Cubase 8.5 / OSX not seeing all Silent Way plugins

[Richard90048]

I have been using Silent way with an ES3 and an ES6 in my modular system for over a year now. I use both cubase 8pro (8.5.15) and Live 9.

For some reason (i think since 8.5.15 but could have been earlier), Cubase is not seeing all the SW VST plugins, it see's Voice Controller and a couple of others, but LFO/Complex LFO/Quantizer etc don't show up in the VST list in Cubase (ExpertSleepers folder just has fewer VSTs in it), but if I fire up Live 9, they're there.

I have uninstalled the SW plugin, restarted, reconfirmed the folder etc. But I am still not seeing the same set of plugins on Cubase as is available on the same machine in Live 9 and its making me bonkers!

I have had a good look on the boards here and at MuffW, but doesn't seem like anyone else has the same issue, I have also looked at Cubase forums...nothing SW specific there, I followed the "refresh" instructions, just to be double sure..still nothing.

It is entirely possible I am being ultra-dumb here and missing the obvious, but would appreciate and thoughts or help!

I would imagine Cubase is filtering plug-ins according to their input/output channel count. E.g. if you have a mono track and are trying to load a stereo plug-in on it.

Thanks OS but no this is not the case.

Hey, I thought I would close this one out. Thanks much for the help OS btw. It was a routing issue on my part..and maybe a mental memory one too, but LFO/Quantizer/Step LFO only show up as "insert effects" on a Voice Controller track. It is not possible to create a net new VST plugin track with Step LFO for example. You first create a VST Voice controller track and then insert what modulation sources you want as insert FX in that track. The Cubase menus don't show plugins that require a host (Voice Controller) unless you have an active instance of the host... anyway, now I understand this is simply how it works..."by design" as it were duh!!! Now I can get back to making music! Thanks Expert Sleepers your make great technology.
