So effectively I've thrown away 100 quid on a plugin I can't use unless I upgrade my Cubase. Which I do not want to do. And they won't give me a refund even though I haven't been able to register (or run) the plugin.

This will be the last time I consider buying anything from Roland, as I've bought hundreds of audio plugins and never had an issue like this. I feel duped, to be honest.
Are you sure it is not an install error, I have it working with Cubase 7(not 7.5), it is a VST3 plugin btw...or do you know for a fact it doesn't work - just suprised at that it could fail with one earlier version than mine...

Is it not working or not showing?
It is showing in Cubase, but when I click it to instantiate it, Cubase crashes. This is something I've *never* seen before in my life of a Plugins Muggins.
Not exactly sure what you mean by 'instantiate', do you mean 'initiate'? i.e. you click on the 'keys' logo to bring up up VST UI? If you could explain more a little it may help, anyway, (In preferences)Try setting up Cubase so it auto asigns a plugin when selected from VSTinstruments to it's own midi channel and UI automatically shows, this may work - I had this crashing problem once with another VSTEditor(A non VST3 mind) and it was the solution - been using that method ever since...however....

As the other guy said, does 6.5 support VST 3.6 plugins, I'd look further into that, as I am only using Cubase 7 with no such problems...this may be the possible cause.

However if it were myself, I'd probably bite the bullet and uprgade - though I hope you can get it working before that, good luck....Cubase 7.X(not 7.5 user)...

Opened the activator and it said my licenses had expired. Had to go through the whole activation process again. Only took a few minutes and it all worked out okay but it's still annoying.
I had this last weekend with the SH-101. sound dropping out to a lower volume - I thought it was a bug, only to find the trial had expired???? Yet I had activated it already a couple of months back...

@ Sendy,

I would also suggest to download the Cubase 7.5 month long demo to see if it works with that version on your PC...

Since when Roland started to support Yamaha? Parallel universe? :lol:

To instantiate is to create a new instance, a new "specimen", meaning to create a new copy in a new track of the DAW for example.

When you use five copies of the synth "XYZ" in your song, you have instantiated it five times, each one in a different track of your DAW.
:D

Just a bump/update to say that after a bit of emailing Roland seem to have agreed to refund me.

Good news, that was good of Roland.

Hopefully they will update the software at some stage. The GUI could do with improvement... think Korg Legacy Collection.

Indeed. And I still don't understand why the compatibility issues are so arbitrary. They need to fix that. Then I can re-buy it :)

What's wrong with the GUI? I think it's fine.

I actually meant that the KLC has a great design with the easy to use edit screen.

The source selectors are a bit small and the text is hard to read with the SH-2. Also when you select a patch it locks the rest of the screen out until it's deselected.

But I can live with all of these niggles as it sounds so good :)
