# How to use RPL files. RPL stands for Reaper Preset Library. We use RPL files to work around presets being inaccessible in some third-party plug-ins. Once an RPL file has been imported, you'll find accessible presets in the usual place (the Presets combo box in your FX window). 1. Download the RPL file you're interested in. 2. In REAPER, load the relevant plug-in or instrument on a track or take. 3. In REAPER's FX window, hit Tab until you reach the "Presets and Performance Management" button. 4. Hit Shift+Space on the button and a menu will pop up. Choose the "Import preset library" option. 5. You'll find yourself in a standard Open dialog. Browse to and hit Enter on the RPL file you want to import. If it's a large collection of presets, your computer might hang for a few seconds while REAPER imports the library. Once done, you'll land back in the FX window. At this point, you should find that your Presets combo box is populated with new presets. Bonus tip: many of the RPL files created within our community have a bit of extra navigation built in. Typically, hitting numbers along the top row of the keyboard will jump through categories, and hitting Dash will jump to the next subfolder. ## Adding new presets: If you have presets to contribute to the collection, please add them to the Uploads folder and an admin will move them into place.
