Problems with VST instruments after update

Guy-VV wrote on 4/29/2023, 4:00 AM

After installing the latest update (31.0.5.53), I have problems with the Magix VSt instruments. The button to insert a VSt no longer works: when I click on the little arrow left above the VSt instrument (to insert the instrument), the button disappears (see Figure 1), but nothing else happens. I can drag the instrument onto a track, and then indeed a MIDI file and the instrument's configuration window appear, but the instrument's sound is anything but okay unless I click on the little triangle to the left of the selected element (see Figure 2). If I play the track, I again have that lousy sound. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Hi

. . . . the instrument's sound is anything but okay . . . .

I this with an existing project or does the issue occur when you start a new project?

Are all VST instruments affected the same way?

Do Soundloops sound OK or are they affected?

Check the Audio/Midi settings are correct for your audio hardware, if using the computers internal audio card/chipset then these are my default settings - note: I cannot replicate this issue.
