When I open the MUX5 I see the basic synth with a little frontend gui.
So far all is okay. But when I change to the MUSynth the size of the frontend gui does not change to a big gui that contains all knobs of the synth.
It remains a little gui and the frontend panel is cut off.
That happens not only with the MUSynth but also with the other devices
and also the instrument patches.
The problem seems to be that the VST frontend gui is not able to change
the size to a size that is needed. It remains the size of the basic synth.
How can I solve the problem?

I use Cubase 6.5.1 on Windows XP SP3.

Are you using Cubase? If yes: This is a known issue in Cubase. Please email Steinberg and request to fix that.

Hi Jo,
I just found a workaround to solve my problem.
I let the MUX VST run with jbridger with the jbridge dll in the MUx folder.
When I now open for example the MUSynth at first I have the same cut off frontend panel. I close the VST window of the jbridger and then I open it again. Now I can see the complete frontend gui of the MUX.

I have made now only a few test. But I hope that it could be a stable workaround.
What do you think is it a good workaround?

Sorry i forgot to give you some workarounds. These are the two workarounds i know:

Close the editor and reopen it. (you don't need jBridge for this!)
Cubase editor menu (top-right of editor in C6)-> "Switch To Generic Editor" + "Switch To Plugin Editor"

(Added these 2 workarounds to the MU docs)

It's weird that Steinberg doesn't fix this as there are other plugs too that suffer from that issue. I've emailed them again to ask for more info, eventually i can add a special 'Cubase patch'.

I just tested your workaround.
Yes, it also works without the jbridge now.

But a special Cubase patch would be great.

By the way, MUX5 has some fantastic church organs.
I just finíshed my first track with MUX5 as church organ at the beginning:

Hey

I get PanelSurface.png is missing but pressing "ignore" loads the plug and the gui is distorted ? (side etc.)

Why is that ? (cubase)

Which preset is that?

Upon loading the plugin

Did you start from a fresh install? Which MUX version are you using? Which platform: 32 bit or 64 bit? Which host?

Tp3 · Post by **Tp3** » Fri Oct 04, 2013 12:51 pm

Cubase 6/7

32 bit

version 5.2.6 (latest IIRC)

I followed the update pattern I always follow (backup files/overwrite etc.)

Please do a full reinstall of the latest MUX 5.2.16 from http://www.mutools.com/mux-downloads.html

After having done that, to preserve your user settings follow the instructions on http://www.mutools.com/info/docs/mux/installation.html

Does such fresh installation work fine?
