Where is the Folder where the included effects are stored?

The reason is-- I have been using the Plugin Doctor to test all my compressors and EQ's. I now have the new version that you can run as a VST 3 inside your Daw. This allows you to test locked plugins that cannot be used outside of that Daw. But you need to browse to the folder location to load the plug in. I even tried a search of the Program Files folder and can't find them anywhere. I googled the question and as usual it was outdated.
Thank you.

I think you might have to install the VST versions of S1's plugins for testing in plugin doctor. The package is called "Presonus Hub".
The native stock plugins won't load in PluginDoctor because they use a proprietary format.. and to my knowledge, they don't even exist as separate files like .dll or vst3 to be found by Plugin Doctor.

Thank you. No problem. Kind of of figured so. I have other ways I can test them. I doubt there's any issues really. The most important one for me is seeing if they generate Harmonics when pushed. That's easy to test using the Melda Oscillator and any spectrum analyzer.

Another good one for exposing potential volume- and spectrum-changes of plugins is Bertom Curve Analyzer.
