Hi Stormy - welcome to DUC!

(BIG File) on Windows:
Xpand!2’s Factory Content default location is:
C:\ProgramData\Air Music Technology
You can move this elsewhere (e.g. your Samples drive) during installation.

The following process applies to all AIR VIs and FX – let’s use Xpand!2 as an example:

Windows Presets for Xpand!2 are not in Program Files – they’re here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\AIR Music Technology\ Xpand!2\Presets

Change the name of the ‘Presets’ Folder– call it:
Xpand!2

Paste it here:
Windows
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Pro Tools\Plug-In Settings

Mac (thanks Ben!)
User folder - Documents - Pro Tools - Plugin settings


Another way to get AIR Presets:

double-click:
Xpand!2.aaxplugin
double-click:
Contents Folder
double-click:
Factory Presets Folder

Copy the Xpand!2 Folder
Paste it here for Windows:
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Pro Tools\Plug-In Settings
or here for (thanks Ben!) Mac:
User folder - Documents - Pro Tools - Plugin settings


Restart computer
Launch Pro Tools
