Hi,

i've send a friend 3 sm-generated .dll-files for testing purposes.

The vsti plugins contains nearly the same stuff but with minimal changes of course.

They named Test 1.dll, Test 2.dll and Test 3.dll

The friend reported that always only Test 1 is shown in the Cubase browser, the other 2 plugins are missing.

If he deletes Test 1.dll then Test 2.dll is recognized by Cubase (but Test 3.dll still missing).

Is this because of the numbers behind the plugin name?

I'm sure they all got different plugin ids (internally).

Any ideas?

Thanks, Dave

Hello, you export the three plugins with the same 4 characters ID?

strange. i´ve never had this problem, even if i sometimes export the dll WITHOUT changing the ID´s. when i make minimal changes to a plugin i do always export them to the same folder and just change the last number (like you did)

Hi.

The issue you are having is common with Cubase 4 & 5.

Cubase’s procedure in registering plug-ins is very finicky. It may be best to not use duplicate titles if they are going to be used in Cubase.

You can use numerical figures. However, test 1, test 2 and, test 3 will cause difficulty in Cubase in terms of identification.

I created a topic in regards to Cubase in which, you can read if you like.
