1 scook Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Usually the scanner detects when a dll is updated unless the scanner is set to manual scan. If the scanner is set to manual scan, run the scanner from VST Preferences. If this plug-in is in the Exclusion List it may be restored without running a VST reset. To check the Exclusion list: open the Plug-in Manager click on "VST3 Instruments (VST3)" in Plug-in Categories click on the "Show Excluded" radio button see if the plug-in is in the Registered Plug-ins list If the plug-in is in the Exclusion List, to restore the plug-in to to VST preferences set the scan options drop down to Manual Scan enable "Rescan Failed Plug-ins" click Scan disable "Rescan Failed Plug-ins" restore the scan drop down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nigel Mackay Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks guys. What I did was run install again, and added the VST plugin, as well as the VST3 plugin. This put a dll file in the VST folder. This works, and is in fact a VST3 plugin. (Can I rename that to VST3, and put in in the right place?) When scanning, the log says: VSTSCAN: ---- 49: c:\program files\common files\vst3\SampleTank 4.vst3 ---- VSTSCAN: [ShortPath] c:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\vst3\SAMPLE~1.VST VSTSCAN: [RegKey] Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64\Inventory\c:/program files/common files/vst3/SampleTank 4.vst3 VSTSCAN: Known bad VST plugin skipped VSTSCAN: ---- 111: e:\data\midi\vstplugins\Samplers\SampleTank 4.dll ---- VSTSCAN: [ShortPath] e:\data\midi\VSTPLU~1\Samplers\SAMPLE~1.DLL VSTSCAN: [RegKey] Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64\Inventory\e:/data/midi/vstplugins/Samplers/SampleTank 4.dll The comment "Known bad VST plugin skipped" looks like a blacklist entry somewhere.

0 scook Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The Exclusion List in the Plug-in Manager is the blacklist. Not sure about renaming plug-ins with dll extensions to vst3. Unless I know for certain the plug-in is VST3 I would leave the file names as the manufacturer supplies them. I only know of one case where a manufacturer (not IKM) accidentally used dll for the extension of their VST3 plug-in but I suppose there could be more. I cannot speak directly about SampleTank. Don't have the plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nigel Mackay Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Not there. With "Show permanently excluded" ticked and unticked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scook Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 AFAIK, that is the only list. Is the log entry above from a VST Reset? If not then a Reset may be in order. If it is then this is a support@cakewalk.com issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scook Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 You can if the manufacturer accidentally shipped their VST3 plug-in with a dll extention. I have had to do it one time. However, I have on several occassions temporarily renamed vst3 files to dll in order to get check their version info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nigel Mackay Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 OK. A Reset Rescan solved the problem. VST3 working in default folder again. The dll plugin is the (working) VST2 version. Thanks, everyone. And Reset didn't even harm my personal plugin menu layouts. And all the plugins in my personal exclusion list stayed there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scook Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I am surprised a scan with "Rescan Failed Plug-ins" did not pick it up. Regardless, aside from the extra time a Reset takes, it is a fairly harmless action. IIRC, it does lose custom property settings like "Do Not Intercept NRPNs" but does not touch layouts or the category database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
