File locations
The following default locations are used for Alchemy files.
Presets: /Library/Application Support/Logic/Plugin Settings/Alchemy
User presets: ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Plug-In Settings/Alchemy/
Sample data: /Library/Application Support/Logic/Alchemy Samples/
Sampler Instruments: /Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments
User sample data: ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Alchemy Samples/
Ratings, comments, tags, and attributes: These are stored in the preset database file.
When a preset is saved as part of a CST, patch, or project (when “Include Alchemy assets”
is not active in the preferences), AAZ data (the Alchemy analyzed sample format) that has
already been saved is referenced in its current location. If AAZ data has not already been
saved, it is saved in the ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Alchemy Samples/ folder.
When an ACP (Alchemy preset) file is saved, references to AAZ files in the factory samples
folder are also saved. If AAZ files are in any other location, they are saved in the same
folder as the ACP file. The ACP filename is used at the front of AAZ filenames.
User samples may be located anywhere on disk, with AAZ data being saved in the patch or
preset location. The locations above are the defaults when “Include Alchemy assets” is not
active in the preferences.
