NOTE: For details regarding the export of presets from System 6000, please refer to
your System 6000 and Icon Editor documentation.

The generated SysEx/MIDI preset file needs to be placed in the default MD3 Preset
folder (at the root level; sub-folders are not considered). The file needs to have either
the extension ".syx" (for example: MyPresets.syx) or .mid for a MIDI file.

Note: In case you are running the Icon Editor on the same computer as the MD3 plug-
in, the MD3 will automatically search for preset files in the default locations for and
System 6000 files. You do not need to copy the files!

Once your preset file has been placed in the default MD3 Preset folder, it will show
up the next time you click the "File" button. At the top of the pop-up list you'll find a
section called "Convert", and the name of your preset file will be listed here.

To convert your preset file to MD3 presets, simply select the name of the preset file.
The conversion will only take a few seconds and only needs to be done once.
When the conversion is done, all presets from your preset file will be available in a
sub-folder that has the same name as the preset file had. The presets will show up in
the same bank structure as on the System 6000, and presets that are not based on
the MD3 algorithm will not be converted.
The preset file will disappear from the Convert section of the file menu.
