Hey.
Sorry if this has been asked and discussed before, but I really couldn’t find anything.
How can I get my presets I’ve built on my computer to Zynthian?
When I choose Pianoteq in “Library → Presets and Soundfonts” it just shows white screen.
I also couldn’t find anything from the manual how to manually update files to Zynthian.
I get the part how to actually install them to Pianoteq (via VNC), but how can I get the files into Zynthian?
Please help.
Anyone? 
You can upload files to zynthian using webconf LIBRARY.
When I go to Library and choose Pianotec 7.4 Standard, I get this screen (blank). All others show presets and the ability to upload them.
Please file a new issue here
And attach a preset file (makes it easier for me to develop it)
Done.
Thank you!
There is a bug reported now.
Until I wait for it to resolve, is there another way (manually somehow) how to get pianoteq patch to Zynthian? I just need couple of patches, so it can be tricky and not convenient, I just need it to happen
Thank you!!
You can try this (as simple as I can make it):
You should now be able to select your presets from the Pianoteq LV2 plugin bank called None, i.e. loading LV2 version of Pianoteq in Zynthian and selecting bank “None” then your preset.
Sorry this is long. You don’t need to do all the steps every time as some of these are setting up VNC, etc.
@riban Thank you!
Do you know, how is it going with thad bugfix?
Do you mean this bug? The issue tracker says it is fixed in the testing branch.
Sorry if that’s a stupid question, but to fix it for me I need to use some other branch?
Or wait for the official release? When will that happen do you know?
An observation, or “discovering”, about Pianoteq FXP.
Once you have completed the process that @Riban perfectly describes, I have tested that is enough with loading a simple fxp file in that way.
After loading such a simple file, you will find a new folder on webconf library/presets&soundfonts/pianoteq called “My Presets”.
When such folder is created, then, the system permits new loading of fxp from that menu.
So I should adventure to think that if a folder “My Presets” is created in the core Zynthian development, perhaps, the system should allow uploading new fxp in a much simpler way.
Even you can upload several pxp files at the same time.
I was just trying to upload fxp for Pianoteq, saw the description in the wiki which involved VNC access and thought there might be an easier way, knowing that on windows pc there is just a dedicated folder to just copy them to.
So I successfully installed fxp presets by just copying them to
/root/.local/share/Modartt/Pianoteq/Presets/My Presets
, which you can also navigate from the link
/zynthian/zynthian-my-data/presets/pianoteq
And the presets appear immediately in the native UI as well as on the zynthian UI.
Anything wrong with it? Maybe this could appear on the zynthian wiki as an alternative solution.
What is still not clear for me: If I save a preset in the native UI, it does not appear in the above mentioned folder. It also doesn’t appear in the zynthian-data preset folder, where the factory presets seem to be stored.
It anyhow seems to be consistently saved and can be found in the zynthian preset list, but I have no idea where it is stored.
Anyway: You can or cannot imagine how much of a great boost it is for my beloved zynthian, that I recently bought Pianoteq and TAL-U-No-LX after long time ruminating about it. It is so incredibily well implemented by you wonderfull people, getting them onto the machine including moving instruments and presets to it was almost intuitive, which is a rare thing on any linux based platform, I think.
Go to Web configuration - Menu Software and pres button Search for Presets, than look into /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/presets/lv2 EDIT: it for TAL-U-No-LX, I can’t explain the anomaly for pianoteq.
