Tracktion Software

I've installed Abyss to the VST3 system folder [C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3] that is registered to the Waveform plugin location setting yet the Synth is not appearing in the application.

I've also reinstalled it from the download manager a couple of time to make sure it is installed correctly. It is recognized by Cubase 12 and loads properly.

I bought the Waveform 12 + Studio Content Bundle and am looking forward to discovering this new version. I last used Tracktion [T2] when it was with Mackie.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Carey

Here it is in DP.

Just to rule out , did you add the path for the VST in Waveform settings( I'm unsure if this a common VST path as I don't use Windows OS ) and also rescan for VST3 ?

EDIT// I didn't read your OP correctly, so you already have the path set, that just leaves the option you might have missed to rescan for VST3.

Thank you for your reply. In windows the vst3 path C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 is registered to the OS as the defacto location so vst3 plugins are automatically installed there. Installers generally don't even provide a custom vst3 installation location.

Here is the path in Traction.

Here is the Abyss plugin in the vst3 folder location.

I ran the validation tool on Abyss.vst3 and it appears the validation has failed.

Thanks again for your help.

I did a manual rescan of vst3 plugins and now its recognized by Tracktion.

Do all new vst plugin installations require a manual rescan in Tracktion?

Thanks,

Carey

Yes.

Depending on how you have it configured, it may detect when new ones are added and prompt you to do the scan - at least it does that for me on my Mac.

Windows too - as long as the VST folder(s) are in the "scan list" and "automatically check for new plugins" selected on the plugins page.

It's always safest to rescan, just to eliminate conflicts between VST2 and VST3 versions, updated plugins, etc.
