Nightly builds

A build of the main branch is published every day it changes, under the same file names. It is a pre-release: expect rough edges, and use a normal release for projects you care about.

Install in three steps

The builds are not code-signed yet, so each system warns you the first time you start Atomik Rack. That is expected.

  1. Windows

    Run the installer (it asks for administrator rights to install for everyone, and offers to install just for you), or unzip the portable archive and run atomik.exe. If SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC", choose More info, then Run anyway.

  2. Linux

    On Debian or Ubuntu install the package with "sudo apt-get install ./atomik-rack_<version>_amd64.deb". For any distribution, make the AppImage executable with chmod +x and run it. You need a working Vulkan or OpenGL graphics driver.

  3. macOS

    Open the disk image and drag Atomik Rack to Applications. If macOS blocks it, right-click the app, choose Open, then Open again.

On first start a short setup helps you pick the audio device and a MIDI keyboard. Optional: install FFmpeg to import video and export MP3, AAC or Opus.
