The default VST path is Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST

In Cubase Plug-in manager, check what path(s) it’s using for VST:s, and check those paths for the “Superior Drummer 3.vst” file

Ok thanks.
Actually it was a Cubase Pro – Plug-In Manager thing, I didn’t understand.
One had to drag an drop the vst from one section to another in the Plug -In Manager, in order for it to show up as a Vst instrument, which was new to me.
Anyway – now it’s working!
Thanks.

Notice that if you move the VST from where the Superior Drummer 3 installer placed it, it can get troublesome to update Superior Drummer 3 – since it will try to update the VST in the original path!

Hey guys!

I’m having a similar problem and it’s driving me crazy.

Standalone works fine but Cubase isn’t showing the plugin. I’ve removed SD2 and checked and changed all of the file paths but still no joy.

Any ideas?

What version of Cubase? Is it a 64-bit version? What is the path location shown in S3 standalone?

Superior Drummer and EZDrummer place their plugin in a subfolder “toontrack”, which isn’t scanned from Cubase as default. You must add this folder manually to Cubase and rescan the VSTs for find it.

I’m running Cubase 6, 32bit version, path location is library/audio/vst

I’ve checked the path in the plugin manager but it still doesn’t appear.

S3 is 64-bit only. You will need a 64-bit host.

Hello Toontrack,

Dans Samplitude prox4, en 64 bits. Windows 10

Problème: samplitude reconnait la version installée 3.1.7 de SD3 mais ne trouve pas la DLL pour les VST ?

Par contre, il voit la DLL de l’ancienne version 3.0.3 du 8/11/2017. Samplitude me demande de réinstaller l’ancienne version ??

Question: Comment je récupère cette DLL Version: 3.1.7 ?

Merci d’avance,

gerardjacquinot@sfr.fr

Cordialement,

i fought for 2 days looking for where the pathway was at and…and no the sd3 standalone help pathway didn’t help either led me off to no where! .. finally i found it in none of the pathways that most folks said it was in c\programs\common files\VST3\Toontrack , I didn’t change anything at 1st let it go to the Vst , it wanted ,then the search was on. finally i started to put the SD3 .dll in all the vst files..and finaly ended up here.. C\program\steinberg\cubase elements 10.5 \VSTPlugins. never had any kind of issue like this with any software. hope this will help someone..GL

If you didn’t make a note of the VST install path during the installation, there is a way to find out where the plug-in was installed, in case the product comes with a standalone application: Launch the standalone, open its Help menu and choose Show Plug-In Path

John – I was fighting this for DAYS. I ended up dropping the .dll file into all of my previously routed VST path’s (probably 5 or 6) and it finally scanned and it’s working great. Thanks for the creative idea. Simple – but effective.

Ah so VST2 not “supported” although some VST3 do show up by using the VST2 Search Box at the bottom. How sly to try hide our Plugins and not perform even a thorough search on it’s own for the full Drive!
So far I am feeling a lack of open friendliness and have seen a blog on a User with a ton of issues he suggested and they are just not here. Lots to be done! I’ve always found the lack of easy interface for the most simplest of jobs like dynamic velocity on Cubase just awful. It took them over 25yrs to get it added as it is now!

Hi,

if you move or copy the .dll file manually, you are actually breaking functionality. The Product Manager will not “know” where your moved/copied .dll files reside and any updates will not be performed. Other stuff can happen as well.

Please locate where the SD3 Standalone application finds its .dll file and point all other software to this location in the VST Search/Scan.

BR,
John
