Scope is our free oscilloscope plugin — a beat-synced waveform display with clip detection, sharp at any size up to 4K. DeltaScope is the paid version, built on the same rendering engine, and adds the analysis tools: route in a second signal and compare the two (including a delta mode that shows exactly what your processing changed), a spectrum analyser, level metering, on-screen waveform measurement, and phase correlation across time. If you want a clean, accurate scope, Scope is all you need. If you want to compare signals, analyse frequency content, or measure precisely, DeltaScope adds those.

Yes. Scope is free to download and keep — no trial period, no feature gates. You add it to your cart and check out at £0 through Paddle, our payment provider; your free license key arrives in the order confirmation email, and you activate the plugin with that key. No account, no dongle, no iLok.

Yes — Scope is a free oscilloscope plugin for macOS, available in VST3 and Audio Unit (AU) formats and native on both Apple Silicon and Intel. You can get it from the Scope product page on apolloviewmodular.com.

One purchase gives you every plugin format we ship — currently VST3 and Audio Unit for macOS. If we add formats in the future (e.g. AAX, CLAP), your existing license will cover them. There is no separate purchase per format or per DAW.

Yes — Scope is a free oscilloscope plugin, and it's a complete tool rather than a time-limited trial. DeltaScope is a separate paid plugin with additional analysis features, not an unlock of Scope (see What's the difference between Scope and DeltaScope?). You activate the free Scope with a free license key, the same way as a paid plugin.

Your license key will work with all updates to the current major version. If a future major version requires a new key, existing customers will be offered an upgrade discount.
