I don't have that sfz in my DP installation. Could it be a third-party add-on? I used to have a bunch of aftermarket DP stuff that I've since lost.
 
I do, however have files named "zeta add 8.flac" and "saw 8080.flac". How about copy-and-pasting the sfz file here?

I never did any 3rd party add-ons. Everything I have is what was loaded with DimPro. Also, it looks like it doesn't use an sfz. It's just a .prog file with associated wav files.
 
As I'm digging further I'm finding that since the reinstall, DimPro is unable to find any of the associated files, both wav and sfz. Another program, M1 Organ, is looking for organ 14.sfz. A search shows that it is indeed in my F:\Dimension Pro\multisamples directory. I don't know why it's not finding it.

When I load '11 Dimension' it shows E1 with zeta add 8.flac loaded, and E2 and E3 with saw 8080.flac loaded, both those flac's are in the respective multisamples folder. (Dimension Pro\Multisamples\00 - Wavetables)
 
Everything works fine.

Looks like I'll be of no further help, sorry. Dim Pro hasn't been usable here in ages; I can't run it. I have all the files, though, but found nothing named "M1 Organ*".
 
Closest filename match I could find was "M1Tank Cannon Fire.aif" in the Rapture multisamples. :)

M1 Organ works fine here, it loads up organ 14.sfz in E1 and sine.flac in E2 which are present in the same folder I mentioned above. What happens, in the case of M1 Organ if you reload organ 14.sfz in E1 and sine.flac in E2? does that alter things?

 I find it on my C drive under Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Cakewalk Sound Center\Modules\Multisamples\Dimension Pro\00 - Wavetables.

CSC is a 32bit DPro and Rapture Player using an sfz engine that does not play flac files. The plug-in has its own multisample folder containing parts of the DPro and Rapture sample content. The folder may be moved but since it is an old sfz engine, CSC cannot use the current DPro multisamples as replacements.

Is there another registry entry I need to edit? I'm wondering what the simplest solution is. I would like to get them all in one place if possible.

The simplest way is creating directory junctions. This avoids messing with the registry. But given the registry edit solution was already performed. It should work if correctly done.

1) What is the path in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\dp? Please copy and paste the data from your registryt in your reply or post an image of it.
 
2) Are both 32bit and 64bit versions of the DPro VST installed?
 
3) Is a DX version of DPro installed?
 
4) When opening an Element what path shows up in the "Load Multisample" dialog?
 
5) Are flac files listed as a valid type in the "Load Multisample" dialog? The file type dialog is in the bottom right just above the Open and Cancel buttons.
 
6) Will DPro load a flac in an Element from the "Load Multisample" dialog? Preferably one from the current location of the Multisamples folder on F:.

Thanks for the response, Steve. See my answers below:

The Contents folder is: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro
The Multisamples Folder is: F:\Dimension Pro\multisamples
 
2) Are both 32bit and 64bit versions of the DPro VST installed?
 No, only the 64bit
 
3) Is a DX version of DPro installed?
 I don't see one in the Plugin Manager
 
4) When opening an Element what path shows up in the "Load Multisample" dialog?
It just opens with the search results from the last file I searched for.
 
5) Are flac files listed as a valid type in the "Load Multisample" dialog? The file type dialog is in the bottom right just above the Open and Cancel buttons.
Yes.
 
6) Will DPro load a flac in an Element from the "Load Multisample" dialog? Preferably one from the current location of the Multisamples folder on F:.
Yes, when the program said it couldn't find a particular .wav file, I loaded the corresponding .flac and it accepted it and worked fine.




In the meantime, I am able to replace the "missing" wav files with flac files from the F:\Dimension Pro\multisamples directory then saving the program. Tedious, yes, but it works.
