Are they part of the sonar update?

 
They are a separate install.
First you need to redeem them first by going to your cakewalk product page.
Once you redeem them they will show up in command center / or you can download from your account and install.
That's what I did anyway. maybe you don't have to redeem them anymore, have you looked in Command center ?
They are not in the sonar category, they are directly below it.


Noting to redeem on my account page unless you require a redeem number?
Nothing in command center either


Go to this page and then click redeem as you are logged into your account.

I was really surprised that we had to get the email and then "redeem" them through the site after that.  Needlessly complicated and confusing, wonder why they didn't just add it to our accounts, or include them clearly as part of the update as a separate installer (not everyone uses Command Center)


I received no email with a redeem code. I guess a breakdown in the system.

Found it and installed succesfully...
 
But a second question:  Once a Quadcruve preset has been imported, how do you delete it and get back to the default flat line???
 
Thanks...

Open the Initialized preset from the same folder it resets it back.

Thanks! I was looking for the clue for resetting the ProChannel preset as well.  Opening the 'Initialized.pcp' works!

Hi,
For anyone who attempted to download the 30th anniversary EQ presets and can't seem to find them (for example, has clicked on the ProChannel "untitled" and "load preset" button and found no presets loaded (no old presets and none of the 30th anniversary presets) here's the instructions I received from Cakewalk Technical Support:
----------------------------------------------
First go to this folder:
C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Platinum\ProChannel Presets (note, this is not the folder my ProChannel goes to when untitled/load preset is selected--see below)
Are you seeing various .pcp files listed there that start with "30th"? If so, these are the QuadCurve presets you are looking for. 
Reply: Yes I see them.
 
To load them in Sonar:
- Select the track you want to add a preset to.
- Go to: Views | Console View
- In the ProChannel section of the track strip, hover your mouse over the preset window. (It should say "Untitled" by default.)
- Click the folder icon
- This should bring up your ProChannel presets folder, where you can load your QuadCurve presets.
Reply: So how do I get the ProChannel to automatically go to the ProChannel Presets folder (the folder that's set up for ProChannel presets is empty).
 
OK, great! For the folder issue, it looks like correcting this will involve making some registry changes:

- In the Windows search bar, type "Regedit", and then click on regedit to open it
- Click Yes to the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes..." message
- In the window to the left, navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR\Platinum\UserPaths
- In the window to the right, double-click on "ProChannelStripPresetFolder"
- In the "Value data" section, type C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Platinum\ProChannel Presets
- Click OK
Reply:  Excellent!! Everything works as advertised.  For any track I can click on the ProChannel "untitled" and "Load Preset" and select any of the presets I've downloaded from Sonar, to include the 30th anniversary presets.
 
Hope this helps.
Mike

Thanks Mike got it finally
Why it has to be "hidden" under untitled I don't get--it really should be right in your face so to speak.
Were it is ----not easy to find as the very top of this is hidden unless you move the page as far as it will go in console mode.
I also had to go into registry following your clear advice.
Once again many thanks
