Hallo again,
I'm bulding a VST which is calculating panning positions from external data. I have a single mono input for the incoming signal, a panning module and two mono outputs. I broke it down to just the panning function. In Reaper it works perfectly fine, but in cubase it seems to just effect the right channel. What did I wrong?

Hi there, I don''t think there is anything really wrong with your panner - just one of Cubase's irritating routing limitations (big reason why I switched to Reaper). Had the same problem myself before. When inserting a plugin, Cubase seems only to count the number of inputs, and simply assumes that if the input is only mono, then the output should also be mono, and puts the plugin into only one side of the stereo track (though, please bear in mind, I haven't upgraded Cubase since the original SX version, so maybe newer versions have a way around this). Adding a 'dummy' input (not routed anywhere) ought to convince Cubase that it is a stereo plugin.
Rather bizarrely, even though Steinberg invented the VST standard, their software is often the trickiest to get working properly with SM plugins.

Ok, thanx for your explanation! With this workaround everything goes well!

You're welcome - good to hear it is working now. 🙂

Really. Also nuendo 4 does that. If you use "add instrument" it becomes a stereo plugin when mono. But adding from settings "vst plugins" the mono is read ok. That's when i tried to make a mono plugin. 🙂
