some plugins work instantly with preset browsing...

Reaktor ensembles load their whole associated "snapshots" list
GForce Oddity 2 loads its long single list of presets
Microtonic loads up with its presets you can scroll through all of them

other plugins don't work so well...

GForce Minimonsta has its presets all in folders, they don't show up. i tried moving all the presets out of their folders into the parent and reloading the program but you still only get a single preset that shows up on the hardware.

omnisphere just shows a enthusiastic <none>


is there a way a user can make a folder somewhere in the VST data structure to move/copy presets into that MPC hardware can consistently access?

or maybe make a folder with links that point to wherever the plugin actually stores them? that's how i do it in Ableton to make custom VST folders...have Ableton reference any random folder anywhere, the folder containing only links to the actual plugin locations in their various places on the disk, Ableton displays the link as a plugin and it opens the actual plugin. maybe that would work for MPC to be able to access the gagillions of presets in omnisphere.

any plans to incorporate folder structures functionality into preset browsing system wide? thanks
