Download and Installation Guide for AmpliTube LE for MacOS

Summary: There are three basic steps to this process: downloading, installing, and authorizing. In preparation, you should first have purchased, downloaded and installed RiffWorks Standard, and if you have an earlier version of AmpliTube LE installed, you should uninstall it.

Install Amplitube LE

  1. On the Desktop, extract/unstuff the files from the AmpliTube Stuffit file. Double-click on AmpliTube_LE_demo_OSX to start the AmpliTube installation wizard, and click Continue.
  2. Click the ACCEPT button on the EULA after speed-reading and thoroughly digesting all the legalese. We recommend an appropriate digestive aid at this point. Click Next.
  3. Click INSTALL, leaving the installation disk set to MACINTOSH HD.
  4. You should quickly see an installation complete dialog, click QUIT. If you go to the Applications folder you will see an IK Multimedia file folder. Within the IK Multimedia file folder is an AmpliTube LE file folder that contains a Documentation file folder. It is in this folder that the Installation guide, the User guide, and the License agreement can be found.
  5. You will not see an executable program, since AmpliTube LE will be launched as a Plugin from RiffWorks. You may want to print the Installation guide to help with the authorization step.

Authorization

  1. AmpliTube LE will run for 10 days without completing the authorization step. When launched from RiffWorks it will start with an Authorization Wizard dialog. You will need three numbers to complete authorization:
    1. The Serial Number which you downloaded earlier in step 1.4;
    2. a digital ID which will link the Serial Number to the computer you will be using the software on. This will be generated by the authorization wizard;
    3. and an authorization code, which you will have to get online from IK Multimedia.
  2. Launch AmpliTube LE from RiffWorks. To do this, turn off Hardware Monitoring in the INPUT MONITOR panel (bottom of the UI) by clicking on the HARDWARE button. The HARDWARE LED will go out, and you will see a warning dialog about additional latency in monitoring input effects like Amp model plugins. Click OK.
  3. Click the EFFECTS button in the INPUT MONITOR panel to show the Input Effects control panel. At the top of the panel are buttons for the different input effects, including the AMP button for amp models. Click on the AMP button drop down arrow, and select REFRESH LIST to allow RiffWorks to recognize AmpliTube LE. Click on the Drop down arrow a second time to select AmplTube LE and the AmpliTube LE Authorization Wizard is launched.
  4. In the second window of the Wizard, insert your Serial Number from the downloaded note pad file from 1.4 and click NEXT.
  5. In window 3, leave the selection for REQUEST NEW AUTHORIZTION and click next.
  6. Choose how to connect to the internet in window 4, and either provide your user ID and password as an IK Multimedia user if you have an account, or choose to create a new account in window 5.
  7. Window 6 displays the DIGITAL ID created to link the Serial Number to your computer, a button to REGISTER ONLINE. Click the Register Button, and follow the instructions to register as a user at the IK Multimedia Web Site. At the end of the registration process, an authorization code will be displayed, as well as transmitted to the email address which you gave during the registration process. COPY the authorization code, and return to the Wizard.
  8. Click NEXT, and in window 7, place the cursor in the first field of the blank authorization code, and click the PASTE button. Click NEXT, and the final window is displayed, with all three required codes completed. Print this screen or the email which also has the three codes, and click FINISH.
