Anyone having any issues with finding the Monitorizer FX Chain?  I don't see it after I installed the Kingston Update SONAR Platinum.

I'm experiencing the same thing with IRIS 2. Maybe some of the optimizations were maybe TOO optimized? *shrug*

Make sure you installed the updated Anderton Collection. The plug-in should be in the browser Plugins tab Audio FX FX Chain > Anderton Collection > Processors

It updated fine (and no problems with the update itself). Just borked audio on some plugs and my sustain pedal is out of commission...which is enough problems for one day. I've rolled back to the "J" update so I can get this project done (though manually inputting the sustain pedal is going to suck).
 
In other words: one problem at a time. ;-)
 
ps: for the time that I had Kingston installed, I definitely saw the improved speed...but it's not worth the cost of a reliably functioning DAW.

Maybe I'm in a mood but it's frustrating when people appear out of no where, with zero other posts, DON'T POST THEIR SYSTEM SPECS in their sig like we repeatedly encourage, and use vague language like "Just borked audio on some plugs" OY! Wastes good peoples time...
 
FWIW, I've had Iris2 for awhile but hadn't gotten round to installing it.  I just did, to check the crashing issue you posted about elsewhere.  First, I rolled back to "J" land, then installed Iris2 and all the additional content, added Iris2 to a song I'm working with, which has over 100 tracks of audio, synths, kontakt/falcon/omnisphere2 tracks, lot of Albion One... a song already beginning to stress my pretty robust system.   
 
I verified Iris worked fine...at least the vst3 version...I use vst3 whereever possible, and also wanted to test the bakers new vst3 work.   Iris itself was kinda boring but....  I saved the song, and reupdated to "K" land.  Brought up the song with the iris track... played fine.  Added another vst3 instance of iris.... recorded/played back fine...
 
Don't know if you're using vst3, but from here it works fine.
 
FWIW, if ur using vst2, try vst3.

Has anyone tried Sylenth1 with this yet? I get incredibly loud white noise in the left channel and heavily distorted playback in the right channel. I tried other VSTs, and those work fine. Very frustrating and unfortunate as I use Sylenth pretty regularly.


yip im getting it

I'll go with, "You're in a mood." Thanksgiving seems to do that to people. I also appreciate your rant; it was a nice distraction from the problems I'm having with my borked-out Cakewalk Platinum. As an aside, I saw and borrowed "Borked" from a forum host in another thread/section. Maybe it was the right diction with the wrong use. I'll get busy conjugating and get back to you.
 
System specs:
i7-2600, 32GB RAM  |  Win10 (x64)  |  GTX 670  |  MOTU Ultralite Mk3  |  Keyboard  |  Mouse  |  Monitor  |  Cup Holder  |  chip crumb recepticle  |  bowl of peanut M&M's  |  Mini York Peppermint Patties in a bowl for clients  |  Acoustic Tile  |  Wires  |  Cables  |  UPS  |  Raid Array |  Mixing Desk  |  Chairs (with AND without casters)  |  Assorted Stationary  |
 
As for the problems themselves: The only change to the system in question was Kingston. Symptoms: no sustain pedal on any instrument (verified it works with stand-alone plugins and two other DAWs), and IRIS2 just outputs hissing on the left channel and bit-crunched noise in the left channel.
 
Rolling back to Jamaica Plain solves the issues with noise and plugin instability (since IRIS2 has a 100% failure to load rate for me in Kingston), but the sustain pedal is still MIA. Weirdly, my Imagine-Line plugs (notably Harmor) appear more stable.
 
Mostly I'm disappointed because for me, Kingston is a mild disaster. Launching a major update before a long weekend when technical support are gone is the most frustrating part.
 
So, while one system is now "borked" (or "gimped" to use more technical parlance), I have two others to fall back on that don't exhibit the same problems. Just frustrating (and bad timing to try and get support).

What input channel do you assigned for the problematic VSTi's are you by chance using None or Omni
 
Just try setting it to a specific midi input and the channel your chosen keyboard is transmitting on, see if that helps with the sustain peddle problem.  Just a thought for you to try.

IRIS2 doesn't load under Kingston so I rolled back to JP. The sustain pedal issue is on ALL VST's in Sonar, and it's now a problem in JP too. If I use stand-alone versions on the desktop, the sustain works fine. The sustain also works in other apps and DAWs so it's not a mechanical/transmission/midi issue. *shrug*
 
Thanks for the idea. I tried a few VST's with channels set to 1, 3, 5, and 7 (because prime numbers need love too). None of them worked.
 
Probably the strangest thing is that Sonar "input/output activity monitor" on the taskbar lights up when I depress or release the foot pedal. So, the footpedal is working and Sonar's own monitor is seeing it. For some reason SONAR is ignoring it.
