[Solved] Sonar Platinum- only one vst-gui possible ?
Gents,
I really like the workflow of sonar platinum a lot,
specially the prv, the mixer wiew and the ad packs.
But running platinum, I can only open one gui of an fx gui aso ,
Opening another one, the one which was openend before, disappears automatically.
Did some one of you know, how to change the preferences,
so that it´s possible to open 3 or more fx gui´s at a time?
Thanks in advance!
Pragi

I believe that you may be suffering form the Recycle Plugins Window syndrome.
Press P to open preferences, under file click on VST Settings at the bottom left is a tick box "Recycle Plugins Window" un-tick that and I think your problem may well go away.
Something that was added to Platinum to reduce Plugin GUI clutter.
Hope that helps.

When opening up plugins you can toggle this behaviour by holding the ctrl key. It's great for managing the amount of screen real estate the plugin windows take up.

I also discovered that you can press the [ctrl] key while Double clicking on the second vst or dx plugin. Then it will open as many as you want. If you close all of the vst gui's then it will revert back to the Recycle mode.

Thanks, Wookie,
I tried your hind and every other constellation possible under vst preferences-
Recycle Plugins Window,
but there´s still only gui at a time opening.
Any other idea?

while it's clearly an improvement, it's weird that the new sonar has it enabled by default, causing much wtf?

there's a push-pin looking thing in the upper right corner of the open plugin... enable it and it will keep open when the next plug is opened.

The options "Recycle Plugins Window" aso have never caused problems imo, so I don´t understand were you are talking about. regards Pragi

While on the subject of this, I have also noticed that plug-in windows need to be ctrl + dragged to the multidock if you wish to dock an open window.

Confused, as before I replied I tested it and it worked as expected i.e. I inserted two plugs and both GUI's are visible. I will do another test and see what happens.

OK just tested it and it works as expected i.e. With the Recycle Plugins Window ticked only one GUI shown With the Recycle Plugins Window un-ticked two GUI's shown Though I do note the the second GUI overlays the first GUI and consequently if the first is smaller than the second it can appear hidden.

Yup, I noticed as well and just thought it was new behavior... kinda liked it after awhile because I have made changes to the wrong track more than once when I have had multiple instances of the same plug on the screen from different tracks.
Good to new I can turn this on and off though.
Thanks guys,
Jim
