Vst Plugins Ableton Folder

Issue

Then when you install a VST, right-click its.dll, select 'create shortcut' and copy the created shortcut into the appropriate subfolder. Finally, when you open Ableton, under File/Folder/Custom Folder, select this shortcuts folder as your VST directory and VOILA! Your VSTs will be in subfolders, sorted how you desire. In the “plugin” tab you have to select the VST folder of your plugins (1) then click on “ refresh plugin list” (2) Then, in “refresh plugin list” (a nice novelty of Fl Studio 12) you can add more files into the “scanner plugin” (plugin search paths add path).

You can’t find the Equator VST or AU plugin inside a digital audio workstation (DAW).


Solution

After downloading Equator from My ROLI and then installing it, the Equator plugin is saved in the following locations:


Mac

  • VST Plug-in: Mac HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/
  • AU Plug-in: Mac HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/


Windows

  • VST Plug-in (32-bit): C:Program FilesCommon Files(x86)SteinbergVST2

Ensuring your DAW is using the correct plug-in location

Some DAWs have different default locations to scan for plugins. If you have installed a plugin (like Equator) and can’t seem to access it from your DAW, check the DAW’s settings to ensure that it is looking in the right folder. In some DAWs you can set additional folders to scan automatically.
