"I can’t imagine a better collaboration than the greatest analog / tube current gear manufacturer on the planet, Retro Instruments, and a plugin company that can truly capture the essence of the Iron, tubes, and analog path, in only the way Kazrog can. What they’ve come up with is truly stunning, I’m using this Sta-Level plugin all over the place.”

Linux - Public Beta
Kazrog has always been a cross platform company, supporting macOS and Windows from day one. But the Linux music production community has spoken up, and we've listened.
We're introducing Linux support with Retro Sta-Level, and we're bringing Linux support to the rest of our plugins this year.
All purchases (and demos) of Retro Sta-Level include a Linux version, which is currently in public beta, and has been tested in Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Manjaro as of this writing.
VST3, VST2 and LV2 plugin formats are supported, for systems running Linux on Intel x64 architecture.
Stay tuned as we bring the rest of our lineup to Linux this year!
