Saving a default preset
To define and save a default preset and use it e. g. in other projects, proceed as
follows:
1. Set up the parameters to your liking.
2. Open the Preset Management pop-up menu, and select “Save as Default Preset”
from the pop-up menu.
Your default preset is saved.
Recalling a default preset
You can recall a default preset at any time from the Presets browser by selecting
“Default” or by opening the plug-in context menu, and selecting “Reset to Default
Preset” from the “Default Preset” submenu.
Copying and pasting presets
To copy a plug-in preset and paste it in another instance of the same plug-in, proceed
as follows:
1. Open the plug-in context menu and select “Copy (plug-in name) Setting”.
2. Select another instance of the same plug-in, open the context menu and select
“Paste (plug-in name) Setting”.
About earlier VST effect presets
As stated previously, you can use any VST 2.x plug-ins in Cubase. For a description of
how to add VST plug-ins, see
“Installing and managing effect plug-ins” on page 248.
When you add a VST 2 plug-in, presets for it may be in the old FX program/bank
format (.fxp/.fxb). You can import such files, but the preset handling will be slightly
different. You will not be able to use all features until you have converted the old
“.fxp/.fxb” presets to VST
3 presets. If you save new presets for the included VST 2
plug-ins, these will automatically be saved in the new “.vstpreset” format.
Importing and converting FXB/FXP files
To import FXB/FXP files, proceed as follows:
1. Load any VST 2 effect you may have installed, and open the Preset Management
pop-up menu.
2. Select “Import FXB/FXP…” from the pop-up menu.
This menu item is only available for VST 2 plug-ins.

All VST 2 presets can be converted to VST 3 presets.
