugin by deleting the settings file located at:

Windows
C:\ProgramData\Oblivion Sound Lab\*PLUGIN NAME*\settings.xml

macOS
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Oblivion Sound Lab/*PLUGIN NAME*/settings.xml

Note: Windows’ ProgramData folder is hidden by default, and can be viewed by changing Explorer’s settings to show hidden items.

Our plugins are protected by a simple serial number. You don’t need to be online to register or use the software.

As a one-person team I would rather spend my time building great, affordable software, instead of devising convoluted copy protection to outwit pirates.

Plugins are installed to the following locations:

Windows
VST3: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
Data: C:\ProgramData\Oblivion Sound Lab\*PLUGIN NAME*\

macOS
AU: Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
VST3: Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
Data: Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Oblivion Sound Lab/*PLUGIN NAME*/

If your Mac is running macOS High Sierra or later and you recently installed a plug-in that isn’t available in Logic Pro or MainStage, restart your Mac.

If the plugin is still not available, rescan your plugins. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Plug-In Manager, or MainStage 3 > Preferences > Plug-In Manager, then click “Reset & Rescan Selection”.

We do not issue refunds except in the case of accidental double purchases (when a customer pays for the same product twice). Please check any software and hardware requirements before purchasing a product, which are listed on each product’s page on our website. We also strongly recommend trying the demo versions of our plugins before placing your order, to make sure the software works on your system.

If you purchased a plugin or soundset from a reseller then you should refer to their refund policy, in case it differs from our own.

If you purchased a plugin from the Oblivion Sound Lab website you can transfer your license to a new owner. A $10 fee applies if you are transferring a license within 6 months of purchase. Soundbank licenses cannot be transferred.

Send us the name, email and postal address of the new owner, and after receiving payment (if applicable) we will transfer the plugin to them. The new owner must have an account on the Oblivion Sound Lab website before the transfer can proceed. Once the license has been transferred you must delete all copies of the plugin in your possession, including any license keys.

NFR (Not for Resale) copies, including freeware products and giveaway copies, cannot be resold.

When Multi-Channel Output is enabled in Hex Drum’s settings each drum voice is sent to a seperate audio bus. This allows you to route each voice to a different track in your Digital Audio Workstation, so that they can be processed separately. Routing tutorials for a number of DAWs are available on our YouTube channel, or refer to your DAW’s documentation for further information.

In addition to standard MIDI mapping, Hex Drum’s voices can be played melodically on MIDI channels 2 to 8. Below are quick-start instructions for some popular DAWs, or refer to your DAW’s documentation for multi-timbral instruments.
