The new update appears to be finding my Platinum Samples kits ok. In the case of Rock Legends it shows up under the "Kits" tab, and in the case of Evil Drums, they show up under the "Preset" tab.



 
All my kits and kit pieces are in BFD3 or BFD2 format so Eco won't load them.
It has picked up the PS folder now so the kit pieces will load. I just checked the PS site thinking they might have the kit presets in Eco format but they don't.
 
I have the Andy Johns & Joe berresi kits but can't see any presets in my account.

Under my Preset tab, the Evil Drum ones show up as "EJB... ".  I can't recall if I got those Eco Presets off of the Fxpansion site, the Platinum Samples site, or the Evil Drums disk. I probably did the preset downloads from all of them. BTW, I just logged into my Platinum samples account--and there are Evil Drums presets for ECO.

That's odd, they're not in my account, I have Evil drums and Andy John Classics but all I see for both of them is the manual, the drums and an extra kick. I'll email Rail to see if he can sort me out some.

I think this came up once before. I think you see them if you have the dvd version otherwise it's incorporated into the download installer. Or I could be totally wrong :)

Yeah, Rail will fix you up. In my account on the Platinum Samples web site, it is the first download for Evil Drums under "US Central Server". The file name says "BFD2 presets", but if you look to the right under "Description", it indicates that it also includes Eco presets.

You might be right. I have the DVDs.

Steve has the download version and installed the BFD3 option.. which, since the file format isn't (or at least wasn't) compatible with Eco didn't install the Eco presets.  If he'd installed the BFD2 option it would have installed the Eco presets.  I wasn't aware that the new Eco supported the new file format… so I've emailed Steve the presets and I'll create an installer for the download option today.
 
Thanks,

Brilliant,
 
Thanks Rail, just got your other email.
 
Yeah it's weird, fxpansion haven't mentioned anything about Eco being able to read the BFDLAC format in their release notes and I've had no notification from them of the update.
I only discovered it via this post from gmon72.
