[Solved] No Tape Emulator on my Pro channel Sonar x3

I have Sonar x3.  I just watched an instructional video on how to use it, and I discovered that I do not have the Tape Emulator.
 
What I'm I missing?
 
Thanks

The ProChannel is more of a Platinum feature, it has 11 modules whereas SONAR Professional has 4 modules, Platinum includes the modules in Professional along with the Tape Emulator, Console Emulator, Breverb Sonar, Tube Saturation, PC4K, and PC76 compresosor. Also, the Platinum QuadCurve EQ has a flyout spectrum analyzer function.

According to the online help, the Tape Emulator PC module is part of X3 Producer

Hi. Did this happen recently, or has it been like this the whole time? Have you tried to do a vst reset and rescan? Preferences (P), File, VST Settings.

This is the first time I really started using the Pro Channel.  I have messed a little with it before, but now that I am getting into more mixing, I see that the Pro Channel is a huge asset and I am trying to learn how to use it.  I don't know how to reset the VST and rescan, but I will try to figure it out.  Also, I am going to look into some older projects to see if the tape emulator is present or not.
 
I have attached a picture to show what the Pro Channel looks like, via a dropbox link.  I am not sure that this the correct way to attach a picture as I don't see it in the post. Therefore, here is the actual link here.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/kb3lc4wbx5vikjt/Pro%20Channel%20Problem.jpg?dl=0  If not, please let me know and I will follow instructions.
 
Thanks for the input.

There are several ProChannel modules which are included that have not been mentioned. Are you reporting what you see in the current ProChannel strip or the modules available when trying to insert a module into the strip?

Perhaps one scan is reporting just VST's and the other is including DirectX plugs.

I have a lot of learning to do...I need to find a good source for all of this, any suggestions.

 
When I run into something problematic, I check out the documentation and/or do a google search on the site. Either way is much faster than posting in the forum - particularly because if it's pilot error, peoples' suggestions will often lead you astray because they'll assume you need a technical solution. There are also references like the Garrigus books, my SONAR columns in Sound on Sound, and the like.
 
The good news is that after a while, things fall into place and you can be very productive. The bad news is you can always learn more...not unlike playing a musical instrument. After doing recording for over 50 years (I got an early start, haha), I know just enough to get by...but when I don't, there's always the forums

I definitely have a lot of pilot error with software.  I engineered for many years on an analogue console.  I am amazed at what you can do with this software.  I will take you advice and check out the docs, and google search.  It's great to know that the forums are there too.
