V4 User Presets in V5.

[supergirl36]

Hello, can someone tell me if my V4 user presets will work with V5 plugins ? Thanks.

Not at this point, no.
They have a converter that they are polishing up for release tho.

Thanks ! Cheers.

That sounds promising. Love the new GUIs and browser, and definitely missing the old presets.

Any time line on this converter?

"ASAP" is all I've heard, from one of the threads in here. I forget which one however, sorry.

It's been posted in a couple of threads at least one of which I posted about it in (I may have actually posted about it first).

Phew! This is the information I came here to look for. Can't wait for the converter. I really think V5 sounds great, and the resizeable guis are long overdue. The CS is finally useable - is it me or does it sound lots better too? The new presets are also fantastic- I always made my own because i was never comfortable with the old ones, but these inspire me to start composing straight out of the box. And as for the synclavier... What joy! Huge congrats to the Arturia team on a brilliant upgrade.

Thank you for asking this...

If I am not able to use the presets that i have created over time, then this is not as useful.
I am going to keep using my old instruments...


Having said this, I love the new collection. The synclavier and B3 Rock...

Fortunately the old synths live alongside the new ones and are still usable.

Yes the Synclavier 2 is excellent although missing the sampling/resynthesis features. The B3 emulation on the other hand is only good if you don't have another Hammond emulation. There's little guts to the sound and the Leslie is one of the worst out there. But like all packages there is some good and some not so good.

I seem to have lost Spark, as I was advised to do a complete Uninstall before Installing the V5 package.
Perhaps because I had several versions as I was Beta testing.

Any way that I can re-acquire Spark?

Do you still have your VC4 downloads? I don't know who advised you to do a complete uninstall as it's not necessary for installing VC5. I don't know that being a beta tester would have anything to do with having to do an uninstall.

Actually you may be able to recover Spark through ASC.

It shows as activated, but it never re-installed along with the V-5 package, I'm not sure if Benjamin realized when he emailed me this that Spark would not recycle.

Any news about the preset converter to be able to load v4 presets into v5?
