Xpand 2 - missing presets?

[TLK Tom]

Hi guys, just a quickie:

did a complete reformat/reinstall of PT straight to 8.0.4 a few weeks back via the latest installers from the digi website, but it appears that all my presets are missing in xpand/hybrid. Just to clarify, the patches and sounds are all present, but when i go to the preset drop down (in the global plugin GUI) there is only 'Factory Default' and nothing else.

Is there any way to rectify this?

Cheers in advance,

Tom.

Maybe your Root folder is tweaked

Preset(menu)>settings preferences>Set root settings folder...

When you click that, you should be looking at an "open file dialog" and you want to have that set to the "Plug-In Settings" folder. Don't select the named plugin folder for the plug you have open, you are just selecting the folder where all the individual plugin settings folders reside. The way you choose it is a little counter-intuitive..

With Windows, on PT 11 (and its probably the same for PT 12), the Default Location for the Xpand!2 Presets Folder is in the 32-bit Program Files -
C:\Program Files (x86)\AIR Music Technology\Xpand!2\Presets

If so – copy the Contents of the Presets Folder and place them in a Folder named: Xpand!2 which you place in:
C:\Users\User Name\Documents\Pro Tools\Plug-In Settings

In this Xpand!2 Folder - create a Folder for your User Presets – name it:
50 User

Check to see if you’ve also got a (Creative Collection) Xpand2 Folder (Xpand2 - without the exclamation mark)
If so, you can also transfer your Xpand2 User Presets to your 50 User Folder

In Pro Tools>Setup>Preferences>User Library
Set the Root:
C:\Users\User Name\Documents\Pro Tools\
