Cannot Load Presets, Not showing up after I import Options

[Georgia Rocker]

I downloaded all the presets but cannot get them to show up in my list of presets. I went to the My Documents folder and went to native instriments then shared content then guitar rig 4 then sounds then guitar rig 4 folder and there are lots of presets there. I dragged and dropped then in this folder and even tried copyiing then pasting. Then I open guitar rig 4 and do the scan for new presets under options....I look for the name that is on the preset like tubeyblues.ksd and the others but none are in the list. Am I doing something wrong?

Good question Once you copy the presets to the sounds folder with the other presets, launch GUITAR RIG and click on OPTIONS then click on SCAN.

This will rescan your presets and the new ones should show up.

Message me if you have any questions. Enjoy the presets!

Well darn. I just read your post again and saw you were doing SCAN, sorry for the confusion. This is the first thing to try but you are already trying it. Hmm.

Are you on Mac or PC?

Which Version of operating system?

Which Version of Guitar Rig? Full/Demo 4?

Can you run as a StandAlone App? Sometimes this fixes the issue.

If you are on a Mac make sure you are using an ADMINISTRATOR level account.

Also, there is this fix.

1. Make a folder called "custom" in the "My Documents" section of your computer.
2. Open GR4 and in the presets bank section, create a completely new bank called "custom".
3. Put all of your custom presets in the folder, located in My Documents.
4. Open GR4 if it isn't already, and drag the presets from the "custom" folder to the "custom" bank.

Sorry it's giving you trouble. Being able to pull presets in is one of the best things about Guitar Rig. So it's pretty crucial to fix.

P.S. Here are two presets in a zip that I just exported. Perhaps it's an issue with how I was getting previous presets out of Guitar Rig. I just exported these under new names and reimported, scanned and they worked. I'm putting them in a zip. Let me know if these will load. You should be able to launch the stand alone version of guitar rig and click

IMPORT

Then select the preset (after unzipping)

Then Scan.

Then in the search bar above PRESET NAME type GMC that way you will only see GMC presets.


Let me know

Still didn't work...I tried the iimport option and tried it and that didn't work so I tried to drag and drop then into the folder and scanned both times. I go to browser window and searched then went through every p[reset folder and didn't list them. It has to be something on my computer of my settings but I cannot find it..Im gonna check on the native site and see if I can get an answer..Thanks for your help todd. Hey I do have another question that you might can answer..I hear alot of buzzing from my pa system. not sure what is causing it...I'm using just regular guitar chord cables running from my pa to my foot controller? is that the cable? thinking I read something somewhere about there being different cables some without shielded cables....Thanks again

Native Instruments got back with me today and told me I needed to update my GR4. I thought I didn't have any updates, when I went into the control center and checked for updates it tells me it's up to date. I went to NI website and checked there and there was a update. Version 4.2.0. ...Able to load new presets now...Just a note incase anyone else runs into the same problem I had.

Same problem here... Could it be a version mismatch? I am running version 4.07...

Glad it's finally working

Sounds like you may just need the same update. I've run across loads of solks across the web with this same issue. It honestly never occurred to me to tell them to go "download the update" as I susptected some sort of configuration issue. This is all good news really as now the fix is quite simpel. I'd say get over to NI and download the update ASAP.

[dark dude]

Yeah, it probably is. I've seen posts where people have problems with presets unless they update to when the presets were created.
