Preset location

[Mark King]

How do I change the preset location? I have just rebuilt my PC and installed SD3 again. I have my presets and edrum map on a separate drive but SD3 only wants to look in
C:UsersmarkmOneDriveDocumentsToontrackSuperior3EdrumPresets
C:UsersmarkmOneDriveDocumentsToontrackSuperior3PresetsEZXSL-SUPERIOR_DRUMMER_3S3Presets

I don’t seem to have the options to change this to my Samples drive. Also when I dropped my presets into the S3 presets folder and close and open they appear but the presets are all just called SAMPLER.

I backed up everything before the rebuild so managed to keep them all but I don’t want them saved to the OneDrive If I have to then I would like my previous created presets to appear correctly once I put them in there.

SD2 had that feature but SD3 hasn’t. It may be implemented in a future update.
In some respects it is only the GUI part that is lacking and it may be possible
for somebody to examine the registry for SD2 and then hack the registry
for SD3 to similar effect. Of course, this is unsupported and if it works now it may
stop working at any update of SD3.

LOL – what a ghost town it is – Im having the exact same ‘SAMPLER” ( User preset name ) issue – so I Googled it in Nov 2022 and found this thread – crickets since 2018……

Well I will be decent enough in case this gets searched in the future.

 

1- SAMPLER is a name given to a preset if the preset uses part of a library that you do not own.

2 – It appears that in order to ‘relocate’ your presets ( or reset them as I had to ) that you have to open the preset by right clicking on it, telling it to open file using SD3 and then SAVE the kit again and SD3 then places your newly saved kit in its correct folder/ per library. This must have changed in a SD3 update as I used to have ALL my presets in one folder , now SD3 saves them in each library’s specific ‘preset’ folder- but you cant just copy them in there, you must load and resave.

 

Thanks me later.
