Missing Key Command Presets

Hi. VERY new to Nuendo here. I come from many years of PT Ultimate and from what I’ve seen, I am SUPER impressed with N11.

However I have the issue, that the presets for Key Command sets are not there. I’d like to try the Pro Tools preset, but nothings selectable. No response when I click the small arrows or the field to their left. I’ve located the preset files on the hdd and everything is in there, I just can’t see or select them from the program. What to do?

I’m on OS 10.15.7

In case you didn’t see this – a user recently posted their PT’s keyboard shortcuts preset that may be improved over the Preset Nuendo comes with. You can find it at the URL below:

That sounds great but the problem is that I can’t even open the drop down menu to load any presets - factory or user. It must be some bug, I reckon.

The Key Command presets should reside inside the Nuendo 11.app container; right click the Nuendo icon, select “Show package content” >Contents >presets >Key Commands.

If the list of Key Command presets (8 items) is there but you still can’t select any of them inside Nuendo I suggest you reinstall Nuendo.

If the 8 items are not there, reinstall Nuendo.

The presets should appear in your Preset drop down menu inside the Key Commands window in Nuendo (they do here under MacOs 11.6.5). I don’t think this is a bug but rather your installation gone wrong. Try installing again.

Have you ever been able to figure this out? I’m having the same issue on my windows laptop. Key command presets are not showing up. I see them in the nuendo/presets folder in explorer, but they don’t show up in nuendo. On my other computer (also windows 10) it works fine. I tried reinstalling. Any other options?

In case anyone else runs into this, i got a very quick reply from Steinberg support with the solution that worked for me:

With Nuendo closed go to

C: > Programs > Steinberg > Nuendo 12

Copy the presets folder.

Then go to

C: > Users >“Your Folder” > AppData* > Roaming > Steinberg > Nuendo

Paste that folder.

Now launch Nuendo and it should have the presets.

  • AppData is hidden to show follow this.
  1. In the file explorer ribbon click on the View Tab
  2. Put a check in the hidden items box.

I have installed nuedno 12 on my laptop on Windows 11. I did what you said but it’s not working.
On my desktop with windows 10 it’s working. I didn’t understand where problem is.

I’m running N12 on Win 11. If it helps, this is where my key commands are located and they are working as expected.
