Hi,
 
i have installed the Version X3b 64bit under Windows7 64. I own the Arturia Bundle "V-Collection3" , which some plugins are in the VST3 format (AnalogLab, Spark). I installed them as VST3 (in the same common folder than all of my other VST3 Plugins) but if X3 starts the first time after installing, the Arturia VST3 - plug-ins where scanned but they are not visible in the Browser after that first contact. Even then, when I fully put back all plug-ins an rescan the folders. Summary: No VST3 plug-in from Arturia works at the moment.
 
The next problem:
The u-he plug-ins DIVA, ACE and Podolski got out of tune to +2 semitones, after I pressed the start button in Sonar X3. Again: This problem exists only for the VST3 - versions. Interestingly u-he ZEBRA2 in the VST3 format works fine and does not have these problems. 
 
 
The same behavior (with arturia and u-he) was already under X3a and does not seem solved in X3b.
 
 
Best regards from switzerland - and sorry for my bad english :-)

Are you using 64bit Arturia plugins or 32bit Arturia plugins?

Related somewhat: trouble with VST3 RND Portico and VST3 SSL
 
Cannot open VST3 versions of the Steinberg Portico plugs- they crash Sonar.
Can open VST3 SSLs but they do not process audio
 
I feel that I could open the Porticos in X3a but maybe I was opening the VST2 versions instead. 

Thanks we'll start a dialog with the developers and try and resolve these issues.
 

I am glad I am holding on on Arturia. So you saying- you can see them being scanned but they are not on the list? Can you see them when you do Insert/SoftSynth/VST3?
 
I got some Steinberg plug ins to install- well update. I have 1 VST3 pluging showing up- Novation V-Station. Before Sonar X3, it was crashing Sonar and disappearing from the list- I had to continuously re-install it. Then I realized- it was happening only in one project.

Hello Dan,
 
I use only the 64bit Version for all of my VST`s. Including Arturia. I can`t see them in the list when I will insert a new VST / VST3 instrument. Only the u-he VST3 plugins are there. But all of my vst3 plugins are installed in the same folder.
 
Best regards.

We've shot an email to Arturia about getting some stuff to test from them. I will keep you updated with the news.  PM me if you find out more about this subject and I'm not online.
thanks!

Update:
The Steinberg RND Portico issue has been resolved on our end. It was actually a bug in the VST3.5 SDK (confirmed by Steinberg) that could lead to this crash. I managed to work around the bug.
 
The Arturia issue is a crash in the plugin and details have been passed on to Arturia. The interesting thing here is that the new silent scan was swallowing the error so you wouldnt see it. I've addressed that part on our end. Now if a plugin fails you will get a notification and a dialog allowing you to skip or keep the plugin.
Tip: You can actually get the Arturia plugin to work but it requires editing the registry and clearing the isBad flag for the plugin. I recommend waiting for a fix if you don't want to mess with your registry.

@fmo -
I've noticed the vst3s for podolski and tyrell going out of tune -2 semitones in direct comparisons to plugin operation in cubase and studio one, where they remain in tune.  have you tried other hosts with these plugs?  if you could shoot me the names of a couple of patches you were using that showed +2 semitone detuning i'd like to try them out.  

Well, not much have happend here, still issues with VST 3 version of Arturias V Collection (SEM V, Wurlitz V, Analog Lab)....
