IMPORTING LEGACY PRESETS & TIMbRES

Before proceeding to transfer Presets and Timbres from the original Animoog, please make sure that you're using at least Animoog version 2.4.20 on iPad and at least Animoog for iPhone version 1.3.11 on iPhone. These versions and later have been updated with support for the iOS Files app, allowing all Animmog's Presets and Timbres to be easily accessible.

Please follow the steps outlined below to transfer all your Animoog Presets and Timbres to Animoog Z:

IMPORT THROUGH DRAG & DROP (v1.0.1 and later)

Animoog Z v1.0.1 and later added Drag & Drop support for importing ZIP files with Presets and Timbres.

1. OPEN FILES APP TO CREATE ZIP FILE

Launch the Files App on your iOS device and navigate to "On My iPad". Find the Animoog icon, press and hold, and select Compress from the popup menu. This packages up all the Presets and Timbres into a ZIP file.

2. HOLD AND DRAG THE ZIP FILE

Press, hold and drag the ZIP archive in the Files app.
Keep that finger pressed to continue dragging the ZIP archive.

3. NAVIGATE TO ANIMOOG Z

Swipe on the home indicator with another finger until Animoog Z is the active app.

4. DROP THE ZIP FILE TO IMPORT

When Animoog Z is in the foreground, release your first finger and drop the ZIP archive.

The import process is intelligent in that it will detect exact duplicates that will be skipped and will detect duplicate file names that have differing content, and rename the imported Preset or Timbre to preserve the original one.

5. ANIMOOG Z FINISHED IMPORTING PRESETS AND TIMBRES

When all the Presets and Timbres in the ZIP file finished importing, Animoog Z will display a summary of the import operation.

NOTE: If the import finishes immediately without any Presets or Timbres being imported, please try step 2 again, sometimes it takes a while for the iOS Files app to make newly created files ready for sharing.

IMPORT THROUGH SHARE MENU

1. OPEN FILES APP TO CREATE ZIP FILE

Launch the Files App on your iOS device and navigate to "On My iPad". Find the Animoog icon, press and hold, and select Compress from the popup menu. This packages up all the Presets and Timbres into a ZIP file.

2. SHARE ZIP FILE TO ANIMOOG Z

When your iOS device has finished creating the ZIP file, press and hold it, and select Share from the popup menu.

Animoog Z will be part of the options presented in the next menu, if you can't see it immediately, swipe leftwards on the row of app icons until you see "More...". This will bring you to the full list of applications on your iOS device that support opening ZIP files.

Press on the Animoog Z icon to share the ZIP file to Animoog Z.

3. IMPORT ZIP FILE INTO ANIMOOG Z

Animoog Z will launch automatically and ask if it should proceed to import the ZIP archive you shared.

The import process is intelligent in that it will detect exact duplicates that will be skipped and will detect duplicate file names that have differing content, and rename the imported Preset or Timbre to preserve the original one.

4. ANIMOOG Z FINISHED IMPORTING PRESETS AND TIMBRES

When all the Presets and Timbres in the ZIP file finished importing, Animoog Z will display a summary of the import operation.

NOTE: If the import finishes immediately without any Presets or Timbres being imported, please try step 2 again, sometimes it takes a while for the iOS Files app to make newly created files ready for sharing.
