DIVA known issues

[zvenx]

Hi I am now confused.
The solution, imho the only solution is to give up on vst3 and start using the vst2.4 in all future projects when you use u-he stuff.
The part I am confused about is your presets, you have Diva/Zebra presets that you created?
Afaik the vst3 and vst2.4 use the same location for u-he presets. That is if you open up the vst2.4 Diva you will see the exact same presets, and favourites marked off as you do in the vst3 version.
On my system for instance: C:\Users\rsp\Documents\u-he\Diva\Diva.data is where my Diva data with presets etc is....

Or did you save them in Steinberg's header? I use Cubendo too. Isn't it just copying it from one location to another?

Ok. I now got the Diva2709win update and read the VST3_ReadMe file inside it. I am now going to at try the vst2 version instead. Thanks for the tips.

zvenx<-Concerning vst3 presets, I meant that I have saved some diva presets as cubase vst3 presets using the steinberg header. Copying from one location to another? diva vst2 and vst3 share the same folder. If you meant cubasevst3presets... then no.
One of my Diva presets is called timeless.h2p, and the cubasevst3 preset is timeless.vstpreset

Hi,
two things we are speaking about, just to clarify.

IF you save presets using Save in Diva, it saves it in a subfolder in the Diva.data folder. I had previously told you where mine is, which I think is the default or recommended location (well not the rsp part of course ).
That subfolder is shared by both vst2 and vst 3 Diva. These are the .h2p presets.


Now to Steinbergs presets. vstpresets, did you save your own presets that way or did you just resave U-he's and third party .h2p presets that way?


even so, I really do think that there is a way to copy the .vstpresets from the vst3 location to the vst2.4 location, rescan them in media bay and they work..... let me do some investigation.... of course if it is just the u-he presets you save this way, they may not be as important, as when you open the vst2.4 version of Diva, all should be fine in terms of your original problem.

Actually on my machine I find it stores the vst3 and vst2 presets the same place. So you really should be good.
Just in older projects though, you will have to manually (if you want) substitute the vst2 version for the vst3 one.


C:\Users\rsp\Documents\VST3 Presets\u-he

that's where mine are:

I only saved a few of my Diva presets as .vstpresets using the steinberg preset box above diva. When I use the VST2 version I just downloaded, I dont have the issue with the missing preset name anymore and I like this, so I am going to edit my cubase template so it contains Diva VST2 instances instead and reload the presets.

Yes I had to more or less do the same, what I do is 'hide' my vst3 u-he stuff in cubendo's plugin page so I don't accidentally use them in future projects........ for now.

You may also still however install the vst3 version (now you have to manually click it) in the download you just did. Tbh I think it did fix the specific vst3 issue you had. Although even though it was fixed, i took urs advice I switched to vst2 versions of his stuff.
