Hello there. The easiest way is to run Z3TA+2 (as plugin or standalone, it doesn't matter), in the right upper corner there is a "Program" button. Left click it, then choose "Browse programs...", it will open the folder ("Programs") you are looking for, containing all your patches, i.e. standard library, expansions, whatever you already have for Z3TA+2. Just paste a folder with all your new patches right there, it will appear in Z3TA+2 righ away, under "Factory content" dropdown to the left of "programs" button, which you just clicked .. oh, MIDI's you might have to paste in "MIDI arpeggios" folder, it's right beside the "Programs" one )

I'm trying to find a guide for Z3ta+ 1.5, but I haven't found a good one yet. The downside with Z3ta+ 1.5 is new packs overwrite existing banks, so you can only have so many sounds loaded at a time.

Z3ta+ 2 on the otherhand is pretty easy: https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013261/Installing-Z3TA-2-Programs-and-Presets

Thank you for answering! Still all the z3ta+ stuff is usable in Z3TA+ 2 so i can put it all in there right?

IIRC, all Z3ta+ 1.5 patches are compatible with Z3ta+ 2.

Yes I followed these steps to create a folder and put my downloaded presets in a 'downloads' folder, but the Z3TA+2 doesn't add the folder to the banks dropdown menu.. i have to manualy click load preset from the programs button , then browse the folder and select one.
It works and the program shows the location name of the folder in the top pane of the plugin,
but the location isn't saved to Z3TA+2 to dropdown menu in the top pane.

How do I create a bank named 'Downloads' in the programs top pane dropdown menu?

Basicly any user created folders in the programs folder are not showing in the banks dropdown,
How do i add a bank/folder?

I'm not quite sure exactly. The DSP guys for Z3ta+2 are out of the office right now. I'll hit them up for an explanation and update this when I can.

I may be able to share the SDK we send developers.

Okay, so if you want to make your own folder of presets for Z3ta+ 2

1. Create a folder for your pack under [Steamlibrary]\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Content\Z3ta+ 2\
2. Inside that new Pack folder, create a sub-folder for patch types.
3. Place all your downloaded or user created .fxp files in this sub folder.
4. Once you relaunch Z3ta+ 2 everything should show up in the browser.

Example: [Steamlibrary]\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Content\Z3ta+ 2\Test Pack\Arp Type 1\Arp Type 1.fxp

Looks like I had actually made a guide for this a few years back!

I just updated it to be a bit clearer: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=177263793
