Thank you very much for creating these plugins; several of them would be very useful in my "music" creation process...but first I have to get them to show up in SONAR, so I need a bit of help. 😳
I can install the MFX without any errors, but they do not show up in any of the menus with other MFX, nor do they show up in the Cakewalk Plugin Manager window's MFX list (even in the excluded or permanently excluded lists).
I am still using an ancient version of SONAR, on a non-updatable early-Win10 machine (if I update anything, it screws things up so things I need to work in a specific exact way don't work that way anymore, or don't work at all, etc). I tried to put CbB on there at one time and had to do a restore of the machine to the point before I did that in order to get things working again, so I can't use newer versions. (so if these plugins require a newer version, I can't use them; I hope that is not the case).
I have been able to manually register other MFX (like TenCrazy's stuff), and even certain DX effects that come as registerable dlls. (this process still works; I verified that I can unregister a TenCrazy MFX, open SONAR and see that it isn't there, then close SONAR, reregister the dll, reopen SONAR, and see that it is now back and works when inserted into a MIDI track effects bin (or clip fx bin).
I get no errors (just the success dialog as expected) when registering or unregistering the Variorum MFX, using either the provided install routines and batch files, or using the simple manual regsvr32 process (which I long ago added to my SendTo folder so I only have to right click on a dll to reg/unreg it--I can post that trick if anyone needs it).
Each is placed in it's own folder inside the C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared MFX\Variorum\ subfolder, since the readmes and bat files are all identically named, and I didn't want to go thru and rename them all (so they can all be in one folder) and debug anything that might cause problems with. If it won't cause problems, and would fix the issue, I will rename those files and place all of them inside the root Shared MFX subfolder instead. (or wherever is necessary to make them work--what I have seen posted indicates it shouldn't matter where they are as long as they stay where they were sucessfully registered from).
I'd like to do more to thank you for making these (whether they can be made to work on my system or not), but all I can offer is the music that may be improved (or made less tedious to create), such as the present work-in-progress
Ookami no Kari no Yume
/track/ookami-no-kari-no-yume
(while listening, imagine a wolf having a dream of being in a pack of wolves that spot something and chase it thru snowy hilly terrain with small clusters of trees (and no, wolves wouldn't howl while chasing, but some artistic license was taken so the listener can better get into the visualization. )
