loading 3rd party preset

[funkman]

Hi,I am going through a tutorial in computer music mag.They provide a preset for dune cm to load but i cant load it.
can anyone help?

Is the Preset in .fxp format on the Computer Music Magazine CD ?

If it's an .fxp file click on where it says Patch on the DuneCm interface and navigate to where the .fxp file is located then load the Preset.

Or are you saying the Preset won't load after taking the above steps ?

hi thanks for reply,yes preset dosent load,i do what u suggested and the current preset stays loaded,i tried moving to bank b which is init preset and same result

Is the preset for the exact same version of Dune CM you have installed ? Are you sure that preset isn't for the full version of Dune and not Dune CM ?

[funkman]

yes it is dune cm that computer music are using in the tutorial

i clicked on properties in the fxp.
it says type of file cubase effect program file(.fxp)
i am using cubase 9.5 and have tried cubase 10

Yes that's the proper file format for patches. An .fxb file would be a Bank file.

The only thing I can think of is that the patch is for a different version of Dune or perhaps the patch is corrupted. It shouldn't matter what DAW you are using.

Can you upload the patch here or somewhere else ? I'll check it out when I get back from getting breakfast.

zip it or put it on a virtual drive like box dropbox or google drive

I've always wondered why Forums will allow a zip file which could contain malware to be uploaded but not a simple .fxp file. Especially on a Forum dedicated to synths that use the .fxp format.......

I suppose someone could place a malicious payload in an .fxp file but I'm not aware that it's ever been done.

Anyway I can't think of why the patch won't load unless it's a Version issue or a corrupt file. Anyone else have an idea ?

[funkman]

i think i have attached now

[Teksonik]

I don't have DuneCM installed and I'd have to look for one of my Computer Music Disks.

Anyone else have DuneCM installed ?

[funkman]

ok thanks

[Teksonik]

Ok I installed DuneCM on another system and the patch won't load there. It must be a corrupted file.
