Migrate 'Favorites' from Mac to PC?
« on: August 08, 2021, 02:46:35 pm »
Just as the title implies, I want to copy all tagged favorites of V Collection 8 from Mac into my PC rig.  How do I locate them?


Request:  Please add a feature to import/export favorites similar to how it works for banks and presets.

I would also like to know how to do this, but from a MBP's TimeMachine backup to a new MBP. I can't seem to find any current info about where any of the Arturia plugin Favorites are kept on a macOS system. Hopefully someone can answer both issues in one fell swoop.  ???

Thanks!

I'm not sure where they're stored but I can confirm that a Time Machine backup and restoration from one machine to another does transfer them, because I've done it.

I am not where I can check this... so may have it wrong -- but it used to be...  All  presets, favorites, stuff ... was in /Library/Arturia/Presets

There is a database file called db.db3 as well as folders for each of the instruments and their playlists.   I would keep these folders in sync across multiple macs.

hope this is correct... (and still the same) :)
