Has anyone had probs installing Tyrell N6 (x64) on Reaper 4.01/x64?

Hi Ursula and family,

Been trying to install Tyrell N6 onto Reaper. No luck...
Followed the readme file to a tee, but to no avail - am I missing out on something here?

Thanks for your kind attention.

For the record, this is what followed after trying to download both the normal and x64 versions...

That's most-likely the Windows 7 permissions problem, you can read about it (and a fix) here: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=306890

I followed the Zebra 2 installation manual, which describes the same contents found within the thread you suggested. However, it was all in vain - x64 version just wouldn't appear, and the x86 version starts spewing out the prompts I posted + the GUI doesn't appear at all, leaving me with just the init patch.

As you might know, Tyrell doesn't install in the same manner as Zebra 2 does. I tried keeping the .data folders well away from the plugins directory, but no success either. The .zip file wasn't corrupted, FYI...

Pity.

Well, if you follow the instructions in bmrzycki's post closely then TyrellN6 just works.

Or simply start Reaper as an administrator. Often works too.

Why are you installing the data folders into C:\Program Files (x86)\REAPER (x64)\Docs ? You should be placing Tyrell into your VSTPlugins folder.

Here's how I install Tyrell.

1. Download http://www.u-he.com/TyrellN6/downloads/TyrellN6Win.zip

2. From the .zip file copy TyrellN6(x64).dll into your plugins folder. For this example I'll assume that directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugins. This will create file C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugins\TyrellN6(x64).dll

3. Open "Documents" (Libraries -> Documents) and create a folder named "u-he".

4. Copy the folder "TyrellN6.data" (and all its files/subfolders) into Libraries -> Documents -> u-he.

5. Open Libraries -> Documents -> u-he in the file explorer. Right-click the TyrellN6.data folder and select "Create Shortcut". This will create the shortcut "TyrellN6.data - Shortcut" in the same folder as TyrellN6.data.

6. Rename "TyrellN6.data - Shortcut" to "TyrellN6.data" by right-clicking the file and choosing Rename (don't worry, it won't overwrite the folder of the same name). At this point you should have the following folder structure:


7. Now drag (file move) the TyrellN6.data shortcut (the one with the small arrow on the folder icon) into C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugins\. It should be at the same location as TyrellN6(x64).dll. If you did it right it should look like this:

8. Double click to open the newly-moved TyrellN6.data shortcut and verify you see the sub-folders "Data" and "Presets". If you do, then you're done. Run Reaper now. If you didn't, re-read these instructions carefully and see what you did differently.

This is how I install Tyrell and it works perfectly for me.

Done! Still getting used to Reaper 4...

I thought that it would be OK if I installed the .dll and the data folder in C:\Program Files\REAPER (x64)\Plugins. When that didn't happen, I created a new folder for the 3rd. party VSTi's, followed by Reaper Preferences/Plug-ins/VST, added the new folder in the plug-in paths, then rescanned...works perfectly now!

Thanks for the help people!

EDIT: Solved! I had overlooked the folder path. Cubase suggested Program files bla bla...when in my OS it has a different name. Everything's working. I am looking forward to check Tyrell out.

Thanks u-he for making it free!
