Reason Rack Plug in not showing in cakewalk instrumen rack-SOLVED

[Jellybeantiger]

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.

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]

So how can I see it displayed?

 

Reaper shows it .

 

 

[scook]

By adding to or creating a layout for synths separate from FX plug-ins.

[Jellybeantiger]

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.

 

[scook]

In the Plug-in Manager, what Plug-in Category (the column on the left) is Reason Rack in?

[Jellybeantiger]

VST3 Instruments

[scook]

Does it appear in the default synth "Sort by" layouts?

[Jellybeantiger]

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.

 

 

[scook]

Is the folder containing the layouts compressed?

The path to the layouts is defined in Preferences > File > Folder Locations Plug-in Layouts

[Jellybeantiger]

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.

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]

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.

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.
