You can copy your presets/soundfonts/pedalboards in the next folder:

The easiest way of getting your presets & soundfonts inside your zynthian is by using the webconf's preset manager:
 +
 
 +
  http://zynthian.local/lib-presets
 +
 
 +
From there you manage your preset & soundfont libraries: renaming, deleting and uploading, including automatic convertion from some native formats:
 +
 
 +
* DX7 SysEX files
 +
* OBXd FXB files
 +
* synthv1 native format
 +
* padthv1 native format
 +
 
 +
If it's not working for you or you prefer to do it by hand, you can copy your presets/soundfonts/pedalboards into the next folder:
    
  /zynthian/zynthian-my-data
 
  /zynthian/zynthian-my-data

In 'mod-pedalboards' you will find your stored MOD-UI pedalboards.

SFZ and GIG soundfonts are used with LinuxSampler. SF2 soundfonts are used with FluidSynth. SFZ and GIG soundfonts must be organized in 'bank' subfolders. SF2 files are considered "banks" by itself.
