This was a MAJOR question of mine. Preset compatibility between V4 and V5 synths. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has spent hours and hours and hours building presets in the various synths. To lose all that work would be .... ridiculous, to be nice.
I had been told by someone on youtuber, who said he'd worked on presets for the new Jup-8, that presets from old synths are compatible.
However, I have now found out otherwise, in an official Arturia post.
Presets are NOT compatible. They say they will "... we have decided to develop a preset converter in order to make your favorite patches from the legacy versions compatible with the new plugins.
This app should be available in the forthcoming months."
So, yeah ... That's pretty freakin lame there Arturia.
That, along with the removal of the Sound Map, is pretty much going to make me, at best, hold off on upgrading until I see how everything boils out.
I'll just keep running the V4 synths on my 2nd monitor, set to 1024x768. Perfectly readable there. .. and GUI size is really my only issue with the V4 synths.
Thanks Arturia ..... NOT!
you really dropped the ball here
