Hi guys, I have been experiencing a strange phenomenon!!!

I created an VST instrument that works fine, but now that I created it's Effect version I'm getting the strangest bug!

I cant seem to have both working at the same time!!!

When I export one of the 2 the other disapears from my DAW and gets replaced by the new one.

I've tried exporting with diferent ID's and different Versions and obviouslly different names but I keep getting the same results????

Has any of you experienced anything similar by any chance?

Please help and thank you in advance!!!

strange! which DAW are you using?

I have various versions of my plugins running without trouble the same time (same ID, just renamed DLL names)

I'm using both Cubase 5 and Studio One 2.

And both have the same behaviour.

I've just tried something.

Previously I was naming my plugin instrument (xxxxxx.dll) and my effects plugin (xxxxxx_FX.dll). I've also tried xxxxxx_synth.dll and xxxxxx(FX).dll and in all scenarios were giving me the same issue. But now I've just tried to name one xxxxxx.dll and the other FX.dll and works. I've just tried FX_xxxxxx.dll and xxxxxx.dll and it works. Seems to be only hapening when the first name is the same, its strage but amendable!

Just a hunch, but it seems the _ sign is cutting off your sentence. Maybe xxxFX will work too?

Yes. That is how Cubase works. As you have solved your dilema, you may want to read this topic I made a few years ago.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
