hello
 
I've recently upgraded from X3 to platinum
I'm having trouble with a few old software instruments like beatscape
I just get this horrendous noise playing back on top of the sample noise
 
worked fine in X3
anybody experiencing the same??

does the Beatscape .dll file exist in your Plugins folder? if not, you will have to reinstall an older version of Sonar in order to get Beatscape to reinstall, because it does not come with Platinum (or X3, if i remember correctly)

Thanks for replying

My beatscape library is ok
I am running version 1.02
The vst Sits in x(86) cakewalk vstpugins library
Where it is accessed by sonar x3 and works fine
Platinum pulls it off the same library and
Acts as mentioned before

Thanks

Try disabling the "64bit Double Precision Engine" in Preference > Audio > Driver Settings. This is an issue for some other synths ATM. This should be corrected in the next update.

thanks scook
disabling the 64bit flag worked
 
I think I'd altered most of the settings in preferences apart from that one
 
it also worked for izotopes idrum which was exhibiting the same problem
 
thanks again

I forgot all about Beatscape. I just installed it from Sonar 8. I forgot how cool it is. Thanks for reminding me about it. 

Its one of cakes underrated plugs

Great for adding a bit of variation to a track

 It is no longer recognized in Sonar Platinum on plugin scans.  Same with recent 32 bit Reaper, Cantabile.
I added it to the plugin scan list to get it to work.

Big time!  I would have to open 16 versions of OctoRex in Reason. My Beatscape library is quite huge. Now all I need to do is create something with it.  I hope the developers revisit Beatscape in the future.  Interesting that Cyclone has been in Sonar for a long time and this is also underrated.

...and let's not forget the z3ta+ classic version. How many people know it has an envelope follower in it? I've been using the arpeggiator in the LFO section to chop up external audio and do all other kinds of cool EDMish things...not to mention how great the Sonitus plugs are. There's a lot of "old stuff" in SONAR that is truly wonderful, but it's ignored because either it's a) old and/or b) Cakewalk hasn't lavished any love on it lately.
