3. In the file dialog that opens, locate the FXP file and click Open.
If you load a bank (.fxb), it will replace the current set of all effect programs. If you
load a single program, it will replace the currently selected effect program only.
Note that such files exist only if you created your own .fxp/.fxb presets with a
previous version of Cubase (or any other VST
2 application).
4. After importing, you can convert the current program list to VST presets by
selecting “Convert Program List to VST Presets” from the Preset Management
pop-up menu.
After converting, the presets will be available in the Presets browser, and you can
use the Attribute Inspector to add attributes and audition the presets. The
converted presets will be stored in the VST3 Preset folder.
Saving insert effect combinations
You can save the complete insert effect rack for a channel together with all parameter
settings as an inserts preset. Inserts presets can be applied to audio, instrument, FX
channel, or group tracks.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the desired track in the track list and open the Inserts Inspector section.
2. Load a combination of insert effects and adjust the parameters (or select effect
presets) for each effect.
3. At the top of the Inserts tab, click the VST Sound button to open the Preset
Management pop-up menu for the inserts and select “Save FX Chain Preset…”.
This can also be done from the Channel Settings window using the VST Sound
button at the top of the Inserts section.
4. In the dialog that opens, type in a name for the preset.
5. Select the track (audio/group/instrument/FX channel) you wish to apply the new
preset to, and open the Preset Management pop-up menu.
As you can see, the new preset is available at the top of the pop-up menu.
6. Select the preset you created from the pop-up menu.
The effects are loaded into the Insert slots of the new track, and the control panels
for all effects are opened.
