Hi- I was wondering if you plan on continuing development of Zen. I think it was in the top 1% of all software ideas I had ever come across. It's been many years now and wondering what is happening with the idea. I saw that you posted a year or two ago about you working on the AKAI Advance, which is a somewhat related project. Any news for us Zen fans?

It's been pretty much superseded by Advance / VIP, which is way better than Zen in so many ways.
I would love to release a Zen 2.0, but I would need 48hrs days... I don't want to say this will never happen, but it's not very likely.
The Zen database library, on the other hand, is rock solid and this is something I would love to see integrated in other products.

In that case we need either a controller only or software version of VIP please.

AKAI adopted the Zen technique from BigTick about preset management from Plugins
but i think you know that

as you are here now Big Tick , i have a small question , i know i could get the hard support way to AKAI :
is it possible or are there any commands to change the program data folder (presets , vip maps) to another HDD location ?
i ask because if you are make presets for your Kontakt Librarys and Synths the space becomes to big many serveral GB (+10 GB) , not that good for myselves because of the Main SSD space , if you know what i mean with this Question .
sorry to bother you

The easiest, and 100% working way, is use a symbolic link.

It has to be a real symbolic link, not a shortcut. The DOS command is mklink (or you can use the Link Shell Extension to create it from explorer).
