Where to install third party soundset for Dark Zebra (ZebraHZ) ?
I don't have a user folder into ZebraHZ.data\Presets\ZebraHZ, do i have to create one ?
I have already installed two Dark Zebra soundsets into Zebra2.data\Presets\Zebra2\0 user but I can't remember when I am inside the browser of ZebraHZ which soundsets is dedicated to ZebraHZ .
Also if I move the soundset, do I loose my favorites ?
I am looking for any tips and idea to manage my Dark Zebra presets

I place them in the ZebraHZ.data\UserPresets\ZebraHZ path, not ZebraHZ.data\Presets\ZebraHZ. If that path does not exist, you can create it.

Which location did you install the ZebraHZ.data folder to?
The "User" folder is created automatically the first time you launch the plugin, unless there is a problem with file permissions in the location you installed the plugin's data folder.

If there are no permission issues, the user presets folder gets created here:
ZebraHZ.data\UserPresets\ZebraHZ

Might be easiest to write to our support, we can help you more efficiently over there.

Open ZebraHZ, go to the presets section, right click on the User folder and select "show in explorer" (or something similar).

This will open up your User folder where you can copy the soundsets folders.

If I do it with the explorer I will loose my Favorites.
Victor from support team answer me :

But you could just move the folder via drag&drop in the plugin browser!

You have the USER folder on the left side in ZebraHZ, right?
If you select the preset folder that's currently up in the LOCAL area (where the factory
library is), select it and drag it down, then drop it on USER, you can move all presets
that way, and your favourites will move along with it.

It works as expected, great and fast support

One last question, all my presets are tagged as [no Bank] in the preset info box.
Why ? and how to fix it ?

All presets? Not even the factory presets have a Bank name? Did you install the last versions of Zebra2 with the factory library as well? We added Bank names at some point in the last two years.
The old soundset versions for Zebra2 are all "pre Bank name", and will be updated with the Zebra Legacy release on Nov 15.
Other third-party soundsets will have to be maintained by their creators (i.e. adding Bank name).

You can add a Bank name like this:
Drag a preset onto the "Bank" entry on the left. A dialog window opens, asking for a name for the Bank. Enter a name, that Bank name now appears under the Bank entry. You can now drag&drop other presets onto that new Bank name and they'll inherit it. You can also rename a Bank, right-click on it and select "Rename". All presets with that Bank name will get the new changed name.

What's the purpose of the bank name in the first time ?

It means when a bank is exported to another format such as NKS the host (eg Komplete Kontrol or Maschine) knows what the bank is called
