I can load Diva's VST3 just fine, but Zebra 2 gives me an error saying that I'm trying to load an effect into a generator slot (I have checked, I am not doing so!). Can anyone verify if they get this too? Zebra 2 and FL Studio are on the latest stable build. This occurs when trying to load Zebra as an instrument.

Because Diva is a single plugin, but the Zebra VST3 plugin includes Zebra, Zebralette, Zebrify and Zrev in one single Zebra2.vst3 file.

And FL Studio doesn't seem to be able to handle this kind of VST3 very well.

However, it works over here (Windows10, FL Studio 20).
You could try to manually set Zebra to 'synth' plugin in the FL Studio plugin manager, maybe this helps.

But it might be easier to simply use the VST2 version of Zebra.

Ahhhh, I've been using quick scans for my plugins. Not using the Plugin Manager with these user determined settings. I'll give it a try later with that and see if that fixes it.

Beats me how you're getting this to work. I just tried it on my laptop as well and I still can't run it with VST3. For some random reason I can run it as an effect. That works fine, but as an instrument it just can't handle. Is that how you were running it too?

Anyone else with FL Studio 20 able to test this? I will move to debugging this with Image-Line soon if I can't resolve it. It does seem worth it to use VST2 for now but I would like to know what's going on here.

Okay, I have some news to share here.

It is necessary that you use the plugin manager, with scan and verify on to use the VST3 versions of u-he plugins that house multiple plugins in a single file (Zebra, Repro). Once you scan and verify, you will have an entry in the plugin manager for the synth and effect version of these plugins, and you can add and use them in the host as expected.

Using quick scan will not work. This is the solution here.
