24. How are the Audio effect presets stored in PowerTracks?

This is applicable to the older non-realtime audio effects accessed under the Edit | Audio Effects menu.

The effects presets are stored in .ini files in the C:\PT folder. Each ini file is stored with a prefix of 'Pst^'. For instance, the 32 echo presets are stored in 'Pst^echo.ini' You can back up your Pst^ files to protect against a crash, or make a folder to hold auxiliary preset files. You could then drag the file you want into the PT folder, and rename it appropriately so the audio plugin can find it. Similarly, you can share a set of presets with a friend by emailing the Pst^ files. Unfortunately, the current preset format is stored in a binary format, so you can't edit or copy/paste settings between preset files with a text editor.
