Frequently asked questions
Where are preset files stored on my computer?
Each synth has its own preset folder, usually inside your Documents or AppData directory. Check the synth settings or manual for the exact path.
Why do my new presets not appear after copying the files?
Most synths require a rescan or restart before new presets appear. Look for a Rescan, Refresh, or Reload option in the preset browser.
What is an .fxp file?
An .fxp file is a single VST preset. An .fxb file is a bank of multiple presets. Both are standard formats supported by most VST plugins.
