Where Does amsynth Store Config and Banks?
amsynth XDG config, user banks and factory read-only banks.
Last updated
amsynth splits XDG config from user banks. Options live in config while presets branch under data banks with a default set. Factory banks ship read-only in share.
Legacy dot paths predate the modern layout. Man plus README define the current pair. Keep user config plus banks together.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up amsynth?
Copy the amsynth config plus user banks folders with no instance running. Factory banks stay read-only under share. Restoring means putting user files back before launch.
Dot folder or XDG paths?
Old blogs name dot folder banks that predate XDG builds. Modern paths follow config and data homes. Trust the XDG pair on current installs.
