Missing dimension pro soft synth

[mikec137]

Hi, Long time... I recently replaced my studio computer and went through the process of reinstalling sonar and downloading all my legacy items with command center. I was able to get the stand alone D-pro 64bit but not the soft synth. 

Any help is greatly appreciated

did you re-scan the plugins? i would be surprised the VST dll weren't also installed but maybe you just need the plugins refreshed.

Thr first stage of successfully installing DP as a plugin is to configure it as a standalone first - this you seem to have done

The next stage as Glenn says above is to scan your plugins, making sure the .dll is in a path that is scanned

Not meaning to grab the ops post but after months of trying every suggestion I just cannot get Dim Pro to work correctly. A few of the sounds work, 99% do not. I have given up at this point.

I couldn’t get other DAWs to scan it. But Rapture works fine and uses the same sounds.

Have you ever hit F5 to refresh the DP Browser?

I installed rapture session and rapture pro (the paid version) Neither one works for me. I have re installed many times and the only things I can think of are: 1- I use a separate sample drive and 2- I have CW content on the sample drive also. I probably should start over with CWBL install and not move anything until things work correctly. I am pretty sure it has to do with the paths between the programs, sfz's and the samples.

Yes and I also tried all the things you and others have mentioned in other threads. See my reply to John V above. and Thanks!

For clarity: from years ago and and 2 PCS ago I have a CW content folder on my sample drive.

The screenshot show the content of the folder. i don't use it but I guess i should just delete it and re install CWBL and Sonar Plat- I like having Plat installed also. 

I haven't directed anything to the sample drive as far as CW goes but maybe its happening anyway.

I know dives are huge now but I have so many LARGE samples (scarbee basses-all of them, toontrack-all of them, etc, etc, et, that I really do need (want?) the sample drive.

Where should the Cakewalk Content folder be? or should it be at all anymore?

It works better on the main C:\ drive but since you moved it, make sure all the paths to it are updated in Preferences > File > Folder Locations.

Have you tried just moving Dim pro or Rapture to the default location on C?

SLOVED... Thanks! You nailed it Bristol Jonesey. It was not in the scan path
