Where to put all those Zebra2 duplicate presets?

[icedsushi]

Zebra comes with 3 sets of the same preset names:

Simply installing Zebra comes with plenty of .h2p files located at: ~/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/Zebra2

Then there are the .aupreset files and .fxp files, all duplicates. Where do the 2 extra duplicate sets go if the .h2p files are already sitting in the preset location? And what is the importance of the .aupreset files if the .h2p can be used with the AU?

I'm wondering why noone has asked this yet. Or maybe I'm asking a silly question?

h2p is the native Zebra format, which can only be used by Zebra, but is cross-platform.

.aupreset versions can be accessed in Logic, Live and other AU hosts.
.fxp files can be accessed from VST hosts.

Thanks. I use Live. Where should the .fxp files go? I never know where to put .fxp files so I end up putting them in the applications folder with some of my standalone synths. I know that's probably not the best place though because they end up getting scattered everywhere.

Should I just stuff all three sets into the Zebra2 preset folder & have all the duplicate names next to each other? What I'd really like to know the standard way to organize all of them.

I don't know on the PC offhand, I'm on a Mac here which has standard locations for all this stuff...

[icedsushi]

Yep see sig, I'm on Mac too. Where are the standard locations? I'm not used to having this many duplicate presets.

Well in that case, you don't need the FXP versions for a start, so delete them.
The .aupresets go in

/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/Zebra2
or
~/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/Zebra2

...and then they will show up in Live and Logic and probably other AU hosts. For Logic only, you could put them instead in:
/Library/Application Support/Plugin Settings/Zebra
or
~/Library/Application Support/Plugin Settings/Zebra

you only need one set...

as beej suggests, maybe use the au presets and not use the h2p
