Use a DXI to VST wrapper and then Jbridge.

Pentagon fails to load for me when I start X2 as the default user (me), however when I run X2 as administrator it loads fine. (win8, x2 64, yeah I need to fix my footer)

I can confirm. I use the Pentagon vocoder from time to time.

Thanks for this, I can confirm that Pentagon and other 32bit Dxi will load if X2 is run as administrator in 64 bit. CW support has always maintained this is not possible. I can only assume this is a new in X2 as certainly would not work in X1 64 bit. Now going back to install Dreamstation and see if that will work if X2 is run as administrator.

Cannot get Dreamstation to install even though selected in X2 custom install. Happy to have Pentagon working though,

Just like with VSTs, you cannot simply load a 32bit plugin in a 64 bit executable environment.
The installer indicates Dreamstation is a 32bit plugin, so I never opted to install it. Made me kinda sad though coz it's a great synth. :)

If you run the 32bit X2 installer it will install under Program Files(x86).

If you get an error for Pentagon 1 64 bit X2 upon loading it you may need to reinstall it. It should work. You should run the install as an administrator too. You don't need to reinstall anything else to do this. 

Pentagon in 64 bit loads and plays for a while. However after browsing through the patches it loses audio. Can still change patches etc but no audio.

Given up on dreamstation. I don't want to have both 64 and 32 bit installations.
