How to copy presets to another machine?

Software Instruments Analog Lab

Hi there,
I’m switching to a new computer.
After reinstalling all VST via Arturia Software Center, I am missing all my user-presets, my favorites and category-assigments (red, yellow etc.).

Where are these stored and how can I transfer them to the new machine?

Mac or PC?

If you’re on PC then you can find them here C:\ProgramData\Arturia\Presets.
If you decide to just copy and paste from your old to your new machine, you might also want to delete the ‘db.db3’ file too, I usually fire up ALV and let it rebuild the presets data base, you can watch this in real time by looking at The Home page in ALV.
HTH!

Great, that helped!

I copied the ‘user’ folders of my instruments and the db.db3 and the playlists-directory from Analog Lab.
Now it seems all is available on the new machine.

Which has a better CPU and more RAM than the old one, so fortunately no more crackles with the beautiful Augmented PIANO! :slight_smile:

Hi there, I can’t locate the db.db3 file. It should be in the Arturia preset folder, isn’t it ? I’m on Mac Sonoma.
