Whilst waiting for the arrival of X2 I jumped in and purchased the TH2 upgrade. Playing it in stand alone mode is great and I must say this has an amazing sound. I already own several amp sims, including POD Farm 2, Git'Rig 5, and more and this one has that extra something the others lack.
However I have a small issue when it comes to using it as a plug in in x1d Producer. Alsthough the scan picks up the dll file, TH2 does not show in any of the FX lists. I have tried to reinstall TH2, I have directed the vst scan in X1 to the files, it sees it ok but still not showing...any one have a clue?

Are you using a custom preset list or the generic "Default All Plugs"?

A custom list won't get updated unless you do it manually (and remember to save it afterwards)

I have a custom list, and the default. Not in either. Also If I go to the plug in manager, under VST FX list, all my vst plug ins show but not TH2. Also checked VST Synth and other options just incase it was assigned incorrectly as a synth.
To add to this I had previously tried the demo version and this showed up straight away, it has only happened with the full version.

After you insert an empty audio file, go into the console view and in the FX box under the effects/audio section you should see TH2 .

Thanx Mikey I'll try, I was only usng the audio chn that opened with the default template and not adding a new one, think I had an issue like that a year or so back with another VST. Although I would have though it should still show in the list of vsts available in the manager

Well I tried and still not showing up, but the scan clearly shows the dll file being seen by X1, but it is not in the vst list

Go to Windows Explorer, look in your default VST folder and see if the plugin is there. If it is there run a plugin scan. If not you can uninstall and reinstall and select the cakewalk vst as the default vst folder. or you can copy the dll for th2 into the default cakewalk folder for vst.

Chances are if it does not show up in the plug in manager then it is not in the default folder or you need to rescan the folder

Same problem here. The program doesn't ask where your VST folder is.

NOTE: I've installed the demo version.

Just for laughs, try seeing if it's listed under a VST instrument instead of FX.   I recently purchased an VST effect plugin, I spent an hour trying to find it, and when I clicked on the audio track to add the effect, I selected add VST instrument instead, and sure enough, there it was!

It's worth a try.

I installed the demo version as well and I had the same problem. I had to navigate to the TH2 folder and copy the DLL to the default cakewalk vst folder


the folder is C:/ProgramFiles/Cakewalk/Vstplugins

If your using a 32 bit version in a 64 bit OS the default is C:/ProgramFilesx86/Cakewalk/Vstplugins

If TH2 cannot be found in the folder listed above it will not show up in the audio plugin list. Go to your program folder look in overloud or TH2 folder for files ending in .dll copy and past into the above folder. Cake walk should then see it the next time Sonar is started. If not run a plugin scan.

When you install the full version that is purchased from cakewalk it will ask you to list the default plug in folder. (the demo does not do this) hit the browse button and navigate to the default folder on install.
