When Cubase 6 fails to find a VST3 file it replaces its path with Cubase.exe in VST information page, this is what confused me. So Cubase didn’t manage to locate an instrument file for ST VST3 tracks.
What happened was that a file from SampleTank with VST3 instrument definition was somehow missing in the VST3 folder (it must be of course me who lost it in attempt to resolve unrelated issue). VST2 instruments were OK but VST3 didn’t play. SampleTank has both VST2 and VST3 instruments, so the fact that some tracks with ST instances worked but other didn’t was due to them using different VST versions. I managed to resolve this issue, here’s what caused it in case somebody experience a similar problem.
I am completely clueless about how this happened, frantically trying to find the solution. So there is no way to get the parameters unless I fix the plugin path. If I open Cubase 8 it only shows the first (correct) reference but it fails in the same way.įor some songs I don’t get this error, then only correct SampleTank reference is displayed in Plugin info.įor my projects it’s close to catastrophe because tracks with missing plugin info contain custom parameters and if I re-select the plugin all parameters are lost. SampleTank 3 / Steinberg Media Technologies / Cubase6.exe / C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase 6 / Missing Instrument SampleTank 3 / IK Multimedia / SampleTank 3.dll / C:\Program Files\VstPlugins / Instrument / 1.0.0.0 / VST 2.4 If I open Cubase 6 plugin info, I see reference to 2 SampleTank 3 VST plugins: What is also weird is that I get this error for songs that I didn’t modify lately, so there is nothing in the project file that’s changed, it must be some global misconfiguration that applies to all 64 bit versions of Cubase (I have 6 and 8, both fail). And when I check plugin information I see that some tracks have plugin information for SampleTank pointing to Cubase application executable instead of “SampleTank 3.dll”. But suddenly when I open some of the songs I get an error message saying that SampleTank 3 is missing. Until today the VST was correctly loaded. I have songs that use SampleTank 3 (64 bit), some use a single instance of it, some multiple. I have both Cubase 8 and Cubase 6 installed on my Windows machine, and I confirmed that both of them have this problem with some of my projects.
