Mr. Desperate, have you confirmed that the specific .rx2 files that the error message references are actually present and correct in the appropriate folder? Bear in mind that unless you have performed the merging of folders (together with the registry hacks) any sample required by any prog for Dim Pro must be in the folder corresponding to Dim Pro, any sample required for any prog for Dim LE must be in its corresponding folder, and any required for both must be in each folder.

The RX2 files are on the E: drive in my specified folder along with all the Other Multisamples. NO Registry editing has been done, straightforward install with a Content Directory on a fast RAID drive. If I had screwed up then all the Samples would be missing, they are all there and they all load fine except those two categories.

I wasn't suggesting that you had screwed up - only looking for clues. Sorry if I caused offence. I'm running out of thoughts now, but here are two -

Take a look and confirm that the exact folder "address" is \Multisamples\72 - REX Drum Loops\Drum n Bass Breaks because I presume that the .progs in question have that coded into them. This is where mine are , and they load without issue into the 214 version of Dim Pro.

Do you have the same problem with Dim Pro running under the microhost?

Edit - Oh, and a third thought. Having got the error, what happens if you click on the Multisample window to invoke the Load Multisample dialogue? Can you force it to load the right multisample, or do you get another error?

No Offence taken, normally I might have screwed up, but not this time, I even re-loaded Dim Pro again just to make certain. At the Moment every DXi or VSTi I load is dead, No Audio so I can't even test it. Somedays Cubase looks so enticing, everything works there. Anyway back to the Point when I can figure out why Sonars softsynths are all dead I Was going to test the Bank before Grooves and the Bank afterwards. Although I cant hear them I can see the samples have been loaded. Needless to say I Haven't heard a Peep out of Cakewalk since I reported it.

I think that this thread is for cleverer people than me, however...

I moved the contents of my expansion packs to rationalise the instruments with a view to having, for example, all the electric pianos in one folder. There is a file called programs.lst which I renamed and Dim Pro then created a new programs.lst to log which files were in which location.

Is this relevant? Is it helpful? I've no idea but good luck,

Laurence

Thanks for the Suggestion, I'll try it now, but it wont help Coz Sonars ability to Play Softsynths has given up the Ghost. GRRH

Hi Laurence, It didn't help. Dim Pro did rebuild the .lst file which took a while. Thanks for the suggestion though

I'm sorry to hear that - it was probably a long shot. The multisample in your first post is located in the following directory for me: D:\Dimension Pro\Multisamples\72 - REX Drum Loops\Drum n Bass Breaks. I'm not sure if that's useful info either, but if you're exploring your directory tree you might find it a possible basis for comparison.

Continuing good luck,

Laurence

Dan,
I seem to remember there was some conflict with an older version of some DLL from another application relating to REX files. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the DLL (might be a REASON dll). From what I understand, there is an update to it - or one can delete it so that Sonar only uses it's own relative DLL.

Doing a search of the forums may help (though I know there are many complaints about the search function).

But others have had this same problem and resolved it, so a search may still help.

Good luck.

I remember Reading about it as well. I Thought it only applied to Drop Zone, maybe I'm wrong. It would be nice if Tech Support would respond to my email though. I Will try and find the post. I Just had a look and the only RX2 files are the ones in The Two Grooves sub-directories so maybe you are on to something there. Thanks Billy
