Next is Missing VST presets?

Sort of sucks. I inserted Addictive Drums and was hoping to use my Pre Set from Sonar. 

Does anyone know where Sonar stores the presets for 3rd party VST's? 

As far as I know, Next has no preset manager. It relies on the plug-ins to have their own preset managers.

This pretty much took it out of consideration for me. I fire it up from time to time just to play with it, but I have 35 brainworx-made (Plugin Alliance) plug-ins that don't have their own preset managers. Next doesn't even have a way to load .vstpreset files. Sonar does, via the VST3 menu in the plug-in window. It's clunky but it does at least work.

In the case of Addictive drums I had not learned my way around the new GUI.
The dialogue box in the middle at the top takes you to the presets. I’ve had no problem now using AD in any Daw.  

It’s definitely a Daw with potential for people who desire simplicity but even simple projects have all come to dead end most times for me.  
 

I’ve reported a few new bugs I found and never even got an auto reply. My post was here in plain sight for 3 weeks and it got zero response. So I removed it. Why bother.

The standalone version of AD2 indicates that default User Presets location is C:\Users\*Your PC*\Documents\Addictive Drums\User Presets but you can load them from, or store them, anywhere you want. Just click the down arrow to the right of the VST Preset Options at the top left of the AD2 window and browse to where you want to load from, or store, AD2 presets.
