Title: Presets 385 - 512
Post by: fakamminga on May 30, 2023, 09:01:51 pm
I have frequently sent presets to my MicroFreak without no issues. However with the latest update I cannot sent any presets from Midi Controller to the MicroFreak to presets 385 up to 512.
Are these presets blocked or are these only available for saving from the MicroFreak itself or do I need to change a setting?

Many thanks for your help

I submitted a support ticket as I was having the exact same issue. No issues posting the new presets to earlier pre set slots.

Same. Must be a bug.

Randy Hayes shared a workaround for the presets here https://legacy-forum.arturia.com/index.php?topic=111746.msg197918#msg197918

You have to compile a project in MCC with all of the presets you want and send the whole thing to MicroFreak, overwriting all content. It worked for me.

Just make sure you back up any custom presets before you do it!

I'm having the same issue. I get an error when trying to copy a preset to the higher numbered presets. No problem in creating a preset directly on the microFreak with the higher numbers.

Yup, Same here, must be a bug. I'm sure they'll issue a fix soon... However, previous poster was correct, there is a workaround by adding all desired presets to a new project and sending that to MicroFreak. It will overwrite all current presets , so you may want to export your current presets into a new project first, and use that, adding the new ones on top. I now have 449 presets on my 'Freak, which is basically Factory Presets 3.0, New Presets 4.0 and New Presets 5.0. Plus 50-odd INITs to mess about with :-)

I'm getting the same error as well, can't transfer any presets to or from my Microfreak to MIDI CC from patches 385 and above. Could be an issue with the new firmware update?

How do you build a project that includes presets from other projects? I can't figure out how to drag a large number of presets from the factory projects into my new "Everything" project, similar to the one you describe.

Do I have to export all 400+ presets from the factory ones to individual .mfpz files and then import them individually into my "Everything" project?

You can drag them.


But to save everyone the trouble of all of that clicking and dragging, I've attached an exported project with all of the Factory 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 presets, plus 64 blank slots.

You can drag them.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was trying to do, but somehow managed to mess up, thus erroneously concluding that it does not work.

I have now created a project that includes all factory patches as well as my own.
