3 Installation

3.1 Serial number

The miniSyn'X only uses a simple serial number protection.
When you launch the miniSyn'X for the first time, it will ask for this number.
After submitting, you must close the plug in and reload it it once in your host to complete the
registration. This serial number will never be asked for again, even when installing updates.
Tip: It is always a good idea to back up this serial number, or to print it, in case you should
have to reinstall miniSyn'X (i.e. if you encountered a HD crash for example, or have to
reinstall your OS).

3.2 Windows (Windows 7,8,10,11)

To install miniSyn'X on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, launch miniSyn'X installer file.
Please download the latest version from the XILS-lab website.

Once you have accepted the license agreement, you will be asked to select the installation directory.
A destination directory is provided as a default. Presets and various files, like this manual, used by
miniSyn'X will be stored in this directory. Please note that this location is different from the VST
install directory, which you will need to specify in the next step of the installer.
Once the installation directory is specified, you will be asked to select the VST plug-in directory, with
a suggested default location. Keep this default directory if you do not use the VST version.
Important notice for Vista or Windows 7:
user (do not use "c:/program files" for instance). Otherwise you will have to run your music
application with "administrator rights".
