VST3 presets are needed and are selected by default on install, if in the future you wish to install them back or revert to default you can also install just presets from the installer
Don't miss the part in the Presets Installer where it says to "change install location" and choose "install for me only", presets need to be installed for the current user so the plug-in can access them.
They are Universal 2 that means they both are Native Silicon and Native Intel at the same time, the processor will choose its prefered native code. Complete compatibility info is right here
CLAPTRAP 2 like all my newer plug-ins do not use "drag resize" capability yet, nevertheless
it uses "DPI awareness" which makes the plug-in GUI follow DAW (or the whole system) DPI
settings..
.aupreset can also be loaded by the PC version along vst3 ones.
Presets can be loaded/saved in .vstpreset, .aupreset and .xmlpreset/.xmlbank formats.
In order to design new presets, start with the a base preset and have fun messing around.
Export as .xmlpreset format which is a plain text easily editable and sharable.
Most parameters can be right clicked and "midi learned"
If you messed up just select "unlearn" for that control.
Any MIDI key will trigger the ClapTrap and if you toggle the "KEY" function on any Model the tuning
will be affected by the key pitch, this is a relative offset to the current Claptrap tuning.

CLAPTRAP2 2.0 is a totally different plugin so both can work at the same time and both can be installed alongside.
CLAPTRAP2 2.0 shouldn't mess with your previous work as it is a new plugin with a new ID. It is a complete rework so no preset sharing between v1.0 and v2.0 are possible. Some of v1 factory presets are present in V2.0 but won't sound exactly the same.
