BR - VST3 presets folder not being read by Maschine

Flexi · 2023-01-19T08:15:22+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

On Windows the default folder for VST3 plugins that store presets externally is....

C:\Users\[username]\Documents\VST3 Presets

This folder is not being read by Maschine, any plugins that use this folder just show the word "None" in the right click preset menu.

Yeah this is a longstanding issue for VST3 plugins that rely on hosts to manage their presets - Maschine doesn't recognise .vstpreset format even though it is the VST3 standard format (so they are not fully compliant with the VST3 spec). Some discussion of this here:

the only workaround I have found is to open the VST2 version and make NKS presets from that, then remove the VST2 and install the VST3, but even that only works if the plugin supports migration - for example some plugin alliance ones do, but some don't and NKS made with the VST2 don't load in the VST3

Maybe you need to make a desktop plugin folder then go to the machine settings to change the location to that desktop folder.

Hope it helps.
