CDP PC INSTALLATION
The PC downloads no longer have an installer exe (since 29th August), as there is really no need for one.

There are two versions of the PC download: CDP8_001_PC.zip and CDP8_001Lite_PC.zip. (The Lite version just omits the offline CDP documentation, which is available online.)

Each zip contains a folder "CDPR8" and some supporting docs. Unzip and place the CDPR8 folder in a location of your choice (but not one that has spaces in the path, e.g. NOT in "Program Files"). You can rename CDPR8 if you wish. That's all.

CDPR8 contains two UIs - Soundloom and Soundshaper. (Soundthread is not included yet, as it's in active development.) The CDP programs are housed in CDPR8\_cdp\_cdprogs. Soundloom expects to find them there; Soundshaper looks there initially, but its settings can support a different location. Soundthread also needs to know where they are. Any use of the command-line processor would also need this path.

Thank you Robert Fraser. really appreciate it. I havent checked yet but does this leave sound thread out of the picture? this is a different topic  gonna check out these GUIs first. has anyone installed this on a ESP32 or ras pie and use it like a guitar pedal effects processor?

No of course not! For Soundthread, you need the CDP download so you have the CDP program set.
