Introduction
This handbook will guide you through the installation and use of the Architect software on your Windows® PC or Mac®. Architect empowers you to design the sound in your head by unlocking deep editing of patches and providing fine control of your amplifier from your computer. If you have a compatible amplifier, through Architect you will also gain access to CAB RIG. CAB RIG offers you the opportunity to further refine your tone through cabinet selection, alternate microphone types and adjustment of microphone positioning
Architect also provides access to an online community of worldwide users for sharing your sounds.

How to Install/Uninstall
Installing
To install Architect, click the website link below and download the correct version for your operating system from the list: www.architect.blackstar.co.uk
If you currently have Blackstar Insider installed on your computer, then the message “Existing Insider Installation” will appear when you try and load Architect for the first time. This is due to the fact that Insider must be uninstalled for Architect to connect correctly to your device. Please follow the instructions in the pop up message to ensure that Architect is able to function properly on your computer.
Windows
Once downloaded, go to the “Downloads” folder in “File Explorer” and move Architect from this folder to your preferred save location for easier access. Architect is a self-executable program and so does not need to be installed.
It is recommended that you do not save Architect within the “Program Files” folder, as it will not be able to automatically update. If you use the “Desktop” or “Documents” folders Architect’s “Auto Update” feature will function properly.
Mac
Once downloaded, go to the “Downloads” folder in “Finder” and double click on the Architect DMG. Once the DMG has opened, drag Architect into your applications folder, as you are prompted to do so by the on-screen instructions. This will automatically copy Architect to the correct location, and it should always be run from the applications folder.
Uninstalling
Windows
Simply delete Architect from wherever you have it saved on your computer. If you copied Architect from your downloads folder, make sure that you delete it from there as well.
Uninstalling the Architect software will not remove any files from the working directory within the Documents folder on your computer. It is recommended that you do not delete these files if you intend to reinstall Architect.
Mac
To uninstall Architect from your Mac, simply drag the Architect application from the Applications folder into the Trash.
Upgrading
Upgrading Amplifier Firmware
A new version of the Architect software may also include a packaged update to your amplifier firmware in order to improve or add new features.
Each time the Architect software is launched (with your amplifier connected to your computer and powered on) the current version of your amplifier firmware will be checked automatically. If your amplifier contains an older version of the firmware you will be prompted to install the latest firmware.
Once you have confirmed the update, the process will begin and a progress bar will appear on screen to indicate the approach towards completion.
IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect or switch off your amplifier whilst the firmware is being updated as this may result in your amplifier becoming non-functional. If you experience any problems with your amplifier, connect it to your computer via USB and run the Architect software again to confirm valid firmware.
Upgrading Architect
Architect will automatically detect updates upon launch (if you have it saved in a recommended location) and prompt you to update if there is a new version available.
Getting Started
Open Architect and connect your amp via USB to your computer. Architect will automatically configure itself to your amplifier. If it is available for your amplifier, CAB RIG will be displayed instead of or alongside the usual Architect window.
The Architect Workspace
The image above displays how Architect launches when an ID:Core Stereo 20 V3 is connected. If you have a different Blackstar amplifier, then Architect may configure itself differently.
