Jellybeantiger Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) I go into the Cakewalk plugin manager,see the Reason Rack plug in ,select my layout and then add the Reason Rack plugin to a folder in my layout and save my plugins layout. I reopen Cakewalk plugin manager,select my layout,and the Reason Rack plugin is gone. P.S. This happens with both the FX and Instrument versions of the plugin. Reaper has no issues at all. What gives? SOLVED P.S. I used the right pane FX and Instrument Panels instead of the plug In Manager and all is fine.

scook Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Is it possible the layout contains a mix of FX and synth plug-ins and the first plug-in in the layout is an FX? If so, the synth plug-ins will not be displayed. While the Plug-in Manager allows mixing FX and synth plug-ins in the same layout, the DAW does not.

Jellybeantiger Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 So how can I see it displayed? Reaper shows it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 By adding to or creating a layout for synths separate from FX plug-ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybeantiger Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 I added the Reason Rack to my synths folder in my plugins layout. It does not show up after reloading my layout after saving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 In the Plug-in Manager, what Plug-in Category (the column on the left) is Reason Rack in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scook Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Does it appear in the default synth "Sort by" layouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybeantiger Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 It is listed in the Enabled section. Does not appear in "sort by " layouts. It gets added ,then I save it but when opening the plugin layout,it disappears again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Is the folder containing the layouts compressed? The path to the layouts is defined in Preferences > File > Folder Locations Plug-in Layouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybeantiger Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Nothing is compressed Every other plugin works. I'll just use Reason stand alone,no biggy,just wondered why the Reason rack does not load in Cakewalk. I have Reaper also which loads in the Reason rack fine. TY for the help anyway.

scook Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 The default path is in %appdata% which is a hidden folder. To get to the default location type "%appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\Plug-in Menu Layouts" in Windows explorer path entry. If free disk space runs low, the OS may compress folders.

Jellybeantiger Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) I found it. It has to be used as an FX plugin . Silly me. TY for the help. P.S. Still UNSOLVED because I need the Instrument version of the Reason rack plugin for midi sounds. The FX plugin version version only works as FX on Audio tracks.

Jellybeantiger Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) The Cakewalk Utility Plug In Manager is broken. Does not save any layouts. I deleted my original Layout and the Reason Rack plug ins appeared again when selecting either FX or instruments in the right hand panel. May be a Windows 11 issue.
