No XTC synths or FX after install

ACIDkNiGhT · Post by **ACIDkNiGhT** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 10:59 am

On freshly intstalled windows XP I installed
SCOPE platform. The problem is that I can't
load synths or the FX in XTC mode. They are
not in Vstplugins XTC dir.
Now, that is strange, because haf an hour
ago I pulled cards out of my old comp and
installed SCOPE from the same CD I used in
the old comp. Everything worked fine before!
Please help me here!

Secon question Bp
Does Sonar have FULL latency compensation
like Cubase?
I want to leave Cubase enviroment. Orion is
excellent, but no latency compensation.

SCOPE 4.0
Pulsar XTC
Luna
P4 3,1 Gh
MB ASUS
512 GB RAM
150 mb HD

during installtion did you pick the VST plugins to install XTC in???

did you run your VST adapter in order for these devices to shown as DXI Synth??

Thanx for the quick reply!
I checked in my Vstplugins folder. All the
DLL files are there. Cubase just can't see
them. They do not appear in the VST
instruments panel or when I try to add FX.
Maybe something with oxe files?
Any idea?

In Cubase ....go to plugin information and select all the creamware devices/effects and hit update

I can't select plugins (how?), just update
all plugins. It never comes to an end. The
little windows of each plugin pop up. Even
some keys have to be entered. It never fully
finishes the job. Cubase crashes to plain
desktop.

ok. So I tried refreshing in Orion.

Lotsa problems appear. "Luna cannot be used in XTC accelertor mode" message appears after each XTC plugin. In the end it does
finish and I can see the plugins in Orion
only.But Orion is not Creamware compatibile,
so no use.
Is there anything else I can try?

That is the first thing I did when the
problem appeared. To no avail.

"Luna cannot be used in XTC accelertor mode" is documented, and is normal for 1st generation cards. It means your card has no ULLI, so don't worry

Ok. I solved the first part of the problem!
It was a faulty VST plugin. Z3ta FX. It is
the last plugin that Cubase tried to update,
so I thought SCOPE caused the crashing.
Now that I have removed it, update went ok.

Now I can see the plugins. THANX!!!

BUT... some FX even though they appear in
the plugins menu, and load ok, do not show
the GUI. No plugin appears when I want to
edit parameters, just an empty box!
All XTC instruments work fine now.

Man, for a moment I thought I was done...

"for a moment I thought I was done"

Sounds familiar, but after a couple of months of such moments I started to play w modular and forgot about XTC - maybe untill there's some hybrid version some day...

I have seen a post about this problem
somewhere, but I can't remember where.
It may have been something about 3rd party
plugins working under XTC and not showing
GUI...

I like XTC mode. I work with soft sequencer
and I hate switching apps back and forth.
That is also the reason why I am
leaving Cubase... too many windows,
cluttered and terribly slow. Ideas need to
be written down fast or they are gone.
