User’s Manual
Installing the Chrome Tone plug-in on Windows XP
The Chrome Tone plug-in Package includes this manual, ReadMe and Release Notes, a folder of presets for the Chrome
Tone Plug-in, and the Chrome Tone plug-in. Two copies of the Chrome Tone Licensing Agreement are included - one in this
pdf manual and a second as a separate text le. The Chrome Tone manual requires that Adobe Acrobat reader (or similar .pdf
reader) is installed.
Both online and boxed version will come with a Chrome Tone installer that will automatically install the Chrome Tone
plug-in and its presets on your system. The authorization of the Chrome Tone plug-in is still required after running the
installer, and those steps are detailed in the following sections.
Installing the Chrome Tone plug-in and presets with the Installer:
The Chrome Tone plug-in package purchased at your local dealer will be on CDROM and contain a Windows self
extracting executable (.exe) similar to the online Chrome Tone plug-in package prepared for Internet delivery. Both
the boxed and online versions the Chrome Tone plug-in executable le will automatically install the plug-in and its
presets on your system. Double click the le to launch the installer which will install the Chrome Tone plug-in, presets,
and documentation. At any time after installation, you may access the documentation from the Windows ‘Start Menu’
under the ‘McDSP’ group.
Authorization of the Chrome Tone plug-in is still required after running the installer, and those steps are detailed in
the following sections. Note that after installing new versions of the PACE iLok drivers with the Chrome Tone plug-in
installer, you will be prompted by the Chrome Tone plug-in installer to reboot your system. If you are not prompted by
the installer, there is no need to reboot.
• Insert the McDSP ‘HD Disk,’ ‘Native Disk,’ or ‘LE Disk’ CDROM onto an available CDROM drive.
• Navigate to the Chrome Tone plug-in folder on the CDROM - the installer application is contained therein.
• Run the Chrome Tone plug-in Installer application to install the Chrome Tone plug-in, presets, and documentation to
a local folder on your system. The plug-in will be placed in the ‘plug-ins’ folder, and the presets will be placed in the
‘plug-ins Settings’ folder.
• If a previous version of the Chrome Tone plug-in (or other HD, Native, or LE version) was already in the plug-ins
folder, it will automatically be updated (or replaced) by the installer.
Re-installing the Chrome Tone plug-in presets manually:
In you wish to restore the factory default presets, it may be useful to know how to manually re-install only the presets.
• Go to the plug-in Settings folder:
• C:\Program Files\Common Files\Digidesign\DAE\plug-in Settings\
• If Pro Tools™ has not already done so for you, create a folder called ‘McDSP<space>Chrome Tone’.
• Place a copy of the folder from the Chrome Tone plug-in package called ‘Presets’ into the ‘McDSP<space>Chrome
Tone’ folder. The presets are now viewable (after restarting Pro Tools™) from the settings popup menu for an
Chrome Tone plug-in.
Note it may be necessary to re-start Pro Tools™ in order for the newly added ‘Presets’ folder to be viewable from the
Settings popup inside the Chrome Tone plug-in window toolbar.
