Exporting Programs and Layers as VST 3 Presets with Files

You can export a program or layer, including all of its files, to a new directory. This enables you to use your programs or layers on another computer.

Procedure

  1. In the Program Tree, right-click the program or layer, and select Import/Export > Export Program as VST 3 Preset/Import/Export > Export Layer as VST 3 Preset.
  2. In the dialog, specify a name and a location for the files and set up the attributes.
  3. Activate Export Files, and click OK.

Result

HALion creates a VST 3 preset and several folders in the specified directory. These folders contain all the resources required by the program.

Note

This function is also useful if you are collaborating with others on a library because it allows you to create a working directory. For more information, consult the section Guidelines > Using Relative Paths at https://developer.steinberg.help.
