Stutter Editor by iZotope

Happy New Year guys
Hey anyone ever had this kind of issue? I got a copy of BreakTweak and Stutter editor from iZotope.  They had a fantastic sale and the two items came bundled.   Stutter however has me pulling my hair out.  
It's supposed to work like this.  You go to the plug ins properties and make sure "configure as a synth" is checked. Did that.
You now insert into an audio like a normal plug in.   So far so good.
You now insert an empty midi track and on its Output drop down list you should see Stutter.    Im not.
I have one or two synths plus Session Drummer on this project and they are all visible in the drop down list.
Stutter open fine when i click on it just like any plug in would.
On the midi track, when i hit my keyboard i can see the meter going up and down so the input (which is set to OMNI) appears to be ok.      But the midi track is not triggering the Stutter plug in on the audio track.   I've hear of people having these kinds of issues with vocoders etc where the audio track needs to be triggered by a midi track.   
Im using Sonar X3 and Ive also tried this on Bandlab and neither are working.   Both are showing the same symtoms in that the mid output list is not showing Stutter.    Im not sure if iZotope can help but Ive mailed them anyway.  Im thinking this is a Sonar problem and not theirs.    Any ideas at all guys?   Many thanks. 

X3 may be different (don't remember how it worked and don't really care) but in SONAR Platinum/CbB you need to enable the MIDI input option after you add the FX plug to the audio track.
 

The "Configure as synth" option was necessary with X2 and older. The "Enable MIDI" options on the VST2/3 drop down were added for X3. The setup for stutter edit is the same for X3 and CbB. Once "Enable MIDI Input" is selected the plug-in will appear in MIDI track output drop downs.
 

Enable MIDI Input is not on the properties page, it is on the VST2 and VST3 drop down in the standard header above the plug-in UI just like the image in msg#3 shows. This must be set for each instance of the plug-in.

I have a similar problem with a different plugin, see my post here We can team up on this. I think the solution will help in both of our cases. I will try Stutter Edit too, I have that installed too, just has not used it yet. I guess I will have troubles like you too. Will post my experience later when I come home.

IIRC, the manual for Stutter Edit also has a walk through on its use in various DAWs (SONAR is included) in the appendices. Pretty much the content of this thread.
 
Regarding the other plugin mentioned above, I would assume the steps should be similar; but when I saw use of a Simple Instrument Track it made me realize that I have never tried to use it in this fashion, and I am not sure if that would truly affect a plugin or not. I have always used these on audio tracks (not synth outputs), using the MIDI input as noted above. Once you bring another MIDI feed into the mix, you may very well need another controller, or to use the plugin in iterative steps.

It worked for me and Finger too. Thanks guys.
