I do not understand why but when I installed Caustic 3.2 update on Android the Sawsynth directory is empty whereas in the Windows version it contains 49 presets.
Pretty sure if that is the case, Rej didn't add the presets to his assets directory for packaging OR he forgot to add code to copy that directory when updating, has to be either of the two.
I also had no presets in Sawsynth after updating on Android. Had 3.1 since before and have had no beta version installed. No trouble really copying from PC version, but maybe update that for new downloads on Google Play Store and/or upload stock presets as .causticpack for import in the Sawsynth preset subsection that I hope will be coming soon! :-)
Also, in the YouTube tutorial Rej selects a preset called Spirit Temple and a brief sound is heard. Sounded familiar but I was too lazy to fire up OOT for comparison. Anyways I cannot see that preset in the PC version so I recreated just by pausing the tutorial. I know it will help me boost my daughter's morale when it comes to keyboard practice, as she loves the Zelda games, so thanks!

Yeah I hear people, I have been busy with my apps trying to get one ready for release.It's been almost 3 years since I had to add one to the section, need to refresh my memory. :)
You're doing great! Hope you can see through all what's demanding (though I hope I didn't come off like that) and see the sheer enthusiasm. As long as people aren't expecting immediate responses but rather just post suggestions off the top of their heads.
You do this for 5 years and nothing really bothers you anymore, I am just in the middle of getting Caustic Guide ready for release and the last couple weeks have been busy. Rej kind of surprised me with the release so I didn't have the SawSynth category up. Plus I am lazy. :)
This is still a bug though. Jason what you describe is how to reinstall something but with a .1 upgrade, Rej should have code that knows this and adds the presets.
See this;
B WHATS_NEW_320 FALSE
If that were true or didn't exist, Rej knows he is configuring 3.2 for the first time.
Sure it happens that you must turn violent and kill a config file or two (especially in beta but I was not part of that here), but I just toggled the 320 line to TRUE and got the same result. Saving me a total of 1 MINUTE of resetting my configurations! :-D
I had the other new presets from before though I think, so I guess something glitched on sawsynth or whatever. Easy fix anyway, thanks to you both.
@Mike : I hope the Sawsynth preset section will be added in a near future.
Do you plan to do the same kind of thing on the teotigraphix site, so that we can share sounds and groups, and maybe templates and future effect chains and masters ?

I think I will get to it this week actually.

Yes, you can upload stuff right now in a post. But yeah, I am going to make content types, my site is going to have DEEP integration with these library items. I am even thinking about web services where Guide can use those services to connect to the database on my site and connect users that way right IN Guide.
If this is the case, using OAuth, you will be able to upload straight from Android or Desktop Caustic Guide app to the site, creating a "library entry".
This will then be tightly coupled to users and views, I think I am going to make it pretty nice.

Ahhhhhhhh forgetting proper upgrading installation of a new version of software....
Ok, I'll be nice...... the fast way to get the new demo sounds/presets for the official Caustic 3.2 market build:
1. Completely close down Caustic app
2.goto your File Explorer
3. browse to /caustic
4. delete the CONFIG file,
5. Re-launch Caustic -- you should see the "extracting demo content" window.... the rest loads up from there.
6. enjoy the newly added presets (I have a few in there too for you as well) for all synth machines

@Wellsley Yeah, I found those searching for others with no preinstalled presets, thanks! Haven't browsed through them yet though.
@mike Guide seems promising, big admiration for this wonderful buffet of good sounds coming out of this macrocosmos.

Now that sounds promising !
