I think that should work.
Open "Options" > "General"
There is a "Folders" tab where there is a link to the "Presets" Folder.
This folder contains an “Import” button.

Re: Copy Presets form Mac to iPad
I was able to import one preset from my Mac into a folder called Pianoteq/Presets inside the iPad Pianoteq 8 user interface, but I cannot find it in order to use it. Any idea where it could be?

The user presets appear both in the Preset Manager window and in the preset selection box (pop-up menu) in the area of the instrument, i.e. the model on which they are based and edited
After importing, the user fxp file should be in the folder "Pianoteq/Presets/My Presets"

Re: Copy Presets form Mac to iPad
Ok, but how do you access the imported preset from the main interface in order to play with it? Also, after importing there was no folder Pianoteq/Presets/My Presets. The imported preset simply ended up in Pianoteq/Presets. And the main problem is still that I cannot dial in that preset the normal way. (

I've now tried it out myself. The easiest way is probably:
1. Copy a preset that you created on the Mac into a folder that the iPad also has access to, e.g. iCloud Drive
2. Open Pianoteq on the iPad and select the command "Load an FXP file" -> "Choose FXP file ...." from the preset menu
3. Navigate to the iCloud Drive and load the FXP file, then you should be able to play it
4. Save this preset to the iPad, then it will be copied to the "My Presets" subfolder

I can confirm this based on my tests. The My Presets folder is only created when you save a preset on the iPad.
You can then use the cut and paste functions in the presets window mentioned earlier (accessible via Options) to move presets.

Re: Copy Presets form Mac to iPad
Thanks, it worked. The main point I learned is to go to the command "Load an FXP file". After the preset is imported you also need to save it. It then gets saved to "My Presets". Otherwise it gets lost after changing to another preset.
