Minimal Audio Squash / apulSoft apUnmask

Status: reported · last checked 2026-08-10

Vendor page

Second-hand reports, not a compatibility guarantee — nobody here retested this. Read the caution before relying on it.

Useful counter-examples: JUCE 8 plugins that do work, because both ship a Wine-detecting software-render fallback.

Native alternative

apulSoft ships native Linux VST3 builds — apQualizr2's requirements name a Linux 64-bit VST3 host, and a Linux VST3 arrived in a 1.1.x update. Which apulSoft plugins are covered isn't clear from outside, so check the vendor's system requirements for the one you want before bridging it. Nothing native for Minimal Audio Squash.

Caveats and fixes

• Shows the JUCE 8 Direct2D breakage is a vendor build choice, not an inevitability.
