Saving FAVOURITE plug-in presets

When saving FAVOURITE plug-in presets, I've noticed that it only saves the unedited version. If you want to pull an edited version into a new project, then you have to save it using the BROWSER and into a folder. Is that correct?

What way otjer than the browser can they be saved and loaded? I don’t get it.

Favorites can be saved by just holding down an empty 'block' for a couple of seconds as seen here.

Go to around 14mins in.

Actually in posting the reply above, I noticed on the video when Les recalled the 'Piano' preset, the data wasn't the default setting but an editing setting. Look carefully at the 'level' and dynamics' settings and you'll see they are different than the preset '50' setting. This means that the current OS I'm using (3.9.0) has a bug or as Lampdog stated in another thread, my OS has become corrupted by downloading via wi-fi. I'm going to see if I can upgrade the firmware using a pen drive.

I just upgraded the firmware to 3.9.1 via a thumb drive and the FAVORITE still has this bug of only storing the default preset. I will talk to A.I. and see if this can be logged as such.

OK, so this was the reply.

Hi Alan — based on our official info, this does look consistent with preset state not being saved automatically, rather than me being able to confirm a documented 3.9.1 bug.

What we do have says plugin settings and the project/plugin state are saved separately. If you edit a factory preset and don’t use the plug-in’s own Save control to create a new saved state, it can revert to the original preset later.

So please try this quick check:

load the factory preset
make your edits
in the plug-in window, click Save and create a new user preset/state
then assign/store that as a Favorite
reload the Favorite and test


If it still recalls the default preset after that, then it’s reasonable to treat it as a possible bug/issue in 3.9.1.

And I'm pleased to report IT WORKS!

If you edit a plug-in, then save it using the plug-ins 'SAVE' tab (I have created a folder in my USER space on my XL which is designated [Presets / plug-in name / preset name]. Then save this preset to one of 'FAVORITE' blocks. When you open a new project, the FAVORITE block you saved is available with all your edits.
