When i try to save a scaler project outside of “C:\ProgramData\Scaler Music\Scaler 3\Presets\Use”
it creates the save file and Scaler Freezes for ever. I have to force terminate Ableton through task manager. (scaler runs as VST inside Ableton)
Then the save file is 0 bytes after forcing Ableton to close.
I also tried to give everyone full access at the folder that i was trying to save but it had the same behavior.
The path name is d:\Music Projects\27 Mar 2025 Project\New Preset(3).s3p
This happens always i also tried to load a default preset “Dreamy Synthwave” without altering anything at scaler and it does the same thing.
I try to save it to a secondary hard disk (not external).
I also tried running Ableton as administrator and the same happens.
I move between several computers and use one external harddrive for instrument libraries and presets.
When I try to save user preset on external HD instead of deafault folder on C: ( Scaler Music\Scaler 3\Presets\User) the DAW chrashes.
I tried in Reaper 7.22 and Ableton lite 12. both crashes.
edit: Ok, so I see theres no way to open presets that are saved outside of default folder anyway?´ A feature for Scaler 3.1 maybe?
I had a similar issue, but on Studio One, with Studio One freezing when I saved the preset.
I wasn’t aware that saving to a non-standard location was the issue but it may well be, as I saved the preset to another location outside of the default Scaler 3 preset user directory.
I also might add that I am not aware of how we are able to use presets if saved anywhere other than the non standard location, when I try and load a preset, I cannot browse anywhere, only choose a pre-determined location including the User location.
I am not sure, but this sounds like a similar issue I am having. I tried saving a preset from within Scaler 3 audio version, but I saved the preset to a non-standard location. Am on Studio One Pro 7.
When I saved the preset, Studio One froze or hung and required me to kill it in task manager. When I tried opening the saved preset in Scaler 3 midi (VST3) the preset was empty like @Lucian89 reported.
I am using the latest version of Scaler 3, in my host it says Scaler 3 v1.0.2
Yes sorry maybe i was not clear (English is not my main lang). The problem is that when i save a preset outside of Scalers default location everything freezes (Scaler & Ableton).
