Can't Browse Xpand Patches anymore

[The Dougfather]

Hi all, i can no longer change Xpand presets using the RTAS +/- buttons and also the the button that allows you to scroll presets via the keyboard, they're all greyed out. I have to keep going down in the Synth and selecting patches with the mouse. I've tried trashing prefs etc to no avail. I'm using 1.0.1.989.

Cheers

I think you have to make sure Xpand DAT file and preset folder have to be inside

Library > Application Support > Digidesign.

And then re-instantiate Xpand!

For some reason, set root folder function does not work for me for Xpand!

You have to run the 'Set Xpand content location' program FROM the same folder that the Xpand.dat file is located. That means copying the 'Set Xpand content location' application into Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Xpand! directory and running it from there... I would also make sure the Xpand! folder still exists inside the Plug-in Settings folder... If that still don't work, I would trash your Volumes folder and reboot... (Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Databases/Volumes)

Hope that helps...

Cheers guys, turned out to be a permissions issue with the presets folder.
