DSP Card Installed but no plugins?

I installed my card, updated the firmware…everything appears as it should. I was following the livestream, saw Brad download Aether…cool. But I do not see anything factory installed in my folders. I know the ad copy says:

Built-in FX Plugins Include:

  • Reverbs
  • Delays
  • Bitcrushers
  • Compressors
  • EQs & Filters
  • Classic MDA FX Suite & Airwindows Plugins Preloaded

But I can’t for the life of me find them in my machine.
Probably user error, so please help!

Thanks!

Just to check, was there a folder called DSP or DSP Card installed in the root of your SD card? When I first tried to open the DSP card, I found an empty folder called dspcard (all lower case) in my personal folder on the SD card. I thought the same thing as you, that the plugins weren’t installed. After going back to the root folder of my SD card, I found the actual DSP folder with all the plugins in it.

This is the correct answer

Copying and pasting from another post:

There are NO plugins on your SD Card. Unless you put them there (see below)
There are over 100 plugins already installed to the DSP module itself.

When you click add plugin/preset on a pad, it will present with an explorer window, giving you the following choices.

-Internal
-SD Card (You’re never going to load plugins here, but if you saved a plugin preset, that will save here, under /Presets/ you can also load saved presets from here:

-DSP Card (This is where plugins are)
— Airwindows Plugins
— MDA Plugins
— User Plugins

Installing new plugins involves copying them into the relevant folder on your SD card and then using the plugin sync function which will copy them from your SD Card and install them onto the DSP Module. If you then delete those plugins from the SD Card, it will also remove them from the module as it keeps sync between the two internal and SD card folders.
All this will be explained in videos and in the manual coming shortly, we’re just busy getting them out the door right now, so please just enjoy and explore the internal stuff for a short while.

@roborr - thanks for the explanation. I didn’t get to finish Brad’s livestream, because I got interrupted. Your explanation clears everything up. I’ll try it later. Thanks again. I understand now!
