Dimension Pro Preset List

It seems I've seen a similar question asked, but can't find it. So... There are some 1500 presets(maybe more with expansion packs) for Dim Pro. In the past when I have bought hardware synths (such as Alesis or Proteus), a list of the presets was included. At that time the hardware had only 256 sounds each, but the listing was very handy in finding the sounds since there seemed to be little logic used in assigning numbers. For example, on the Proteus 1, there was a Hall Strings preset numbered 001 (or thereabouts), another type of strings (isham strings) around 023 and two more Hall Strings at 110 and 111...along with variously numbered other string presets. So, with more than 1500 Dim Pro presets, is there not a listing I can print out or have open in a Word window for quick scanning? Yes, I know the box opens and there is a listing of every instrument (which, if it can be highlighted or marked in some way, I don't know how to do it). And, no, I really don't want to create new folders for every sound I might possibly want to use. That's an awful lot of clutter on an already cluttered preset listing. Please help. Thanx in advance.

thanks, czyky. I will give that a try. If I can just get the preset names into microsoft word without having to retype them, I can put them in a format that is easy to deal with. I really like Dim Pro and learn a new trick (new for me, anyway) almost everyday. But there's a lot of time wasted sampling sounds that could be applied to being a little more creative.

there is a way to do it, I've done it before in the past for the proteus packs for DSF :) . 

2 methods really.. do the same thing

METHOD 1 (for people who know their way around DOS / command prompt)
ok, you need to navigate to your DP programs folder in commmand prompt .. depends on your windows version.. on 7 / 64 bit it is.. "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs" 

first type in "CMD" and you'll get a dos prompt / window  in windows run / search bar 

 then do 
c: 
cd \ 
cd prog (then press TAB till "programData" comes up) 
cd cake (then press TAB till "cakewalk" comes up) 
cd Dim (then press TAB till "Dimension Pro" comes up) 
cd Prog (then press TAB till "program" comes up") 
dir *.prog /s > c:\myset.txt 


---------------------------

METHOD 2

open notepad / copy and paste this > 

dir *.prog /s > c:\myset.txt 

then save it as "presets.bat" to the desktop etc..

open sonar / start Dim Pro or start stand alone.. "load prog" and the bar at the top will have 
"C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs"  

highlight / copy that (CTRL + C)

close sonar / DP

open windows explorer or my computer

navigate to the address bar at the top.. PRESS CTRL +V 

and you should have C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs

go up a level to "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro"

which should read

programs
sample pool
tuning 


copy / pasted the "presets.bat" to that folder and double click it.. it'll run  / generate a text file called "myset.txt" which you can edit / alter in word etc  , it's located in C drive in \ (the root folder)


 and I use either crimson edit / context to remove the data you don't need
