I'm actually looking for instructions on how to batch convert the plug-ins. I would contribute if I knew how.

There's quite a bit of discussion about this in the thread, although it's so large it's difficult to scan through.

Different people do it differently. I build macros with Keyboard Maestro, and have documented my process previously. Some people have had success with Automator. Some people do it manually - it varies. The best approach is really down to the person implementing a system to do it.

Thanks des99, I started searching through the thread and lost patience. I did find one reference to Automator and started the learning process there. I'll continue to search the thread for more resources.

No problem, post back if you need some pointers.

Sonic Projects OPX PRO-II

3000+ Presets from v1.2x format OPX PRO-II

Download: SonicProjects_OPXII.zip

Instructions: Once unpacked, Copy the "Factory" folder to

Enjoy!

Hey Des, By any chance did you get the 1.30 M1 native version of OPX PRO-II? I ask because apparently 1.30 won't recognize or load patches that were originally for the 1.2.6 version. I wrote Sonic Projects about this and they confirmed. Said that If you want to save and load patches that were created in 1.2.6 you'd have to disable the newer version, load the previous 1.2.6 plug and save the preset as an OPX native preset. Long and short of it, the great work you did for all the v1.2x format won't load in the v1.3 version of the plug

Yes, I'm aware of this, and haven't installed the update for this reason - I'd need to reconvert the patches and do all that work again - and as you know, OPX comes with a *lot* of patches. Not only that, past projects* that use specific patches would also not recall correctly, so I'm not that keen on updating at this point. This kind of update change is really painful for users for these reasons.

I'm undecided right now, I'll probably do it but I need to assess what projects might be affected and mitigate those, before updating and converting all the patches again.

* If only I had a tool that would let me easily know which Logic projects used OPX so I could check... Oh wait, I made one! 🙂

I hear you. I'm aware of the pain in the process. All the banks that come with the plug still load up in both versions, but yeah, it's having to resave all those banks in the v1.3 format. If you ever do decide to do it, I'll be on the lookout for a reply to this thread. Unfortunately, when I save Logic AU preset files, I do it the old fashioned way, one by one, but after looking through the plugs that you and others have made .aupresets for, I think I have a bunch more that aren't on the site. I'm gonna have a look, make sure that I follow the proper protocols for uploading and posting and add them to the already pretty big database. Thanks for the followup

I'l have a look at it later on and make a decision - I can always temporarily install the update, convert the patches, and restore my old version if I want to stick there for while. It depends how painful the conversion process is in this case (I can't remember offhand without looking).

What I'd suggest is to post a list of plugins you're planning on converting. Doing them manually is a huge pain for more than 50 or so presets, and someone else might be able to convert them, or at least some of them, via scripts, saving you quite a bit of the manual hassle. That way we split out the work in a more efficient way. 👍

[rev32]

That's exactly what I did for my personal custom presets. I have over 100 MainStage concerts that I have to eventually sift through and convert those to work on v1.3. Major PITA.

IK Multimedia's Mixbox would be a nice set of presets as their preset menu is a pain in the butt 🙂

That's not one I have unfortunately, and the fact that to download their products you need to more or less download the entirety of their catalog makes me wary of investigating whether the demo alone would work to save out presets...

[des99]

Incidentally, some may remember the *mammoth* task of saving out the Blackwhinny DX7 sysex cartridges for Dexed some time back - it's around 120,000 patches in all, and because of the file structure complexity, and Dexed's patch handling, it was a slightly painful, semi-automated process that I went through over the course of a couple of months, mostly running overnight as I couldn't do it when I needed to use the computer etc.

Well, I just did it for OPS7 too (as this is now my preferred DX7 emulator). At least this time, with a bit of extra ingenuity and problem solving I was able to create a more or less completely automatic process to work through it, and as I could now dedicate my old computer to the task, it could run 24/7 without impacting my work - so this time it took around 10 days to complete.

So just for Dexed and OPS7 alone, I've saved out nearly *a quarter of a million Logic presets*... (!)

Either your committed or need to be 🙂 I just d/l Mixtank demo and it only provides about 30 presets so can't be done from the demo. Thanks again for all your work. You put in a lot of effort for little reward. Maybe you should have a "buy me a coffee link" I would get you a couple of lattes.

Ha, probably, yes! At least I can get the computer to do these tasks for me, otherwise they would be impractical and certainly not worth the effort!

Thanks - yes, it's not always possible to use the demos in this way, for various reasons.

Thanks for the kind words. Mostly they are for things that I will use, so I'm happy to share them in case others find them useful, and for the other stuff, a bit of community spirit is a good thing as we all benefit. It would be nice if the people that are downloading them would at least hit the little "like" button though to say thanks...

[rededfred2010]

I just looked in the Mixbox preset folder in documents. All the presets are there (1000ish) but most are greyed out in the plugin so not sure if you can get access to convert.

If anyone needs the 11 GM banks output also, let me know - it's another few hours of conversions that probably most people don't care about, which is why I haven't done them so far.

Enjoy!

OMG I had already started working on this but ya beat me to it! 😂 I'd like to help out by making presets for the 11 GM banks. 

I really haven't been able to figure out how to do the M1 and Wavestation. No pick up and no Presets folder for either... just .fxb files which I have no idea how to extract from...

I mean if you want them, I'll hit go and they'll be done by the time I wake up, as I already have the code done. I'll add them to the post tomorrow. There's no point really duplicating this work as I already have written the automations to do this... far better to work on something else you want that hasn't been done yet, imo.

The M1 and Wavestation have both already been done, so there is no reason to do them again, as far as I can see, unless there is some reason to do it..?

[anp27]

Yes, I do want them! 😂 That's a good point, if it's already set up ready to go then cool!

The M1 and Wavestation presets found here are for the old version before KORG overhauled the UIs and stuff. I tried importing both sets and they didn't show up at all. The MDE-X presets found here did work because KORG did not update the plugin (still the old version pre-2017/2018 before they updated everything). 

EDIT: I tried importing them again and I was wrong, they're 100% working, WOO HOO!

The data format didn't change when Korg updated the GUIs, and they should still work - they do for me.

Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 

[des99]

You're welcome!

(BTW I didn't mean to discourage you from your own efforts to learn how to automate this process - if anything, I want to *encourage* more people to do this and contribute the things that I, and others, can't. So keep it up!

If you want to have a go at something that you already mentioned via PM, I think the MonoPoly has more Korg preset banks today than it did when the previous version was done, so if you wanted to give that a go, you certainly have my blessings as I'd like it re-done too..! ☺️ )
