Hey Toonies 🙂 I need your help.

I just bought a brand new and fast pc with only Cubase 8.5 and the soundcard driver for my Focusrite Saffire 14 Pro installed. I then bought Superior 2, The Metal Foundry SDX and a bunch of EDX expansions. Some of it was as downloads and some of it was not. I downloaded the Product Manager and everything seemed to work perfectly. Installed, updated, authorized and ready to go. No issues what so over. The problem is that it is nowhere to be found in Cubase.

I run Windows 10 (64bit), Cubase 8,5 (64bit) and the Superior 2 is 64bit. I could not find any info on the expansions. Superior 2 and the expansions just don’t show up as vst in Cubase. Am I missing something? I looked for dll-files as well but none were found. I ran the installation of both Cubase and the Toontrack products like the installation suggests when accepting the installation. I guess I sort of hoped (or expected rather) that the Toontrack products found the correct place to install so it would work right away. I mean….a brand new pc (bought yesterday) and Cubase installed where Cubase as standard is getting installed. I just thought that nothing could go wrong when selecting installation as Toontrack and Cubase suggests.

I then installed a guitar amp sim plugin and selected the Cubase vst folder in which the dll-file should be placed. No problem at all. The guitar amp sim plugin works like a charm in Cubase.

Does anybody have a clue? I just spend a huge amount of money on Toontrack products I kinda hoped would work :-). I also just spend almost 8 hours of installing. Maybe for nothing. Hope someone can help me.

This is what I see on the HELP–>about Cubase section

It is not 64-bit. I believe Cubase 6 was the first to offer a 64-bit version.

I got Cubase 11 and i still cannot see any of the VST’s for Superior Drummer 3.
I think it has something to do with your product.

In your first picture you have the .dll in a (x86) location. That is a 32-bit location and is not the default location. Did you move or copy it? That is the reason Cubase 11 won’t find it.

I am having the same problems with EZ showing up in Cubase 11. The dll files are in the correct spots, but they do not show up as instruments nor effects. All the other plugins in the folder work fine.

Is that path set in the Cubase Plugin Manager?

Yes, it the correct directory. All the other folders and files in that directory show up in Cubase.

I’m not sure what you mean. That directory looks like it only has 2 plugins in it (EZmix and EZkeys). What are the “others” you refer to?

Can you post a pic of the Cubase plugin manager paths showing the path to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Toontrack

I don’t think there is a path to select for VST3. In Cubase it only asks for directories for VST2.

Cubase 11 supports VST3. You should be able to set the path to VST2 or VST3 plugins in the same place in Cubase. If you set the path, do they show up?

It says VST2, there is no place to select VST3 directories. Cubase has them set up in the directory I am using and where Toontrack is located. Are the plugins VST3?

They are VST2 plugins. Please try and set the path.

Aha! That is the problem. They were installed default into VST3. They should default to VST2 folder!

I can just drag the files to the correct VST folder. Or should I reinstall? How would I reinstall?
