Title: Mini V Presets
Post by: Switchmonkey on November 23, 2019, 09:51:48 pm
Hey all,  I cannot get Mini V3 to import Presets/Banks, or anything for that matter that were exported from Mini V2. Any ideas?

Hi and welcome to Arturia forums.

There are lots of information about this in the forums allready. So in short:
Arturias preset system changed when V-Collection 5 arrived.
Unless you own the old Arturia applications, have them installed and have the preset converter that was made at that time, then you can't do anything. Then you need the new format to use the presets.

I can add, that the Mini V filter also was changed, so especially old presets using emphasis can sound very different in the new Mini V.

I can also add that most presets Arturia had allrady is in the new Mini V. And some have posted new or converted presets. Others have not, perhaps because they need to be reworked anyway to sound correct.

If you buy presets form others than Arturia, then make sure, that they are in the new format and reworked.

Sure,

I found the Preset Updater somewhere online.  Luckily, I was able to recover all my custom bank files.  Some tweaking was required, but I still have them.  In the meanwhile, I'll continue using older AUs leftover from previous installs.
