SONAR Platinum
I recently upgraded from SONAR X3 to SONAR Platinum. The instruments listed below do not work with SONAR Platinum. Is it possible that the licensing for these products were good ONLY for SONAR X3? How do I get a version of these products that will work with SONAR Platinum?
Digital Sound Factory Sounds
Steinway Grand Piano
Yamaha Grand Piano
Hohner Clavinet
BTW - These were purchased from the Cakewalk Store.
Beyond this the product appears to be fairly solid.

Could you elaborate on "do not work" ? What exactly happens and are you getting any error messages ?
I don't think there's any reason for DSF samples to not work. At least I hope not.

They should all work in Platinum just as in X3. Have you moved the DSF folder?
When you open up X3, do they play as they should? What are you actually experiencing when trying to use them?

Hi Ray,
I suspect that when your installed Platinum and the associated soft-synth, which used those sound sets, the synth may be making reference to a different file path from where your initial (or previous) synth installation was set. Perhaps a little digging into those settings will reveal the problem. If that is the case, and the path cannot be changed in the synth's settings, you may have to copy the programs/preferences in question to the present location (with the other default soundsets are) for an easy resolution.
Hit back if you need additional help.
Kind regards,
Living Room Rocker

Also make sure that Sonar Platinum is set to run as adminstrator. It may not be the reason your synths fail to load, but having downloaded via the Command Center I overlooked this requirement and my IK Multimedia synths were greyed out :-)

I found this on Steam forum page dealing with the DS_MULTISAMPLE_NOT_FOUND error... 'Ok, I found out the problem. Basically what happened is that I had my old plugin folder and the new plugin folder linked for the plugins, it got confused because of me having two cakewalk sound centers. Works now.It was the VST Scan Folder list, just had to make sure it wasn't scanning my old copy that also had the same instrument plug-in' Hope this helps :-)

By the way, I tried running SONAR Platinum as Administrator. It did not work. Same error messages appeared.

I have another question. Under Preferences -> File -> VST Settings -> VST Scan Paths
Are the file paths searched recursively? For example; I currently have the following paths:
c:\program files (x86)\cakewalk\vstplugins
c:\program files\cakewalk\vstplugins
I'm still getting the same errors. What paths do I need to add? Do I only need to provide the root folder? Are the subfolders scanned automatically?

I think I got it. Hallelujah! One more question. Are both of the following paths required?
c:\program files (x86)\cakewalk\vstplugins
c:\program files\cakewalk\vstplugins

The x86 path is for 32 bit software, and the other is 64 bit. Sonar can run both bit-depths under most circumstance.

Not really. It depends on what is in the 32 bit path. If its basically a copy of the 64 bit path then there is no reason to keep it. On the other hand there still are some few VSTs that have not been updated to 64 bits. If you have some of these and still want to use them you will want to keep that path.

I just include any scannable folders, and use Plug-In Manager to exclude the 32-bit versions if 64-bit versions are available.

Its a bad idea to have both the x86 and x64 paths together. It will slow down the scan time since plugins will get scanned twice once for 32 and once for 64. If its X64 you only need the 64 bit path. Any 32 bit plugins that you wish to use for both 32 bit and 64 bit should be moved into a specific folder and you can add just that folder to the scan path. SONAR automatically shows the preferred bit depth when a conflict exists but some plugins have a different name for 32 and 64 and you will end up with two names in the menus which is confusing.
