instruments: a Bosendorfer 290 Imperial Grand, a German Steinway model D nine-foot
concert grand, and a Yamaha C7 grand. Ivory uses its own exclusive 32-bit playback
and DSP engine, engineered from the ground up specifically for recreating acoustic
piano performance.

Installation Procedure (Macintosh):
Insert the disk Ivory Install 1 into your DVD drive.
Double-click on the disk icon if the window doesnt come up automatically. Double
click Install Ivory to launch the installer and follow the instructions. Youll be prompted
to read and accept our license agreement and read a short text file before proceeding
with installation.
Once in the installer, you have the choice of installing any of the plug-in formats along
with any of the piano libraries. The piano library choices are:
Bosendorfer: Bosendorfer 290 Imperial Grand (16.5 GB)
German_D: German Steinway D 9' Concert Grand (13.5 GB)
Studio_7FT: Yamaha C7 Grand (11 GB)
To install all formats and all libraries, select Easy Install from the pulldown menu at the
top of the window.
Once youve made format and library selections, choose a location to install the large
library files. Use the pull-down menu at the bottom to select the disk and location.
Choose a disk that is fast and has enough free space. To install the entire library youll
need 41 GB of free space.
After making selections and choosing a destination folder, click Install. The installer
may ask you to locate specific folders that it needs to find in order to properly install the
plug-ins that youve specified. When the next DVD is needed, the current one will
eject, and the installer will prompt you and wait for the next DVD to be inserted.
Installing the large library files is resource-intensive, and may take up to an hour or two
to complete. You may click on the Pause button to temporarily stop the installation
process if youd like to take care of other tasks without bogging things down. Simply
click Continue to continue the installation.

Installing Ivory (PC)

Insert the disk Ivory Install 1 into your DVD drive. Double-click on the disk icon if the
window doesn't come up automatically. Double click Install_Ivory_PC to launch the
installer and follow the instructions.
You'll be prompted to read a short welcome message, and then to read and accept
our license agreement before proceeding with installation.
You will be asked to choose a location to install the large library files. Use the file
browser at the bottom to select the disk and location. Choose a disk that is fast and
has enough free space. To install the entire library youll need 41 GB of free space.
After you've chosen a library location, you have the choice of installing any of the
plug-in formats along with any of the piano libraries.
The piano library choices are:
Bosendorfer: Bosendorfer 290 Imperial Grand (16.5 GB)
German_D: German Steinway D 9' Concert Grand (13.5 GB)
Studio_7FT: Yamaha C7 Grand (11 GB)
By default, all plug-in formats and all libraries are selected. The next screen verifies
your choices.
Click Next to begin the installation.
The installer may ask you to locate specific folders that it needs to find in order to
properly install the plug-ins that youve specified.
VST applications only: VST applications (such as Cubase, Nuendo, and Logic)
require VST plug-ins to be installed into a special folder. In most cases a VST
application accepts plug-ins installed in the Vstplugins subfolder under the main
applications folder. Steinberg hosts may also use a shared plug-ins folder.
If you want to use Ivory in more than one VST application, manually copy the plug-in
dll file, which you have installed into the chosen folder, to the appropriate VSTcompatible host application folder. For example, Cubase VST hosts VST plug-ins in its
Vstplugins folder. Cubase VST 5.0 can also host plug-ins in a shared folder called
Shared VST Plug-ins Folder. This folder is usually located at C:
\ProgramFiles\Steinberg\Vstplugins.
In any case, in order to install the Ivory plug-in in other VST compatible applications,
you should refer to the particular application's users guide.
After the plug-ins and other program data files are installed, the Ivory Library
installation starts. When the next DVD is needed, the installer will prompt you to

change disks and press OK to continue the installation.

Installing the large library files is resource-intensive, and may take up to an hour or
two to complete. You may click on the Pause button to temporarily stop the installation
process if youd like to take care of other tasks without bogging things down. Simply
click Continue to continue the installation.
When installation is complete, you must run the Authorize Ivory utilty, located in the
Ivory Items folder, to authorize your current copy of Ivory. This procedure is described
below.
Authorizing Ivory:
When Macintosh installation is complete, the installer will ask if youd like to authorize
your current copy of Ivory. To do this, youll need a web browser to access our
registration page at http://www.synthogy.com/register. Press OK to proceed with
authorization, and you will see the Ivory Authorization Tool dialog box.
On the PC, you will need to locate the Authorize Ivory program in your Ivory Items
folder, and run it.
To register, you need the Machine ID displayed on the Ivory Authorization Tool dialog
box. You will also need the Serial Number found on the inside cover of your manual.
Go to the Synthogy web page and enter this information along with your email
address, etc. into the required fields, and youll be emailed an Unlock Code. Type or
copy/paste this Unlock Code into the Authorize Ivory application to complete
authorization, and youre done!
Please refer to Section 2 of the manual for further information on installing and
authorizing Ivory.
