Greetings,

I must be missing something (trying to install the stock SS2 library from the two DVD's), BUT:

According to the pdf manual, there should be a folder called "SS2INSTRUMENTS" in the location:

(I'm using Mac OS 10.4.10.)

Mac OSX: \Applications\Sonik Synth 2\SS2Instruments

and that just can't be right. When I go into the Applications folder, I see the Sonic Synth 2 application, but there is no folder. Nor is there any "SS2INSTRUMENTS" folder anywhere on my hard drive. Please advise as to where to install these sounds.

Thanks!

Why not just create the folder where it wants? If it is not right then you can reset the instruments folder in the SS2 interface.

I suppose that makes sense. I just wanted to do it right the first time. Why is the manual wrong about this? It's not like I'm using Leopard or anything.

Hmmm...well, you can in fact put it wherever you like and just point SS2 to it after the install.

Normally, on a Mac it would go in /Library/Audio/Application Support/IKMultimedia/Sonik Synth 2/

But honestly, I have mine on another drive in /SS2...

Forgot to mention that after you open SS2, click the prefs ans tell it where the instruments are...
Play what you feel and feel what you play.

Fair enough. I just wonder why the manual was wrong. Oh well; thanks for the assist.

Ok, next question:

I've got SS2 running fine, and I've installed Sampletank and it's libraries ss well. Now I've opened the ST 2.5 Bonus disk, which has 6 folders in it, but no pdf description or manual. Questions:

1. The folder called [Put In Combi Preset Folder]. Where on my Mac (10.4.10) is that located?

2. Where do the other 5 folders go, in the same location that I installed the Expansion Tanks?

Thanks?
