Please note the following two points when installing TOOLS for UR-C V2.0.0 or TOOLS for AXR4T/U V2.0.0 or later.
1. When updating from an older version of TOOLS
The folder used to load/save user presets for DSP effects and VST3 plug-ins differs between previous versions of TOOLS and V2.0.0 or later.
Please copy the contents of "Folder 1" to "Folder 2" once after installing TOOLS V2.0.0 or later.
Mac
Folder 1
/Users/<User Name>/Library/Audio/Presets/Steinberg Media Technologies/<Plug-in Name>
Folder 2
/Users/<User Name>/Library/Audio/Presets/Yamaha Corporation/<Plug-in Name>
Windows
Folder 1
C:\Users\<User Name>\Documents\VST3 Presets\Steinberg Media Technologies\<Plug-in Name>
Folder 2
C:\Users\<User Name>\Documents\VST3 Presets\Yamaha Corporation\<Plug-in Name>
2. If you are also using a model of the UR series before the UR-C series with DSP effects
Installing TOOLS for UR-C V2.0.0 or TOOLS for AXR4T/U V2.0.0 or later on the same system on which one of the following audio interfaces is already in use, may cause preset conflicts as described below (Symptom 1 / Symptom 2).
UR-RT2 | UR-RT4 | UR242 | UR44 | UR28M | UR824
These issues will be resolved in a future update. Until further notice, they can be avoided by using two operating systems on two volumes or partitions on the same computer, one for the older UR device and one for the UR-C or AXR4T/U. We recommend this, especially if you rely on user presets for the included VST3 plug-ins and DSP effects, and you frequently share user presets between the VST3 plug-ins and DSP effects.
Symptom 1
User presets cannot be shared between the built-in DSP effects used in the Cubase series and the VST3 plug-in.
(Example) User presets created and saved with REV-X inserted on the Cubase series inspector screen could be read directly from the REV-X VST3 plug-in inserted with the Cubase series Mix Console. But this becomes impossible.
Cause
The vendor name for both the built-in DSP effects on the Steinberg audio interface and the VST3 plug-ins bundled with TOOLS V1.x is Steinberg, but the VST3 plug-ins bundled with TOOLS V2.0.0 or later have newer version numbers and their vendor name is Yamaha.
Therefore, the vendor names after installing TOOLS V2.0.0 or later are as follows on Mac and Windows. On the Cubase series, if the vendor name is different between the DSP effect and the VST3 plug-in, the user preset cannot be shared, which causes the problem.
Mac
DSP effect: Steinberg
VST3 plug-in: Yamaha
Windows
DSP effect: Steinberg
VST3 plug-in: Yamaha and Steinberg may coexist, but which one is loaded depends on the application.
Workaround
We're sorry, but there is currently no workaround.
Note:
For the DSP effects inserted into the dspMixFx application for each model, you can select where to save or load the user presets with [Save] or [Open] in the [File] menu.
In this way, it is possible to share the user presets with newly installed VST3 plug-ins with Yamaha vendor name.
Symptom 2
User presets for VST3 plug-ins that should have been created and saved before cannot be read.
(Example) User presets created and saved with the REV-X plug-in included with UR44 cannot be loaded after installing TOOLS for UR-C V2.0.0.
Cause
The vendor name for the VST3 plug-ins bundled with TOOLS V1.x is Steinberg, but the VST3 plug-ins bundled with TOOLS V2.0.0 or later have newer version numbers and their vendor name is Yamaha.
Therefore, the vendor names after installing TOOLS V2.0.0 are as follows on Mac and Windows.
Mac
VST3 plug-in: Yamaha only (The plug-ins with vendor name “Steinberg” will be removed.)
Windows
VST3 plug-in: Yamaha and Steinberg may coexist, but which one is loaded depends on the application.
User presets cannot be shared by VST3 plug-ins with different vendor names, so user presets previously created and saved with VST3 plug-ins with Steinberg vendor name will no longer be displayed on Mac.
On Windows, the user presets displayed will vary depending on the app.
Workaround
Mac
By copying the user preset files stored in Folder 1 to Folder 2, these previously created user presets will now be visible on new plug-ins with the vendor name Yamaha.
Folder 1
/Users/<User Name>/Library/Audio/Presets/Steinberg Media Technologies/<Plug-in Name>
Folder 2
/Users/<User Name>/Library/Audio/Presets/Yamaha Corporation/<Plug-in Name>
Windows
Since the vendor name of the plug-in to be loaded varies depending on the application, it is necessary to always synchronize the user preset files stored in the following two folders.
Folders used by the plug-ins with vendor name Steinberg:
C:\Users\<User Name>\Documents\VST3 Presets\Steinberg Media Technologies\<Plug-in Name>
Folders used by the plug-ins with vendor name Yamaha:
C:\Users\<User Name>\Documents\VST3 Presets\Yamaha Corporation\<Plug-in Name>
