PSYN and all cakewalk shared instruments are all DXi. Maybe you have some other kind of wrapper that wrapped PSYN without noticing. PSYN is definitely a DXi and the dxshell wrapped it nicely and without fuss.

Confirmed.

PSYN2 doesnt though.

Strangely, though, I had thought the version of Pentagon that ships with Sonar ran as a VSTi, but it doesnt seem to.

you are wrong in the case of Psyn - it runs as a vsti without any wrapper- however there are some problems though (concearning polyphony iirc)

Roland Groovesynth is locked to a limited number of Cakewalk hosts. It won't play in other hosts.

Thanks for this wrapper !
I will try it soon because some MFX are very specials and uniques

Was there an update to the MFX wrapper? The last time I tried, it did not work on most MFX. Please say yes!

Edit: nope

ok, for the record:
i only have to drag'n drop the dx shell onto shell2vst, and it creates a folder, within there are placed vst dll's of all my dx plugins?
does it matter where i put the shell2vst or the shells, or does it work from everywhere?
do those two shells and the shell2vst have to be at the same/a certain location?

this is absolutely amazing. I've always hated directx. I've got plugins i swear i cleared from the cache 2 years ago that still show up in my dx plug listing...

Thanks, works great. The only problem I had w/Acon, is you need the 1st plug to have stereo inputs or something, I just run the vst of acon effectchainer in it 1st, then a dx effect.

Ah, the fun of direct x plugins! This is a common problem but there are programs to get around this, for example AnalogX's DXMan, which is a Direct X plugin manager. Quote from the website:

AnalogX Website wrote:Frustrated with plugins still showing up in all your programs, even though you deleted them ages ago? Then AnalogX DXMan is for you!

Doesn't that sound just like the problem your having?

There are also some unusual audio programs on their site which you might find interesting too.

I feel really cheeky asking this, especially as you've done this for free, but is it possible to go the other way and wrap a MIDI VST inside a MIDI MFX?

I would love to be able to stick EnergyXT into an MFX slot in Sonar.
