Surge being my first VST3 ever, I had to dig deeper and what I found in was: VST3 Plug-in path There's only a simple on/off toggle there. Then I found the Nightly ZIP releases and happily skipped the installer altogether only to discover my host (Renoise) specifically doesn't allow you to define a location for VST3s. By the way, thank you Surge Synth Team for all the hard work, 1.7.0 is amazing.įirst I was confused about not being able to set the installation directory. But it shouldn't take me this much work, and I'm posting this in hopes that the next time I have to install it will be smoother. I had to guess it was installed on Program Files/Common Files/VST3 (and not, say, Program Files/VstPlugins, Program Files/VST or something similar), and that took me a little while.Īll in all, happy ending, I got Surge to work, on the folder it was meant to be. Thankfully, that is definitely not a lot of work (would be much better if it was no work at all, but i'll take it), but there remained the problem that the installer didn't actually inform me where the VST3 was installed in the first place. But instead, it prompted me nothing about destination folder and just installed itself where it wanted.Īfter the initial confusion, I read on the manual that Surge has a "portable mode", and that the user had to manually do a bit of tweaking to get working. I opened the installer, hoping that at the very least, Surge would let me install it in the folder I keep the VST2 in (which is a custom folder where I keep all of my other VST in, 64-bit, 32-bit, VST2, VST3, what gives you). Now, here's my experience installing 1.7.0 (on Windows): Surge already has a portable mode, so that should not be a challenge. ![]() We do not provide help, assistance, or support via social networks, public forums, or through our email accounts.ĭo not send us emails or reply to the help-desk solutions, since the ticket will be created without any property and our help-desk agents will not answer them.This should be a no brainer let the user pick installation folder when installing Surge, instead of having it install in a generic, undisclosed folder.
