Re: .vstpreset extension

I am trying to install a samplepack into Halion Sonic 7 (newest version 7.1.2). but keep on getting the following error “The preset could no be loaded. This can happen if the preset was saved by a newer version of this plugin or by an incompatible plugin”.

The file format is for some reason associated with Reason 13 which I don’t get!

Any help would be appreciated. The sample pack is the free"Super-808-Starter-Kit-V1.0" by Doctor Mix

Hi @Tech-dance!

Please start the Steinberg Download Assistant and give it a moment to search for updates. Install if available.

The installer for the Steinberg Library Manager should grab the *.vstsound association. Again, run the Steinberg Download Assistant to get the latest version or go to the support download site and uninstall/reinstall the library manager.

If the files are still associated with reason, your system is borked and you need to learn how to fix that.

Hope this guides you in the right direction.

I already did this. It made no difference

@Philippe_Bono What should the file association be set to? Which program?

I am happy to report this was a fault of the free soundpack. The full version has no issues

Good to know that it works.

The *.vstsound extension needs to be assigned to the Steinberg Library Manager.

Might be worth to get in touch or check if Dr Mix has made an update of the container.
