I installed a couple of new Pro channel modules, however X2 wouldn't see them.
It turns out the Pro channels won't register in X2 unless VST scanning is enabled under preferences.
 
Since when does a Pro Channel module become a VST plugin :-). Guess cake needs to label this properly under preferences - I shall report a bug...!
 
One of those things when it's easy when you've jumped over the hoop... I post here in case somebody has the same issue one day.

Pro Channel modules are VST plugins.

They just made it so they only work in the PC.

There is no need to autoscan VSTs to have the ProChannel stuff show up. I have had autoscan turned off since installing X2 and have successfully installed several PC modules since. Of course, you do have to manually run the scan to have them show up. The Plugin Manager silently adds the VSTInternalPath to the list of folders to scan.

They've made it so it only works in Sonar (Pro channel modules don't work in Pro Tools for PC does it?), and these plugins must have different hook in points within the software that VSt's don't use.
 
If what you wrote was true I'd be able to get the Pro channel PC4K modules to work within the FX bin, and more to the point I'd be able to get a VST plugin to behave like a Pro channel module would I not?

No need for a bug report http://www.cakewalk.com/S...reader.aspx/2007013265 (might want to change the subject line)

I'm afraid they are still labeling Pro Channel modules as VST's.... still a bug then. They just need to change the labels under the VST settings to make it clearer, functionality will be the same afterwards.

As Bub mention, they are using VST2.4 modified to run exclusively in the Prochannel. Again, the issue you experienced is already addressed in the knowledge base. Call it a bug if it makes you happy.

I call it a trivial bug with a documented workaround :). Change the terminology and behavior slightly, and this is what you get. Cheers... :).

How generous of you.

Sorry my generosity is not documented. I suggest you log the issue with Cakewalk. Maybe they will provide a workaround.
