Troubleshooting

Certain plug-ins don’t wrap!

The main reasons for this are as follows:

• The plug-in may need to be authorized.

• The plug-in may be trying to display a dialog box (for example, an authorization

dialog box) before properly initializing itself.

Solution

:

If the plug-in requires a specific authorization procedure prior to launching it,
resolve this now.

Select a plug-in which won’t wrap and run the ‘Re-detect and wrap selected VST
plug-in’ command in the Tools menu. This command gives the plug-in more time
to respond, and should resolve the problem. If an authorization window pops up
for the plug-in, take the necessary steps to authorize the plug-in.

I still can’t wrap certain plug-ins!

• Certain plug-ins which employ wrapping techniques of their own, such as the

Waves plug-ins and the Korg LegacyCell multiple plug-in performance tool
(the actual Korg synths and effects plug-ins themselves have been tested and
work fine), may not work properly. This is for technical reasons and cannot be
overcome without major updates by the plug-in vendors. In the case of Waves,
native RTAS versions are available.

• You may need to update the plug-in or some of its components to the latest

version (please consult the plug-in vendor for further assistance).

• The plug-in may be buggy or may not fully comply with the VST .3 standard.

Certain plug-ins may not have been updated to run in recent operating sys-
tems due to lack of continued support. There is nothing we can do in this case,
as we cannot fix other vendors’ buggy plug-ins.

• The file may not be a plug-in! Please make sure you select valid VST plug-in

folders in the Adapter configuration program.

I can’t see some of my plug-ins in the RTAS plug-in menu!

The plug-ins displayed on the RTAS plug-in menus depend on whether you’re
using mono or stereo tracks.

The CanMono parameter in the Wrapping Options and Information section
indicates whether a non-mono plug-in can also operate in mono.

I can’t get tempo-synced plug-ins to synchronize!

In the Adapter configuration program, set the MIDI parameter to ‘Yes’.
