.TFX files

[Steve Matzura]

I started this thread elsewhere, but since I've found out my question is
specific to Pro Tools, I moved it here. Thanks, Slau, for kickin' me in
the right direction.


One of the files I downloaded is called Tapestry. I've figured out that
it probably goes with Loom II because the download link was under that
product's heading in the email. Prime Loop - Hybrid Trap Presets was
under a heading all its own, but the title certainly gives it away as to
what plugin it goes with.

I watched some rather useless YouTube videos--useless because the
narrators just kept on talking about clicking here and there. So I went
to the reference manual and found out what appears to be everything I
need to know in Chapter 49. When I get back home, I have to find the
Plugins Settings menu and figure out what is meant by the Root Settings
folder. Or I'll just skip that latter for now and load these presets
from where I placed them.

Hi Steve,
The TFX files reside in folders with the plug-in name. The Path on the Mac is:
User/Documents/Pro Tools/Plug-in Settings/*name of plug-in*
With the AIR stuff, you copy each folder that contains the TFX files and drop it right into the top level of the Plug-in Settings folder. Probably anything you do have is already in the drop Box folder so you can see for yourself the structure, so to speak.
Best,
Slau

Many thanks! Got back at stupid-o'clock this morning, but went right to
the machine and checked it all out. I loaded Hybrid 3 (not with Komplete
Kontrol) and then imported one of the presets from the Prime Loop pack.
The results? Wacky stuff! But at least I learned how to do it, which was
the objective.


Now here's an interesting question which might be more Komplete
Kontrol-related. I haven't the time to try this until next week, as I'm
kind-of booked for the rest of the day and will be gone all weekend, but
I'm wondering,can these presets be imported with a Plugin loaded by
Komplete Kontrol? Since KK is the plugin of record on a track, acting
only as the host for whatever else it loads, it seems to me the answer
would be no. But you know how I tend to get things backward (ha ha), so
maybe it's possible.


Thanks again for all you do, and that times ten to the eighth for
putting up with nutty newbies like me.

Definitely more of a Komplete Kontrol question but, for what it's worth, everything KK related deals with VSTs rather than anything having to do with TFX files or whatever Logic uses. When the full complement of formats is installed, Komplete Kontrol sees the plug-in along with its presets. Along the AIR instruments side of things, freelance Sound Lab's approach takes the presets as seen through the VST plug-in and reveals it to the KK host and that's all captured in the NKSF. Hope that makes sense.

As I suspected/thought.
