Potential problems

Missing plugin

Windows
• You must make sure that your host application is set to use the VST plugins folder to which you installed DCAM: Synth Squad’s

plugins. See your host’s documentation or contact its manufacturer’s tech support if you do not know how to do this.

• By default, the installer suggests the VST folder defined in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE • SOFTWARE • VST registry key.

Unless you changed this location during the installer, this is where the plugins are installed.

• If you cannot find the VST plugins, you can copy them into the VST plugins folder of your choice from the following folders:

C:\Program Files\FXpansion\ (for example, C:\Program Files\FXpansion\Strobe)

Mac
• The VST plugins are installed to Library • Audio • Plug-Ins • VST
• The AU plugins are installed to Library • Audio • Plug-Ins • Components
• There are not many situations when your host will not find the DCAM: Synth Squad plugins. However, if you use Logic, you need

to make sure the AU plugins are properly validated in the Logic AU Manager, located in the Logic 8 Preferences menu. Please
see the Logic documentation if you are unsure how to do this.
