CONVERTING DVR2 PRESETS FROM SYSTEM 6000 AND REVERB 4000

In case you are the happy owner of the DVR2 algorithm for System 6000 or the Reverb 4000, here is something to get you in an even better mood: The DVR2 plug-in is able to read your System 6000/Reverb 4000 presets.

In order to convert presets from System 6000/Reverb 4000 to DVR2, you need to store the System 6000/Reverb 4000 presets in a preset file. The file extension has to be either “.syx” (for example: MyPresets.syx) or .mid for a MIDI file.

The easiest way to export System 6000/Reverb 4000 presets is to use the “export to file” function from the Icon Editor for Mac/Windows (requires version 3.5 or higher). Alternatively, you can save a bank to a floppy disk (System 6000 only) or do a SysEx- Dump to a MIDI file in your sequencer.

Note: For details regarding the export of presets from System 6000 or Reverb 4000, please refer to your System 6000/Reverb 4000 and Icon Editor documentation.

The generated SysEx/MIDI preset file needs to be placed in the default DVR2 Preset folder (at the root level; subfolders are not considered). The file needs to have either the extension “.syx” (for example: MyPresets.syx) or .mid for a MIDI file.

Note: In case you are running the Icon Editor on the same computer as the DVR2 plug-in, the DVR2 will automatically search for preset files in the default locations for Reverb 4000 and System 6000 files. You do not need to copy the files!

Once your preset file has been placed in the default DVR2 Preset folder, it will show up the next time you click the "File" button. At the top of the pop-up list you'll find a section called "Convert", and the name of your preset file will be listed here.

To convert your preset file to DVR2 presets, simply select the name of the preset file. The conversion will only take a few seconds and only needs to be done once.

When the conversion is done, all presets from your preset file will be available in a subfolder that has the same name as the preset file had. The presets will show up in the same bank structure as on the System 6000, and presets that are not based on the DVR2 algorithm will not be converted.

The preset file will disappear from the Convert section of the file menu.

Note: As the plug-in implementation of the DVR2 is stereo only, the surround settings from the System 6000 version will be ignored during preset conversion!
