I have just updated and converted banks but I think some of my own patches must have been in the factory location so they are now above the line between user and factory patches - since the new folder location doesn't seem to differentiate how can I move them all into the user group?
Ah that explains it - so the 2 banks Aaltovista (mine) and Aaltosphere (Zensound) are now being classed as factory banks ;)
Hi I released another Aalto bank for free - these are more diverse and 'normal' type sounds than my last 2 banks which focussed more on drones and self generating sounds - even a few basses:

Merry Xmas
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but I'm finding the menu system in Aalto is consistently requiring me to click on it twice pretty much every time I want to navigate it - the first time I open it it just poofs on me while navigating it. It's getting to be a bit of a pain that it won't stay open.
This on Mavericks - doesn't matter which host - MacMini (i7)
Forgot to add the free taster bank now has 20 patches in it taking the total to 105 patches - it can be downloaded from the KvR patch database:

Hope you don't mind me posting this here, I have released a bank of 85 presets for Aalto.

They are mainly subtle drifting self generating sounds so lots of drones, feedback soundscapes and sequenced tones but mostly slow and gradual - not hard and glitchy.
In the meantime I have edited every patch that wasn't loading on Win systems (i.e. all the ones made or updated in the 1.4.1 Mac version) in a text editor to an earlier Aalto version. I have tested them all on my old Win laptop and they are loading and sounding the same as the Mac versions so I have posted an updated zip on my site (also I have emailed the fixed versions to people who emailed me about the problem). Thanks Randy for your advice.
Hi I just released another Aalto bank:

this one goes from extremes of soft, evolving, minimalistic cloud-like sounds to hard, clanking, chiming mechanical polyrythmic sounds - some even morph between both!
There's a free taster bank with 12 patches available from here:

they are not patches found in the Drone Machines bank but along similar lines musically (i.e. mainly gently generative soundscape/drone oriented sounds and textures)
Hi all
I have decided to share a small Aalto bank for this Xmas - 12 presets for 12 days of Xmas. Most are along the same lines as the patches in my Drone Machines bank - self generating but mostly quite subtle and unfolding, not the usual glitchy stuff Aalto excels at.

These are in Aalto native and Aupreset formats
Hi - just to let you know that although Xmas is over I am keeping this release going as a free addon to Drone Machines and taster for anyone who doesn't have it - so now download from here:

thanks for your comments
Hi I opened the new version in NI Kore 2 and found that the automation ID's are all mixed up - what was previously cutoff for example is now the mod amount for freq (hz). This could cause people who have previously saved projects in hosts with automation problems as their projects will sound very different. Can you change them back to how they were before?
None of the presets I have made in the vst version will open in Logic. I seem to remember there being a preset converter in Aalto but I can't seem to find it anymore.
