Music Maker 17 Premium: Cannot get new VST plugins to show in programme

mattd73uk wrote on 2/29/2012, 11:20 PM

Hi,

I have read a lot of questions on this.  So I know and have tried:

- Running MM 17 Premium as adminitrator.

- Not in easy mode

- I have reset the VST folders, then used "Add..." under Synthesizer to add the folder of the new VST plugin

- The plugin does not appear.  I have tried with a number of different plugins.  I cannot import any VST plugin into Music Maker.

- I have closed and opened the programme, the VST plugins do not appear.

- I have tried adding the path through preferences "Add VST Plug-in Path", the VST plugins do not appear.

Can anyone help?

System: Windows 7, 32-bit, Music Maker 17 Premium

You have already tried a lot and good you have mentioned in your quesion. But one thing which is not clear you said

" I have reset the VST folders, then used "Add..." under Synthesizer to add the folder of the new VST plugin"

Do you mean you wan to add VST Plugins of Music Maker or you have downloaded from other sources and want to add?

I use MMM 16 Premium and if I want to add third party VST Plugin I just copy that inside Music Maker Synth folder and that works. But some plugins could not work in Music Maker.

OR if you are trying to use Music Maker VST Plugins in that case they should be added during installation of Music Maker or if you got download version then, have to be installed with extra contents packs but not manually.

Or try this method: Make a new Synth folder some where on computer such as insside MY Music and give any name such as My Synth then copy the contents inside. Open Music Maker use Add VST button this should work.

Hi Nihon,

Thank you very much for responding.

"Do you mean you wan to add VST Plugins of Music Maker or you have downloaded from other sources and want to add?"

The second, I have 3rd party VSTs and I cannot get these to appear.  I have heard that some VSTs will not work, but I have tried 3, and none work: Native Intruments Reaktor; WIDI VST; and Ambience VST.

"I use MMM 16 Premium and if I want to add third party VST Plugin I just copy that inside Music Maker Synth folder and that works."

I have tried that, it doesn't work for me.

"Or try this method: Make a new Synth folder some where on computer such as insside MY Music and give any name such as My Synth then copy the contents inside. Open Music Maker use Add VST button this should work."

I have tried that (this is what I meant by "add the new folder of the new VST plugin"), and this doesn't work.

Thanks again for trying, is there anything else I can do?

Actually MMM 17 or up version there are some changes therefore, what we did in older version may not work. Also on Windows 7 they might behave differently. I remember some user had also asked similar questions here you better search those.

Question: whenever you tried to add vst plugins of third party did you also clear your browser history and cookies? if not please do that from Tools/Internet options (depends on your browser) then try.

Also for adding third party vst plugin when you access them via Add vst plugin put cursor on file with extension DLL at the end  just click once then press ok. I hope you already knew it.
