I loaded all my VST synths into sonar4 and after I did I found out I lost all my dx synths. They do not appear in my dx synth rack, there is just a folder that says "dxi synth" and a folder inside that that says "vst" with all my vst synths. I had dx synths before I loaded my vst and I checked the vst folder for them (because you never know)and they weren't there either.

Has this happened to anyone else?
How do you get them back?

I uninstalled sonar and the vst adapter three different times and had no luck.

Thanks!

Install the Plugin Manager from your Sonar disk, run it, and check there to see if your DXi plugins are listed as 'Excluded'. Then un-Exclude them.

It says that everything is enabled but still nothing shows. I browsed the sonar4 forum on the cakewalk site and it seems that other people are expierencing this as well.

I wonder if I download the 4.0.1 patch it will fix this? I am always a little hesitant to try to "fix" a program when 99.9% of the program works.

I seem to remember that Windows has a limit to the number of DX plug-ins that will show simultaneously. A couple of years ago I installed Soundforge, and all the included plug-ins, then some of my earlier installed plug-ins disappeared.

This is just speculation on my part, but did you perhaps install a couple hundred VST plug-ins, or do you have a plethora of plug-ins installed?

That might be the problem. I have quite a few freeware plug-ins I've collected over the years.

I had the EXACT same problem a few weeks ago. Here's how to fix it. First in the vst-dx adapter dialog, you need to by default not enable any of the vst plug-ins. Then a few at a time re-enable them. Most likely it is a plug-in that conflicts with the adapter in an odd way that f**ks up the operation of Sonar. So first take off all the enabled VST-plugs (in the vst-dx config dialog), and then enable them a few at a time until you isolated the plug that is at fault.

If you need any additional help, feel free to email me.
