CW only allowing a single ToonTrack plugin instrument window at one time

[SloHand Solo]

For all other plugins, I can open several at the same time, but with ToonTrack, CW is only allowing one TT window at a time.  I'm using EZBass and Superior Drummer 3.  If I have the SD3 window open, then open the EZBass VST, it replaces the SD3 window, and visa-versa.  It is such a hinderance switching back and forth between them!  I contacted ToonTrack and they said that windows are controlled by the DAW.

 

I think a very useful tool would be a multi-window/tabs for VSTs.

Have you tried to "pin" the window? Or tried the "recycle plugin windows" settings?

That fixed it.  Had to unpin the windows turn on recycle plugin window, then pin them again, and it worked.  

Thx!

I tested this again and can have Ezkey, Ezkeys 2, EzDrummer 2 and EzDrummer 3 windows all open at the same time by pinning them. I also opened Mellotoon and Cinematic in two different instances and both can be pinned.

So as stated above you might have the "Recycle Plug-In Windows" enabled in Preferences>VST Settings.General>Recycle Plug-in WIndows. If so, Cakewalk will close any new VST windows unless you "Pin" it by clicking the push-pin icon on the top right of the window.
