Hi I am trying to get the new Rhythmizer 2.01 VST ( Trial Demo) to work with my Acid Pro 8 , I have set it up in the usual way I would with other VSTs but although there seems to be a connection I get no sound or effects from The Rhythmizer either through a soft synth or when I draw a midi line ? , Thanks in advance.

@Rayz-R Okay, it looks like it is only available as a VST3 plugin. I think that is the same problem with Chordjam VST3. Doesn't work with ACIDs routing.

I would suggest you try the free demo version of Plogue Bidule. This is a plugin hoster where you can chain other plugins together very easily with a graphical node interface. You just load Bidule as a plugin in your ACID track and inside Bidule you load up everything you need, for example Blue Arp, Chordjam, Rhythmizer and a synth VST and just connect them together by virtual wires.

This will solve all your routing problems in any DAW.

Hi thanks for the reply , I think Acid Pro 8 supports VST 3 according to some posts , also I have ChordJam working and i just loaded up 2 other VST3 plugins which work fine , i'll see what Magix say , also Bidule interesting plugin but rather expensive ,will try the demo.

Hey Rayz-R, it's been a while, but did you get an answer? I had the same problem and haven't found a solution yet. It just popped back into my mind, so I decided to look into it.

@hal_101 There was no update to Acid between 2021 and 2026, so nothing changed. A couple of weeks ago, Boris FX released a new version, Acid 2026. Maybe the VST works there or a future update will make it compatible, although I don't think that Boris FX will prioritize Acid in any way. Check out the free trial version and the forum here:

Hey SP, thanks for your reply. Well, Acid will continue to languish in the shadows, just as it always has. And I hope this change in ownership (once again) will allow Acid to survive in the long run. Somehow, as a user, I’m attached to the software. I’m by no means a software specialist, but MIDI routing usually works without any problems in most other DAWs, so I was just wondering if there had been any response from Acid, Magix, or Boris, since there are obviously still people maintaining this software.
