dimension synth is missing

[charles kasler 7]

This is new - it used to be there. The dll file is still listed in my folders. I rescan but it's not listed when I try to insert a synth. Thanks for any help.

Hi Charles,

Just wondering did you resolve this issue?

I find in the last week that Dimension Pro  is now only available as an FX.

Mine is not showing up in the Instrument folder though.....only FX folder.

Only  showing up as a VST in plugin Manager

I have reinstalled it twice from command center....but no luck.

I am sure it was an Instrument  last week..........I recall using it as such............unless I'm going silly.....and that is possible too 

Your post is from some time back....hoping you might have resolved it or someone might jump in with advice.

No I did not resolve it I just gave up. It shows up in folders in a different daw but still will not play. I thought it might have been a cakewalk update but I don't know. It's frustrating over the years when I get comfortable with my workflow and then things change and I often feel like I'm having to start over. That's technology!

Possibly you didn’t activate it. Even when installed from Command Center the first time you open it it will ask you to enter the serial number.  That pop up might have been hidden behind the window you had open. 
It has a stand alone version you can open and register that. You have to run it as Administrator as well.

This is why I mostly use external modules.

Thanks John I will check that out, it's been working in the past and already activated unless a CBB update somehow disrupted that.

Well,

I managed to get Dimension Pro back as a VSTi .....as follows:

 

1.Reinstall D-ProInstall_1.5.5.16.exe  (- 64 Bit vers)

2.Once Installed, right clicked on the application's desktop icon and go to Properties /Advanced and Tick 'Run as Administrator'

( Thanks John Vere of earlier post for that tip - Registration Code Fails otherwise)

3.Open the Stand Alone Application now on desktop ,fill in the registration Code request on the pop up window that emerges and press submit.

4. Hopefully next Pop up window will acknowledge successful registration.

(NB: At this stage I expected all now to be well, however , Dimension Pro still did not appear in the CbB Instrument folders or the  VSTis  of the Plug in Manager. The following steps to success were a  fluke discovery but it solved the issue ......for me at least)

5. With CbB closed, I went to c:Program Files/Cakewalk/VstPlugins/DimensionPro. 

6.I Cut  Dimension Pro folder and Pasted it temporarily to desktop.

7.Opened CbB where it advised upon opening that #1 plugin had been removed (Presumably the Dimension Pro FX plugin which I mentioned in earlier post)

8.I then closed CbB 

9.I copied from desktop and reinstated the Dimension Pro Folder back in Program Files/Cakewalk/VstPlugins folder

10.Reopened CbB and in my case, Dimension pro was back in the instruments folder and gone from FX.

(Was not sure why it was in FX ..............I have never used it as such).

Hope this might help someone else at some stage......worth a try anyway.

Cheers Frank
