I have my main project on my desktop PC with MIDI Shortcuts that I spent a long time setting up. I want to transfer those accurately to my laptop for a gig.
I've saved them as an .xml file and copied to the laptop. It shows up in the shortcut presets menu and when I select all the MIDI shortcuts pop up in the laptop project. However, they are different than they were on desktop PC! I have both Resolume's settings set to Middle C = C3
Here are some of the MIDI Shortcuts on the PC (as they should be):
and here they are on the laptop (inaccurate)
I spent hours setting these up, would hate to have to waste precious time setting them all up again on the laptop.
Thanks!
MIDI Shortcuts are all mixed when transferred from PC to Laptop

What do you mean by "I've saved them as an .xml file"
Did you edit the files manually with a text editor?

No I didn't edit them. I used the dropdown menu in the "shortcuts" tab to save my MIDI shortcuts as a preset.
I just wasn't sure how to transfer the preset file to my laptop so I used the "Show In Explorer" option in the dropdown menu and it sent me to a folder where my preset was saved as an .xml file.
So I figured the correct way to transfer that to my laptop was to copy/paste the xml file in the corresponding folder on my laptop.

copying the preset file Resolume made is the recommended method indeed.
Do you have other shortut presets on the new machine? Maybe another one gets loaded instead of the one you copied?
Also Resolume needs to be closed when changing preset files.

Re: MIDI Shortcuts are all mixed when transferred from PC to Laptop
Perhaps I figured this out because the previous time I tried it I uploaded to google drive to transfer between computers.
I just did this again using a USB thumb drive and it seemed to have worked.
I still feel like I'm experiencing a lot of weird MIDI shortcut bugs - like they are not saving and/or they are changing on their own. It's confusing but I'm trying to get to the bottom of it.

Is the Resolume folder being synced to the cloud?
