digital sound factory?

Load Dim Pro into a project and click in the program load area of Dim pros GUI look to end of list if not, visible press F5 to refreah the list.

Have fun.

i'm really stuck here. the 3 programs are already in program files/cakewalk/dimension pro/programs what i can't do is get them in the list of VST plugins
thanks for your help

The DSF downloads are simply patches + samples to load up in Dimension Pro - they're not VSTs themselves.
 
So like Wookie wrote, you need to open DimPro, open its patch browser, and for good measure press F5 to referesh the list.  The DSF patches should display under an appropriate category heading.
 

i'm sorry to sound dense but it's just not happening. i see DSF in program files then i click cakewalk, then i click dim pro and there it is. i can't get it into the synth.
when i hit f5 nothing happens, it just turns on my keyboard lights 

Others have reported that DSF did not install its samples to the right folder. Note, there are actually two major folders: programs and multisamples. Assuming you have already installed Dimension Pro: First, make sure your Dim Pro is working as expected as a synth in Sonar (presets show a lot of folders with programs; load several programs to be sure they are intact). The files for the DSF programs and multisamples should appear in folders adjacent to all your other Dim Pro programs and multisamples. If they don't, probably due to DSF installation bugs, they need to be moved along side all the other Dim Pro files. After they are all in place, F5 will cause Dim Pro to rebuild the program list. So start by finding the

One other thing you may want to check: Is the DSF named folder immediately under the multisample folder, or is nested another folder deep; i.e., under a second folder of the same name?   If it's the latter, just move everything so that the DSF folder containing the data is directly under the multisamples folder.    IOW, something like this:
 
C:\Dimension Pro\Mulitsamples\DSF Name\*.prog files and samples folder
 
instead of this:
 
C:\Dimension Pro\Mulitsamples\DSF Name\DSF Name\*.prog files and samples folder
 
I think DimPro only looks one folder deep for programs.
 

I think it's time for you to slow down, take a deep breath, and we'll between us get you up running fine.

Unless anyone has any better ideas, I suggest you'll need to do a complete re-install of Sonar, Dim Pro, Rapture - all of it.
If you haven't done this before it will seem a bit scary, but it's absolutely necessary.
