Welcome!

As the VST2 (Windows version) ID changed with Presswerk version 1.1.1, DAW project files that include instances of earlier versions need to be converted before they will work properly.

The u-he File Converter application supports the following formats:
 - Steinberg Cubase .cpr files
 - Cakewalk Sonar .cwp files
 - Presonus Studio One .song and .project files
 - Ableton Live .als files

When the converter runs, a copy of each selected project file is created, converted and saved into the same folder with "_converted" appended to the name. Although the originals are not overwritten, please consider backing up those projects — better safe than sorry.
Double-click the file named u-he File Converter. The conversion is a simple 3 step process:


1. Select an input folder

Click "Browse.." and select the folder containing the project file(s) you want to convert. The program will scan the selected folder and any subfolders for supported file types.
We do not advise selecting the the entire hard drive here — a complete scan would take too long.


2. Choose a conversion type

After the input folder is scanned, the "Choose Conversion Options" menu will show conversion options based on the project files found. For example, if a .cpr file is found, the option "Convert Cubase Project" will appear in the menu. If an expected option fails to appear, please check whether you selected the correct input folder. After choosing a conversion type, you will see the list of files to be converted.
 

3. Click the "Convert" button...

Note that the application only runs a single conversion type at a time. If you have project files from different DAWs, please run the u-he File Converter once for each file type.


To check whether the conversion was successful, open one of the converted files in your DAW and see if Presswerk loads in your project. If you encounter problems or have any questions about u-he File Converter, please check our FAQ and support section at u-he.com for further assistance.


Thanks for your patience!
