Multiple VSTs showing up

[Seamus O'Sullivan]

Hi folks,

 

I have installed juicyfs.dll by birchlabs and DrumPro by StudioLinkedVST as VSTs on my system.

Now when I add an instrument the drop down shows 2 of each of them - see screenshot

Can anyone tell me why that is?

My only VST scan path is C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VSTPlugins

Thanks

Seamus

One is the VST2 and one is the VST3 instance? Insert both and check, exclude the one you don’t want.

My bad,
I see duplicates in the drop down when I insert effects, caused by having both the VST2 and VST3 enabled.
On the phone, I didn't see that you were having issues with a VSTi...
sorry guys!

Hi tom,

I can't seem to work out how to identify which is which after inserting two tracks - both have the same details - see attached:

Thanks for your time

The icons to the left of the names in the most recently used area are all VST2.

Not sure how one doubles up  entries in the MRU list like the image shows. I tried but could not replicate it.

Thanks scook,

My only reference to juicyfsplugin.dll is c:\program files\cakewalk\VSTs

If i move it to a different folder temporarily and rescan CbB doesn't see it. But move it back, rescan and add instrument there they are again - the two entries

The area is not part of the plug-in layout.

It is a recently used list maintained separately in the registry - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core\Recently Used Synths

Delete the duplicates using regedit if you wish.

They should naturally retire when other synths are used.
