No instructions on where does the customer install the Bundles, Presets, and Score Library after downloading them. Where do they go?

I noticed also there is no settings in the Preferences available to give these folder locations either. You should make this flexible to allow the customer to install these files in their preferred location and not hard code this only known to you.

Please provide the exact folder names and hierarchy so I can install this properly. As it stands, I cannot bind the sounds from the Bundles to Notion 6 nor use the Presets. Also, there is nothing in the User Manual even describing Presets.

I would suggest that you have at least README files that come along with the ZIP files.

Assuming you installed Notion in C:\Notion 6

Presets
--------------------------------
Can be located anywhere but best to store it in its own folder as a subfolder of the application
C:\
  \Notion 6
    \Presets
      \Sample Logic Fanfare Preset
      \Sample Logic Impakt Preset
      \Sample Logic Rumble Preset
      \Sample Logic VET Preset

Bundles
-------------------------------------
Can be located anywhere but best to store it in its own folder as a subfolder of the application. In addition, the Samples Folder setting in Preferences | Audio tab must be set appropriately or no sounds and instruments will be bound to the demo files, Score Library, and your own scores.
C:\
  \Notion 6
    \Sounds
      All .prox files with no subfolders

Score Library
--------------------------------------
Can be located anywhere but best to store it in its own folder as a subfolder of the application
C:\
  \Notion 6
    \Notion Score Library 6.0
       \ 1. Complete pieces
       \ 2. Excerpts
       \ 3. Piano Pieces

Hi,
the sound files (or prox files) are contained within their own installers, and will install into the correct place. You can indeed then locate them anywhere - you need to go to Preferences>Audio>Locate to tell Notion where they have been moved to.

The Score library can be saved anywhere on your computer where convenient - Notion does not need to know where.

For more info on installing presets, the PreSonus knowledge base has some good articles:

And specifically for Sample Logic presets and Notion here:
