Adji. if you load an old project with effects in the in the old fxbin and sonar puts them in the PC, can you drag them back to the fx bin?

thanks

SONAR won't randomly move anything out of an FX Bin and into a ProChannel FX Chain. You'd need to do it manually/intentionally. I believe the original poster opened the demo project.  


But yes... you can drag plug-ins out of the Effects page of a ProChannel FX Chain and into an FX Bin, if you want to.  But an entire FX Chain would need to be saved as an FX Chain Preset and then loaded into a track FX Bin via right-click or by dragging from the browser.
Here's a Cakewalk Blog post that explains the feature, for those of you that are curious.

Thanks Bill. I was imagining something like the DimPro switch from dxi to Vst debacle. 

The X2 demo project "Jodi Good Where did we go" has the new Pro Channel VST chain being used as the OP noticed.

To the OP X2 allows putting a VST in the Pro Channel. 

forgive the noobish question, but where is this demo project located. can't seem to find it...

NEVER MIND. LOL. UM... INSTALL ADDITIONAL CONTENT! DUH!

Its in the the Cakewalk Projects folder.

Thanks for all the advice and links guys, much appreciated. Didn't realise this was possible.

Quick question! I tried dragging my Audiffex GK bass amp sim in to PC. I got no output and no sign of a signal to the sim. Is there something I'm missing in the signal chain? It works fine in the FX bin but no go when you drag it in to PC. This is X2 64. Could it be because the GK is a 32 bit plug? I toggled all the on buttons in the PC to make sure it was on. Anyone having any issues like this?

Yes I believe 32 bit plugins wont work in the 64 bit PC. They would still have to be bridged. 

Thanks,John! I'm wondering why does it work fine in the FX bin in 64 but not the PC. Is there something in the structure of PC that doesn't allow the bridge? Not a big issue as long as it works in the FX bin.

I can confirm that (at least some) 32-bit bridged plugins work fine in Pro Channels FX Chains. I've done this with UAD plugs and they work great. :-)
