Governor / Getting started
Install Governor.
Make your first sound.
Governor installs like any other plug-in. Quit your DAW, run the installer for your computer, then rescan plugins.
MAC — INSTALL
1. Download the Mac installer from the Governor page or your account. Quit your DAW and other audio apps. 2. Open Governor-Field-Unit-1.2.0-Mac.pkg directly. There is no ZIP to extract. 3. Complete the installer. Enter your Mac administrator password if asked. 4. Restart your DAW and rescan plugins. Load Governor as a VST3 audio effect (in Pro Tools it is the AAX plug-in, under the Harmonic category; no iLok needed). If Governor does not appear, use the next section.
MAC — PLUGIN NOT SHOWING IN YOUR DAW
Quit the DAW, enable VST3 scanning, and rescan. If Governor is still missing, check that the installer put the plugin in its standard location: VST3: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Governor Field Unit.vst3 AU: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Governor Field Unit.component Standalone app: /Applications/Governor Field Unit.app In Finder, choose Go → Go to Folder and paste the folder to check. If a copy also exists in ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/, chat with us before removing either copy. Restart the DAW and rescan. If a problem persists, send support the exact message you see.
WINDOWS — INSTALL
1. Download the Windows installer from the Governor page or your account. 2. Run Governor-Field-Unit-1.2.0-Windows-x64.exe and follow the setup. Keep VST3 selected. 3. Rescan plugins in your DAW.
