Installation
Installation on Mac
After downloading the installer for Mac you will find a file named "Alpha Installer nnn.dmg" (or
"Alpha Demo Installer nnn.dmg" if you are trying the demo) located in your download folder.
“nnn” is the actual version number, for example “Alpha Installer 330” is version 3.3.0.
Most Mac will mount the disk image automatically. If not, please double-click this file to open
the image.
Then double-click the installer program which will guide you through the installation process.
The plugin file for Alpha and the factory sounds (presets) will be placed in the right directories
for AU and VST plugins on your Mac.
The next time you start your DAW software Alpha will be listed in the AU and VST plugin list.
The installation is always only for the current user; if you want to use the plugin with different
users on your computer, each user must run their own installation.
Installation on PC
After downloading the installer for PC you will find a file named "Alpha Installer nnn.exe" (or
"Alpha Demo Installer nnn.exe" if you are trying the demo) located in your download folder.
“nnn” is the actual version number, for example “Alpha Installer 330” is version 3.3.0.
Start this program and the installer will guide you through the installation process. Make sure
you choose the correct VST plug-in directory so that your DAW software can find Alpha.
Please check your DAW software's manual if you are unsure about where its VST 2 plug-in
directory is located.
The plugin file Alpha.dll (if you choose the 32 bit version) or Alpha 64.dll (for the 64 bit
version) and the factory sounds (presets) will be placed in the chosen directory. The next
time you start your DAW software Alpha will be listed in the VST plugin list.
The installation is always only for the current user; if you want to use the plugin with different
users on your computer, each user must run their own installation (however, you can choose
the same installation location).
