How to load presets on the Hotone Ampero Mini

Back up first, then load your SoundShop presets on the Hotone Ampero Mini with the steps below.

This guide has 4 steps, start to finish. A printable PDF of it is also in every pack download.

The steps

1. Get Ampero Editor

Ampero Editor is Hotone's free software for Ampero Mini. Download the newest Ampero Editor for Mac or Windows from the Software section of Hotone's Support page. Ampero II Software is a different app and will not work with the Mini.

2. Connect and back up

Connect your Ampero Mini's USB-C port to your computer and open Ampero Editor. Before loading anything, choose Export All Patches and save the .prst file somewhere safe. Do this before any firmware update too, because Ampero Editor warns that a firmware update erases all user presets.

3. Load your presets

Unzip your download. Skip any __MACOSX folder and any file starting with ._ (Mac leftovers). In Ampero Editor, click Import and pick a .prst file from the Presets folder of your download. Repeat for each preset, then play them from your Mini's user banks.

4. Test out your new presets

You are good to go! Play through the sounds and see what inspires you. If you share something, tag the artist on social media. They would love to hear how you are using their presets.

Troubleshooting

  • Check out Hotone's Support page for the Ampero Mini manual, firmware and official troubleshooting tips.
