Importing SD2 presets and locations

[Jeffrey Colgan]

Hi,

I’ve scanned the forum and cannot see a specific posting that is the same, so…

Since installing SD3 I cannot:
a) import any of my SD2 user presets into SD2; and
b) import any of my SD2 user presets into SD3 after loading the relevant SDX.

My SD2 presets seem to be stored in a somewhat strange location though (on my external drive – see attachment), so that could be part of the problem? Additionally, although I’ve saved a couple of new presets in SD3, I can’t actually work out where they are located – as I’d considered copying my SD2 presets to the same location.

Can you help?

Hi,

normally User presets are saved on the System drive and I don’t think you can change that.
You would find them in ‘/Users/*yourname*/Library/Application Support/Toontrack/Superior2’ and ‘/Users/*yourname*/Library/Application Support/Toontrack/Superior3’ respectively.

BR,
John

In SD2 you can set the path to where your user presets reside.

Most of my user presets are those that I’ve setup to play with my Roland e-drums, which I connect to a macbook pro rather than my main iMac. So it made sense to save these presets to the same mobile drive that contain the sound libraries – otherwise I’ve have to manually copy them back to the system drive of the iMac if I record anything.

Either way can I ask if you’d then recommend that I create a new path / folders on the system drive and copy over my old presets – will the SD3 software then pick these up and make them available as a SD2 user preset?

Thanks,

Jeff

As long as SD2 can pick up the SD2 user presets then so can SD3.
I see no reason why installing SD3 should make SD2 forget about
where your presets are but the straight forward approach is to
go into SD2 settings and click on the “Set Path To Presets” button
and browse for the location of your presets. From your picture
I gather that it would be Glyph-1TB > Toontrack > Superior2.

It worked – many thanks for your help and assistance.
