I had these plugs working fine on my 8.5 Producer and after uninstalling Producer 3, 5 and 6, and installing X1, they are not found.  Anyone know how to get them back?  Thanks.

Sonitus:fx Reverb

These plugs are indeed present in the VST folders to which the Cakewalk plug manager points.   I have the x64 X1 installed. Could these be 32-bit plugs that aren't supported by x64 X1?

Hello Thornev.
 
You state you have X1 64 installed, so X1s start-up scan of VSTs (due to your settings) may be missing them.
 
First, find out were these VST exist on you system.  Perhaps in the 'Programs Files (x86)/Cakewalk/Vstplugins' directory or the 'Programs Files (x86)/Vstplugins' directory.  In any/either case, you need to determine the full path to directories that contain these Vsts.
 
Then...
 
From within X1, on the top menu bar, select Utilities/Cakewalk Plugin Manager - this will open a new window.
In that window note the Options button.  Click that and another window will open.  Add the paths that you discovered above to the list of paths in that window.
 
Close that window and then click Scan Vst Plugins.   If these plugins are 32 bit and usable (using Cakewalks wrapper - it is automatic)  then the plugins should show up in the Plugin Manager Window and available for use.
 
Good Luck
 
EDIT: Nevermind.  I see you already have the plugin manager pointing in the right direction.

Thanks for the response, Katherine.  I seem to remember something about registering plugs using regsrv32, but I don't know if that is applicable here and how I would go about doing it.  When I bring up a missing plug's properties, X1 shows me this long classid and I have no idea how to use that.  I don't understand why X1 can't use the plugs when the Cakewalk Plugin Manager is indeed pointing to the directories that contain the plugs.  Anyone else?  Please?

thorn, I lost my Lexicon but I figured it was because that's a DX effect and I think X1 no longer plays with DX effects?

Lexicon is there and working. My brain is not sorry for the confusion.

I don't have Timeworks Mastering EQ or BlueStereo but my Sonitus:fx Reverb is right where I'd expect it. Sorry not much help.

When you run SONAR are the plugins present in the Plugin Manager?

Thanks, Larry.  If that's true about Lexicon, I wonder what Cake says to customers whose livelihood depends on the work it does for million dollar customers and whose effects just stop working.  At the very least there should be a migration path or something.  I'm disappointed.  Anyone from Cakewalk want to chime in?   Thorne

Mike V - No, the Plugin Manager doesn't list the plugs, but the plugs reside in the directories listed on the Cakewalk Vst Scan Paths (which is displayed via the Vst Configuration Options button on the Plugin Manager dialog).  Thorne

I believe the Lexicon is one of a handful of plug-ins that doesn't work under 64-bit Sonar. Use the 32-bit version of X1 and it should be fine. That's the price for being on the leading edge. 

Edit: I checked the Lexicon in the 32-bit version and it didn't seem to be working properly either. I may try a rescan.

"When I bring up a missing plug's properties, X1 shows me this long classid... "
 
Wait a minute.   If you are able to see the CLSID in the Plugin Manager, then the Plugin is registered (Regsvr'ed).  So, it should be selectable in one of the Plug-in menu Layouts.   Is it MIA in a menu? 
 
Humm....
