sonar inserting wrong/random synths?!?

hello
when i click to insert one synth, another is randomly inserted instead. for example i'll go to insert minimoog and zebra will open instead......all synths are still there, just now linked to a different name. which appeasrs to be the same each time. for example every time i click minimoog-zebra will open. every time i click zebra eastwest silver will open etc....
any ideas? should i just rescan plugins? or somethign far more laborious.....cheers

sorry, im using version 7 producer. so im not able (very soon though hopefully....) to insert as simple insturument tracks........

Search isn't very accurate on here but that's come a few times so may be worth a search.

 
Hi Guys,
I've been having the exact same problem (Sonar 8.2, Win XP SP3 AMD 2.4g), and been searching around the forum for answers, but can't find anything.
Beatifictatter, did you get your answer? Any input welcome :)
thanks
Matt

How are you guys inserting the synths? Via the dropdown menu or Synth Rack? Use the Synth Rack.

I've not had the problem and I always use the drop down menu system rather than doing the extra step(s) of going through the Synth Rack. And I do use the old school separate MIDI and softsynth tracks (S8.3.1).

I've had that problem with sonar 8.3 not with 8.5.222 yet . I use the Insert drop down..I think it was a demo Vst I had , giving conflicts ..

Still happens to me occasionally in X1.

I tried the Synth Rack trick, and that seems to work fine (in Sonar 8.5.3).

That's a heck of a lot easier than rescanning all the plugins!

Tripecac


I'm getting the same behavior in 8.5.3 when I use Simple Instrument Tracks.

Has anyone found a workaround?

Yep.

Save what you're doing. Shut down Sonar and reload it.

This has been happening to me since version 6.2.1 but I THINK I only see this when adding a synth via one of my personalised lists, not the generic "default all plugins"

Seth, I never add one via the synth rack, so cannot confirm this either way.

Also, I don't think it adds a purely random synth, I seem to remember it adds either the next one or previous one in the list, which indicates [to me] it's a simple coding problem. I reckon some loop with an n + 1 or n - 1  is not running properly.

I'll try it Tripecac, in 8.5.3 & X1
