This article shows how to import 3rd-party presets in Absynth, FM8, and Massive.

- In Options, go to the Browser tab and click Add.
In FM8 Options, click the Database tab.
A new window will open where you can select the folder on your hard drive containing the 3rd-party presets (in this example a folder named Arps and Sequences). The respective entry will be added to the User Library Directories:

- Once the database rebuild is complete, the new folder and its presets will become available in the File Browser of your instrument.
