ACE presets missing?

[snigelx]

Has anyone else noticed patches missing from the John Lehmkuhl bank that was included with the ACE installation? To be specific, the "Synth and Pad" folder/directory is there but there are no patches in it. Are there supposed to be patches in this directory? There are patches in all other folders included within his bank...only the Synth and Pad folder is completely empty for some reason.

Thanks for any info guys. It normally wouldn't be so big of a deal, however I would really like to have these patches if they exist somewhere. He is a talented designer and I've made good use of a few patches in that bank already.

I think you should re-install. I have the following files:

Also, I don't have a "synth" directory:

That is very odd. I must have an early incarnation of what you have there. I have all of those directories in your second directory listing, however I have a few more with the sound designers' names on them. (Tasmodia, SW, John Lehmkuhl, BIGTONE, etc.) I bought it as soon as it was announced here on KVR. I think it was even still in beta. I think I have those you listed and a few extra ones in some separate banks by each of the designers. I suppose they were trying to sort out what to keep and throw for the final release. Damn, now I see that these are duplicates... argh. That is funny. I went straight to the designer's personal folders first and started favouriting things I completely overlooked the Local banks you listed up there. Most if not all of these are duplicates. Yeah, but even if I reinstall these directories will still be here. I'm going to go through them and make sure they are all duplicates then delete them.

Yeah, eh, hehehe... the beta had things sorted by designer, the final version had everything merged into categories...

[snigelx]

Yeah, I was unaware, when I installed the final, that the presets would be organised differently. No problem, I think I have it sorted now

[Cremisi]

Same thing happened to me: bought it early and didn't notice that by reinstalling with the final version I ended up with duplicates Guess that shows I've only begun (time is scarce) to scratch the surface of the synthesizer

ps. the cute GUI size is...really cute
