Quick start
Installation
The Pulsar Smasher is available as a plug-in in VST2, VST3, AU and AAX formats for use
with all major DAW software such as Live, Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools, etc.
Installation from the supplied installer is automatic. The installer takes care of copying the
different plug-ins as well as presets, manual, etc. into the appropriate locations.
Note: If you are using the VST2 format in Windows, you will be asked by the installer to
specify the installation folders for the 32-bit and 64-bit VST2 plug-ins respectively. The
paths that seem most appropriate for your computer will be recommended by default, but
we advise you to check them before completing the installation. If the plug-in is not
installed in the same folder as your other possible plug-ins, your DAW software may not
detect it.
Activation
All our plug-ins are protected by PACE's iLok system. For correct operation, we
recommend you ensure that you have the latest version of the « iLok License Manager »
software, available for free download at
They require:
•
either an iLok 2 / iLok 3 hardware USB Key (which you can order online or buy from
your music dealer)
•
or a permanent internet connection on your workstation (iLok Cloud system)
Important :
If you choose the iLok Cloud system, it is necessary first of all to open a Cloud
session on your computer by going to the « File > Open Cloud Session » menu of your
iLok License Manager. If you choose an iLok 2 or 3 key, it is necessary to connect it to
your computer before any operation.
When you purchase your software, you will receive:
•
either a license deposited directly onto your iLok account. Just go to the
« Available » tab and drag it to the destination of your choice (here CLOUD for a
cloud license, or iLok_Pulsar for an iLok 2 or 3 key)
