Kind of figured that out, as i did think the converter would check my whole system to find out if i had exported presets.
But thanks for the claryfication. That can allways be useful to get.
The important thing is you can see and select each indivivdual preset you wan't to convert. At that i understand i can.
And then i can run the process as many times i like.

Is it your your exported presets and presets banks you can select to convert?
sorry, forgot some explanations on this point.
the preset converter will search only presets/banks you created and saved. it won't consider exported ones. The reason is because the converter is searching inside vc4 software resources, where your created ( but not exported) presets/banks are located.

Just to be clear, The preset converter process goes like this :
- You have a disclaimer on opening
- Clicking on "Scan" will scan USER presets from VC4 instruments you own. Note these presets will show up if you have VC5 instruments installed.
- Once the scan is done, every bank/ preset is default ticked, you're free to tick or untick what you like.
- Then, pressing convert will launch the converting process, this step is fast.
- At the end you'll see the number of presets successfully converted, and maybe some modified/renamed ( reasons explained on the opening disclaimer)

Thanks for your info.
Looks like it can be a controlled process on how many preset's and when to convert then.
Is it your your exported presets and presets banks you can select to convert?
I'm on PC. Would be nice if it works the same on Windows.

« on: June 29, 2016, 01:15:04 am »What happens when i activate the preset converters .exe file?
will it automaticly convert all my presets?
Or will it - as i prefere it to do - install a application where i manually can select a saved Preset file or Bank file (Not from the hidden imported preset files inProgramData but form another folder where i have my exports) . and only convert what i wan't to convert one by one if i wan't too?
If it autoamaticly converts everything then it can be a mess. Especially if things has to be re-organised as i understand it need to and when the save procedures is'nt functioning as they should.
Can the factory presets be converted?
Will the factoury presets if so be converted automaticticly? And how about doubbles as many old factory presets allready is in VC5?
An article and perhaps a movie about this would be useful.

The converter keeps the V-Collection 4 presets untouched.
It only converts them and automatically save the resulting presets in the V-Collection 5 presets location.
