Where Does Xfer OTT Store Presets?
OTT keeps user presets with the Xfer presets tree in Documents on Windows and the shared Audio Presets folder on Mac.
Last updated
OTT follows the Xfer house layout. User presets sit in an OTT folder inside the shared Xfer presets tree. Windows keeps that tree in Documents, Mac keeps it in the system Audio Presets folder. The free installer builds factory content there on first run.
Serum owners will feel at home, with one trap. Serum and OTT share a vendor but never a presets folder. Mixing the two trees hides banks from both plugins. Keep OTT files in the OTT branch and the browser stays honest.
Where Xfer OTT stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Xfer\OTT
User OTT banks here, apart from Serum Presets. Confirm the live folder from the plugin preset menu when a custom install moved it.
/Library/Audio/Presets/Xfer Records/OTT
Shared vendor tree for Xfer plugins on Mac. OTT reads only its own subfolder. Use Go to Folder in Finder since Library stays hidden.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install downloaded OTT presets?
Drop the preset files into the OTT presets folder for your OS, then reopen the plugin menu. Keep them out of the Serum Presets tree, since OTT reads only its own folder. Restart the DAW when a new bank stays hidden.
How do I back up OTT presets?
Copy the OTT presets folder with the DAW closed. The free installer recreates factory content, so user banks are the only part worth archiving. Match plugin versions on both machines or newer banks refuse to parse.
