Many thanks for your reply.
Running on Windows 10 x64. Really not sure what was meant by Synology or even ffmpeg so blindly followed the instruction that worked for them!
Did the following:
1. Downloaded the latest Win 10 version from:
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-ins...n-windows/
2. Unzipped.
3. Renamed the extracted folder to ffmpeg and copied it to:
C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\MinimServer\opt\bin
4. Run cmd as an administrator and set the environment path variable for ffmpeg by running the following command:
setx /m PATH "C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\MinimServer \opt\bin\ffmpeg;%PATH%"
cmd reports " SUCCESS: Specified value was saved."
5. Rebooted PC then verified the installation by running cmd as an administrator:
ffmpeg -version

Modified the setting:
stream converter: ffmpeg
This appears to have solved the ffmpeg issue, but then I got the error:
'convOut' version incorrect for converter'...

After rereading 'streaming options' and 'convolution filtering' in userguide I
finished up with:
stream options: convOut=-i "C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\MinimServer\opt\bin\convolution\1impulse.wav" -lavfi afir
Where all instances of 'your-user-name' above is replaced with my own username!

No errors!
My initial settings to get a working minimal convolution file are thus:
stream.converter: ffmpeg
stream.options: convOut=-i "C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\MinimServer\opt\bin\convolution\1impulse.wav" -lavfi afir
stream.transcode: flac:wav;

I hope this helps others get started down this road.
