Hey everyone, I just wanted to respond after my problem was resolved.
As suggested by MajorFubar (gotta love that screen name
), I reinstalled my software. Everything seams to be back to normal for now and all of my presets were untouched. For those interested in how I did it, please read below:
First thing I did was went the finder and went to the following path:
System Hard Drive / Library / Arturia / Presets
I made a copy of that folder and placed it on my desktop JUST to be sure my saved presets were not deleted.
Then I went to the Arturia Software Center, clicked on my V Collection 8 item in the list and used the ""Reinstall" option
I waited for everything to be completed, then reopened MainStage. After it finished the standard "new" VI checks and opened, I checked several of my MainStage patches that had various instances of V Collection instruments. They all worked as expected AND all of my user programs were still there.
I then deleted the patch folder I copied to the desktop since everything was still there.
Thank you for your help.
