Patrick Kakos Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I installed latest version of cakewalk and lost the SI-piano, drums and guitar and bass. anyone else have this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 It is unlikely the update affected those plug-ins as they are a separate installer. By default those plug-ins are installed in separate folders starting with "SI-" under "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins" Do the folders exist and if so, there should be a dll in each folder? How did you determine the plug-ins were gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Kakos Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 After the install they were nolonger available, and a search for the istruments had no results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Search in the plug-in browser, search on the hard drive or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Kakos Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 yes did that, i found the dll files and folders, directed a search in the preferences dialog and rescaned for vst's and shut down and restarted but still cakewalk cant find them. i have two other computers with previous install (not the latest version) and they work just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Kakos Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 i think they were disabled and i beleive ther are selling them ($$) instead of the free version im used to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The Studio Instruments are bundled with CbB. No software is sold by BandLab, it is all free. Is this a new install of CbB or an upgrade from a previous version? Are there any old Cakewalk DAWs installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might help to post an image of your VST preferences page. If you cannot do that at least list your scan path and scan options settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dewitt Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I can't find any instruments I haven't used cakewalk in years and was happy to see this free version but if it doesn't comes with drums and other instruments for free then I'm back to saving up for a drum machine. Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Kakos Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 It does come with drums, I found them I needed to reinstall addons after updating cakewalk, you'll find them on the bad lab assistant at bottom right corner dropdown arrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Halladay Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Just noticed this happened to me as well. The SI resources folders are still in the application folder, but the DLLs seem to be gone from everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
