Hi all,
 
Where does Sonar keep any *fxp and *vstpreset files by default? Is there any option to change the default path so the drop-down preset menu from a plugin window shows the presets in this folder?
 
Thanks!

this is pretty plugin-independent as far as i can tell.  just as a heads up cakewalk decided to use the extension .fxpreset for vst3 presets instead of steinberg's standard .vstpreset - so, in the plugin wrapper, when you select load preset you can't select anything with the .vstpreset extension.  the only way around this is if the plugin itself has a browser built in that lets you choose the .vstpreset file, which would be compatible with the files saved when creating presets in cubase, etc.

if your on about cake's own synths some of their browsers are custom and don't have that = not so great for integrating into kore.
 

@fog - but you can save any of cakewalk's synth programs as vst presets, for whatever reason in some places it is more useful.  in the synth window, click the arrow next to "VST" and click save preset.  load preset will load the fxp just fine.

Thanks for the responses, guys.
 
There does seem to be an issue with Steinberg VST3 plugins such as Retrologue and Padshop. These synths rely on the DAW's preset browser for managing and loading presets. The problems is, as was mentioned above, the Steinberg standard is to use the .vstpreset suffix for presets whereas Cakewalk have chosen to use the .fxpreset suffix instead. This means that I cannot see or load any presets for these synths.

do they work if you change the file extension via explorer? seems a bizarre decision,maybe a baker could elaborate?

Sorry about that. I think it was an oversight/typo to call it .vstpreset. It should have been .vstpreset for vst3 and .fxp for VST2 (which is correct)
I'll change it in the next update.

Thanks Noel.
 
Would it be possible to drag & drop .vstpreset files from the browser directly onto a VST3 plugin? Would that work?

thanks noel :)

No but it would be a nice enhancement :)
