Frequently asked questions
Where are preset files stored on my computer?
Each synth stores presets in its own folder, usually inside your <code>Documents</code> or <code>AppData</code> directory. Check the synth settings or manual for the exact path.
Why do my new presets not appear after copying the files?
Most synths require a rescan or restart before new presets appear. Look for a <strong>Rescan</strong>, <strong>Refresh</strong>, or <strong>Reload</strong> option in the preset browser.
What is an .fxp file?
A <code>.fxp</code> file is a single VST preset. A <code>.fxb</code> file is a bank of multiple presets. Both are standard formats supported by most VST plugins.
