Where Does u-he Zebra2 Store Presets?
Zebra2 splits factory Local presets from User presets in Documents on Windows and the Audio Presets trees on Mac.
Last updated
Zebra2 keeps two preset roots like every modern u-he synth. Local holds the factory banks and stays pristine. User holds your creations and third party soundsets. Recent versions put both under a Zebra2.data folder in Documents on Windows and the Audio Presets trees on Mac.
That split decides every install. Drag and drop targets User automatically, which beats hand copying. Never edit Local directly. Confirm the exact preset subfolder name in the manual for your version, since Zebra generations name theirs slightly differently.
Where u-he Zebra2 stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\u-he\Zebra2.data\Presets\Zebra2
Factory Local plus UserPresets trees here. Save new work to User, leave Local alone. Preferences and themes sit in Support beside them.
~/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/Zebra2
Local factory tree plus user tree under your own Library. NKS presets live separately in Application Support. Use Go to Folder to reach either path.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install Zebra2 soundsets?
Drag the soundset file anywhere into the Zebra2 window. It lands in the User folder on its own. Manual copies go in UserPresets, never Local. Refresh the browser directory view when a new set stays invisible.
How do I move Zebra2 presets to a new computer?
Copy the UserPresets tree plus the favourites database with the DAW closed. Local factory content reinstalls with the plugin. Keep the Zebra2.data folder name intact or the plugin builds a fresh empty one beside it.
