HOW TO ADD COVER ART TO BANKS BROWSER IN ANALOG LAB
Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to edit user bank icons within the plugin. That being said, it is possible to change them by manually adding your own icons to a system folder.
Simply copy the bank image file and paste into the following path:
MacOS: Macintosh HD/Library/Arturia/Shared/images/vc8_images/packs
Windows: Program Data/Arturia/Shared/images/vc8_images/packs
Notice: the artwork must be a 256x256 px .png file named exactly as the as the bank inside analog lab. We already provide this for our banks.

1 - Check Software Updates:
- Ensure that you are using the latest version of Analog Lab. Updates often include fixes for sample-related issues.
2 - Verify Sample Location:
- Open the Analog Lab V software and load the preset in question.
- Look for an option that allows you to view or manage the sample location. This could be in the preset settings or options menu.
3 - Reinstall the bank:
