Troubleshooting Steps to Resolve Settings Loss in Mariana:


Manually Delete Mariana Settings Folder:

    • Windows:C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\Moog Music\Mariana
    • Mac:~/Library/Application Support/Moog Music/Mariana
  • Ensure your DAW and Mariana are closed before making changes.

  • Update Your DAW and Mariana Plugin:

    • Check for updates to both your DAW and Mariana. Updates can fix compatibility issues and improve functionality.


Run Your DAW as Administrator (Windows Users):

  • Right-click the DAW application and select "Run as Administrator." This ensures sufficient permissions for saving plugin states.



Save Settings as Presets in Mariana:

  • Mariana allows you to save custom settings as presets. Use the "Save as Default" or preset save option to quickly reload settings if they reset.


Check DAW Preferences:

  • Confirm that your DAW has a setting to save plugin states with the project. Look for an option like “Save Plugin States with Project” and enable it.

    1. Uninstall Mariana completely.
    2. Delete any leftover files from the following paths:
      • Windows:C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\Moog Music\Mariana
