The current Cito package is distributed as a folder for TouchDesigner. The folder contains the package TOX, engine DLL, TouchDesigner wrapper DLL, plugins, local install script, assets, docs, and license files.

Requirements

• Windows 10/11 x64
• TouchDesigner 2025.32820 or newer

Install

1. Unzip the package folder.
2. Run install_cito_preview.bat from the package root.
3. Open your TouchDesigner project.
4. Import tox/cito_package.tox.
5. Accept TouchDesigner’s native plugin trust prompt if shown.
6. Confirm the Cito operators appear in OP Create.

If you move the package folder, run install_cito_preview.bat again so the local install registry points at the new location.

Package Contents

Keep the package folder intact. Cito expects its engine, plugins, assets, and docs to stay together so the install script can point TouchDesigner at the correct local paths.

At a user level, the package includes:

• the TouchDesigner package TOX
• the Cito engine
• the TouchDesigner wrapper plugin
• Cito audio plugins
• audio samples and instrument assets
• package docs and license files

First Check

After import, open OP Create and look for the Cito operators. Place a simple chain such as:

MIDI Capture -> MIDI Note -> Synth -> Device Out

If the Cito operators do not appear, rerun install_cito_preview.bat, reopen TouchDesigner, and import the package TOX again.
