Below is a table listing the locations for a lot of useful folders and files used for ROLI and FXpansion plugin installations.
This should be helpful if you cannot find certain presets in their synths and want to check if the sounds were installed correctly.
Tips:
- In all cases where you see [username], replace this with your PC/Mac's username.
- To head straight to the folder, open Finder, press shift-cmd-G (Mac), paste the pathway in and hit Enter. For Windows, open File Explorer, press Win+R then paste the pathway in and hit Enter.
- To add Soundpacks to Strobe2 or Cypher2, simply click and drag the Soundpack folder onto the synth's preset browser.
