Default Preset Locations
The following locations will describe where you can find the VSS3 presets. The presets
are stored in a folder that is unique to each plug-in:
The plug-in’s own preset handling is storing the presets in the following locations:
Mac OS X: /Users/Shared/TC Electronic/VSS3/Presets/
Windows: (System Drive):\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\TC
Electronic\VSS3\Presets\
• To delete a file, simply move it to the 'Trash' or 'Recycle bin'.
• To create a new subfolder that appears in the plug-in menu, simply create a new
folder in the plug-in folder that resides in the PRESETS folder of the VSS3 default
preset location.
NOTE: A folder will not appear in the Preset File Menu unless it has at least one pre-
set inside.
Converting VSS3 Presets from System 6000 and
Reverb 4000
In case you are the happy owner of the VSS3 algorithm for System 6000 or the
Reverb 4000, here is something to get you in an even better mood: The VSS3 plug-in
is able to read your System 6000/Reverb 4000 presets.
In order to convert presets from System 6000/Reverb 4000 to VSS3, you need to
store the System 6000/Reverb 4000 presets in a preset file. The file extension has to
be either ".syx" (for example: MyPresets.syx) or .mid for a MIDI file.
The easiest way to export System 6000/Reverb 4000 presets is to use the "export to
file" function from the Icon Editor for Mac/Windows (requires version 3.5 or higher).
Alternatively, you can save a bank to a floppy disk (System 6000 only) or do a SysEx-
Dump to a MIDI file in your sequencer.
NOTE: For details regarding the export of presets from System 6000 or Reverb 4000,
please refer to your System 6000/Reverb 4000 and Icon Editor documentation.
The generated SysEx/MIDI preset file needs to be placed in the default VSS3 Preset
folder (at the root level; subfolders are not considered). The file needs to have either
the extension ".syx" (for example: MyPresets.syx) or .mid for a MIDI file.
Note: In case you are running the Icon Editor on the same computer as the VSS3
plug-in, the VSS3 will automatically search for preset files in the default locations for
Reverb 4000 and System 6000 files. You do not need to copy the files!
Once your preset file has been placed in the default VSS3 Preset folder, it will show
up the next time you click the "File" button. At the top of the pop-up list you'll find a
section called "Convert", and the name of your preset file will be listed here.
