JoeGBradford Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hi all I have z3ta in my VST folder but CbB isn't picking it up - I've checked excluded plugin but it isn't there either. Any ideas? I've certainly used it before - possibly in Sonar Home Studio - can't remember if I have used it in CbB but I think I have Appreciate any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Just to add this is the original version of z3ta - the dll files seem suspiciously small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User 905133 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I have several versions of the three files (z3ta+.dll, z3ta+_fx.dll, z3ta+_fx2.dll) on my PC. For one set, they are all 984 KB. Another set ranges from 1,318 KB to 1,320 KB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I had a problem with SFZ+ registering; as in not being found. It didnt register until after I changed the DLL file from "SFZ+.dll" to "SFZ_plus.dll". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Ah thanks I'll try that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 I renamed all the DLL files z3taplus and Cakewalk scanned them but did not add any new plug ins and they still don't appear sadly. Thanks for the suggestion though! Fortunately I don't use it in any existing projects but would like to have a listen to it again as I recall it was pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 restore the file names From preferences run a VST Reset with "Generate Scan Log" enabled If the plug-ins do not show up in the "Sort by" layouts bundled with CbB, review the scan log for details about Z3ta+.

JoeGBradford Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Ok I have run the reset - Z3ta+ still doesn't appear in the instrument list under either synths or uncategorised instruments - I see it is mentioned several times in the scan log but not sure what I should be looking for?

scook Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Upload the log somewhere and post a link to it. I will look take a look at the log. Does z3ta+ show up in effects? If so, what are the names of the FX entries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scook Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 That's right. I was just about to post the section for z3ta+.dll. It fails too. Could try re-installing. What versions of SONAR do you have? The plug-in was not bundled with SONAR Home Studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 yeah just found that too once I remembered to use the find command! Just Home Studio - I think I tried a reinstall of Z3ta but might be worth trying again. Not the end of the world if I can't get it working Thanks for the help though - much appreciated again!

scook Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 The plug-in is not part of SHS At least according to http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Comparison.html Or is this an older version of SHS? I don't have any experience with that part of the CW product line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 I think I got Z3ta via Computer Music magazine IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
