PX 64 Percussion was part of the old Sonar, beginning with Sonar 8.5, and is unavailable for purchase.

Here are the plugins included with Cakewalk by BandLab: http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Plug-ins.2.html

It is simply hidden. You must enable it in plugin manager.

For more info, you can also watch Mike explaining you how to do it:

@msmcleodany particular reason that Cakewalk would have these plugins hidden? It seems odd that they are not on the official list. ?

That decision was made before I joined the team. I don't know the reasons behind it.

Here is a little history behind the  "hidden" plug-ins. 

The plug-ins that show up hidden in the plug-in manager are hidden by design.

Hiding plug-ins has been a design element at least since V-Vocal was added with SONAR 5.

The Drum Replacer is hidden for the same reason as V-Vocal. While both use standard plug-in APIs (DX for V-Vocal and VST3 for Drum Replacer) neither are regular plug-ins and cannot be used in the FX Rack or PC. They are exclusively Region FX.

The hidden VST2s started to appear in Music Creator 7 with the introduction of Style Dials. These VST2 dlls are the engines under the Style Dial UIs (specially compiled FX chains).

Later, Style Dials were added to SONAR and are part of CbB.

My guess is, it was easier to leave the plug-ins mostly intact and use them as-is in the Style Dials rather cripple the plug-ins. That said, the "hidden" VST2 plug-ins are older than the last official VST2 plug-ins included with SONAR.

While there is nothing stopping one from unhiding and using them, the practice is not supported. 

Maybe some day BandLab will officially release these plug-ins like they have done with the PC2A T-Type Leveling Amplifier ProChannel module  and Classic Creative Suite audio effects. Until that time, there are plenty of great plug-ins in the  Favorite Freeware FX Thread
