As you can see, you need to put it in each format.
How to load presets
I will explain from the top. (For Mac, it is a Japanese translation of Read me)
AU
These presets end with the .aupreset extension.These presets only work on mac audiounit hosts.The place to put it is as follows.
System Presets folder:
/ Library / Audio / Audio / Presets / Plugin Boutique / Virtual CZUser Presets folder:
~ / Library / Audio / Audio / Presets / Plugin Boutique / Virtual CZ
Vst3
I'm always wondering whether to use VST3 or VST2, but for Virtual CZ it's much easier to manage presets with VST3.
In the case of VST3, it can be displayed in "System".
To add it, click "Reveal System .vstpreset folder…" or "Reveal User .vstpreset folder…" from "File" of VirtualCZ.
Change the storage folder depending on whether it is displayed in "System" or "User".
Currently, there is not a large amount, so I wonder if "System" is fine.
It looks like this when all are added.
Vst2
These presets end with the extensions .fxp (for individual presets) and .fxb (for banks).
There is no fixed place. You can load banks or individual presets from the VirtualCZ File menu.
The point is that you can put it anywhere and open it.
Only the "fxb" file in the red frame in the figure below can be stored.
(Fxb is a bank, fxp is an individual preset)
To read it, first uncheck "Use .vst preset browser" from "FILE".
(If you do not uncheck this, Load Bank will be grayed out)
Next, click "Load Bank"-> "VST2 (.fxb)" from "FILE", open the folder you just stored, and open "CZ1.fxb" etc.
The preset is loaded as follows.
The number of each preset is as follows.
| Bank name | Number of presets |
| CZ1.fxb | 64 |
| CZ101.fxb | 32 |
| CZ230S-A.fxb | 64 |
| CZ230S-B.fxb | 36 |
| RC10.fxb | 64 |
| RC20.fxb | 64 |
| RC30.fxb | 64 |
