Hear your mix where it matters - on your phone. BONKO Streamer sends the master bus of your macOS DAW to your iPhone over the same local Wi-Fi. Check mix changes while the session is playing instead of bouncing, transferring, and opening a new file after every revision. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the free signed and notarized BONKO Streamer VST3 for macOS 2. Put the plugin on your DAW master bus and open its window 3. Open BONKO on iPhone, allow Camera and Local Network access, and scan the QR code 4. Press play in the DAW and listen on the phone WHY BONKO - Make phone-speaker translation checks while the DAW session stays open - Use the normal local route on the same Wi-Fi - Keep an active stream playing when the screen is locked - Enter the shown IP:port manually if you do not use the scanner - No account, advertising, analytics, or tracking COMPATIBILITY The current desktop release is for macOS DAWs that load VST3, including Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, FL Studio, and REAPER. Other VST3 hosts may work but are not all individually certified. Logic Pro and GarageBand do not load VST3 and are not supported by this release. Windows is not supported by the current installer. Network conditions affect playback and delay. BONKO is a phone translation check, not a replacement for reference monitors. Get the free desktop plugin and setup guide at bonko.phil-thebeat.com. Made by producers, for producers - powered by Phil The Beat and David "DAJU" BONK.
