FFTease

bonehead696

sorry, this is a really dumb question -
where is the best place to place the FFTease folder of objects once downloaded?

using PD extended 0.42.5 on MACOS 5.8 at the moment

thanks

Usually it's the extra folder. Right click on the application icon -> show package contents -> contents -> resources -> extra
But still, I had to use Path, in order to have the objects up and running. So, once you've opened Pd, go to Pd-extended -> Preferences -> Path, and set the path of the library folder there.

That approach isn't really recommended. First, if you install an updated version of Pd-extended, it won't use that old extra folder (and may overwrite it), so you have to manually move them around for each new update. Second, Pd-extended 0.43 doesn't let you mess with the preferences files any more. You have to add paths/load libraries within the patch itself.

This is the preferred approach for installing libs:
