To load 3rd party presets and sounds into u-he synthesizers like ACE, DIVA, Zebra and HIVE – and to access them directly through the synthesizer`s preset browser, you must place/copy the presets to a specific folder/path, depending if you operating on Win or Mac OS.

Additionally, the synthesizer`s manual also will contain detailed information about where to place the presets and load them.

Preset location path for ACE:

WinOS: /[your VST folder]/ACE/ACE.data/Presets/
MacOS: /Users/[your name]/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/

Preset location path for DIVA:

WinOS: /[your VST folder]/DIVA/DIVA.data/Presets/
MacOS: /Users/[your name]/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/

Preset location path for HIVE:

WinOS: /[your VST folder]/HIVE/HIVE.data/Presets/
MacOS: /Users/[your name]/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/

Preset location path for Zebra2:

WinOS: /[your VST folder]/Zebra/Zebra.data/Presets/
MacOS: /Users/[your name]/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/

Additional Information

In most cases our products (e.g. soundsets and presets packs) contain a detailed installation guide, if the presets based on the synthesizer, need to be placed in specific folders and of course, which version of the specific synthesizer is required to use the soundset files. Otherwise, the developer`s manual of the synthesizer always shows how it`s own preset handling works and can be used.
