Greetings.

Can someone please tell me more about the .fxb file format? I understand that these are midi fx presets(??) If so, why can one app not use the same .fxb files that another app can?

Example: Trying to import one of my several dozen industrial.fxb files into Korg Legacy's Wavestation.

Wavestation wont even recognize it.

Hi egokilla,

.fxb files are the native bank files for saving fx
and synth banks from inside Steinberg hosts .

.fxp are the same but for single patches .

If you want to use these files you must open the
plugin inside Cubase first and then open the file
in the plugin .

.fxb files is a bank of presets (many .fxp together)
for ONE VST plugin, you can't swap with another plugin, it's not MIDI

Different synths need different presets simply because they are different. A preset is a complete description of the values of every single knop, slider etc. in the synth, and they are different in every synth ( otherwise you would just need one synth) Softsynths are all generating sound but they have very different approches on how to do it.

It's sort of the same as expecting a LP to be played in a cd-player because both a CD and a LP has music on them.

Aw shit.....so that's why my CDs won't play any more after I've put them on my turntable?
