Import . minibank into V3?

[thefra]

Is ist possible to import the .minibank from mini V2 into the Mini V3.   The V3  seems to use a .minix suffix. THX

[George Ware]

I was going to ask the same thing?

I tried to import a minibank , changing the suffix to minix, but no joy. I guess at the moment there are no banks aprt from the included factory bank we can download,.

LOL Yea I tried that too!

Seems that all those years we have spent developing our own sounds have just been washed away in the breeze

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Seems to me there are resources not in place on the site. I'm finding a few '404-page not found' links etc. The instrument sounds great, but the support seems a little threadbare. Strange that all the old midibanks no longer work, you'd have thought they would have been updated for the V3 instrument. Maybe it's early days and things were not properly prepared.

From reading a KVR thread mentioned on the ARP2600 pages, they say that a preset converter is in the offing 'in a few months'. Seems Arturia have shot themselves in the foot annoying users over this issue.

This preset incompatibility issue is freakin ridiculous. Who at Arturia thought we users WOULDN'T want to use all of our hours and hours of work making presets in the updated instruments?
That person should be fired.
Preset compatibility should have been a FOREMOST concern in these updates. Essential. Non-negotiable.
If they can make a converter, then the updated instruments damn well SHOULD have had this functionality from the get go.

I, and many others, will be holding off on this update until seeing how things boil down.
Very not cool Arturia.
Also, for the love of monkeys!! Put back the freakin Sound Map feature. Removing that was also a real bone-headed move. The person(s) who came to that decision should also be fired. Utterly ridiculous.

Hi,

As was stated elsewhere, the preset import function is not available yet. The feature works, we used it to convert all the factory presets.

This will be available in a future update.

Count me in on all the above, particularly holding off on getting the 'upgrade' until the issues that have been posted here get fixed.

It it exists and works then why wasn't it included in the original release? Methinks Arturia should have let this souffle bake a little more and not let it collapse like it has. I'd say 90% of my synth work is done with Arturia stuff; the rest goes to Synthmaster, Massive and Absynth. Thankfully at least the older versions still work correctly.

Maybe they decided to spend their time on making the new synths work first and after that, finish off what's left to finish, like providing a more user-friendly front-end to their internal converter utility.

The simple fact that such thing exists, gives me some hope it'll see the light of day soon. While waiting, I'll enjoy the new versions and start doing my new patches there.

All well and fair BUT as evidenced on these forums that while the synths work a lot of them don't work correctly. Hard to get a job done when you don't know where the next formerly working feature doesn't work right.

hmmm... well, they are working fine on my systems+DAWs

I guess you don't care then that some of the synths have features that aren't working as they should. But then again you're a beta tester and beholden to Arturia. Step out of your ivory tower and actually READ what posters are saying here.

if I didn't care, I wouldn't be here collecting info about the issues being reported and checking them on my setups and provide either help if possible or validating/confirming them  because that's all I can do.

What I've seen so far was Arturia staff being as informative and helpful as they can, either explaining misconceptions and proper to use the existing features  (like the sustain pedal on Prophet), recognizing missing features that are planned for a free update (like B3's bass pedal) or acknowledging issues with solutions (like the gfx driver updates) or taking note of true bugs being reported by helpful users (like the Channel Aftertouch issue on Chords after the 1st NoteOFF).

Regarding this thread, it was already said that VC5 presets aren't compatible with previous versions (by design) and a conversion utility is being worked on. ...what else do you want ?
