Ok thank you. I will change over to MPC Beats until this issue is fixed. I am confident that my system is good and it worked before. After 35+ years developing firmware I don’t open a problem report unless I am sure about it. There must be a setting in Cubase that is causing my installation to exhibit this issue.

I have tested SD3 in the latest version Calkwalk and it works perfectly. That would point to the fact Cubase 11 and 12 have HiDPI and scaling. Which along with the nag screen are mentioned in the release notes. I don’t think that is a random coincidence. I can’t remember if Cubase 9.5 has those features. As I said before a splash/nag screen without a timer as back up is a bad idea. The splash screen on the standalone makes perfect sense. Who else has a splash screen on a plugin? SD3 3.3.2 is not getting past the nag screen. As it works in Calkwalk which is has minimal scaling and dpi adjustment, would add a little to that fact. As Steinberg create the VST3 standards and SDK. It would be reasonable to expect them to get it right in Cubase.

I have tried the latest version of Cubase 11 Pro also. That has the exact same problem. I have EzBass and EzKeys in the same project and they a working perfectly!  As did SD3 before the update.  Nothing actually loads until I go in and hit the nag screen.  It is nagging me now! I think you will get more on this issue in the coming weeks. I got rid of Pro Tools a couple of months ago because they would not listen to their customers. Which annoyed me. Changed back to Cubase and I am happier for it! I don’t think SD3 will survive to the end of the week. I think I will give it a day or two more and bin it if something is not sorted out about the nag screen. I don’t do annoying anymore. I pay my money and expect it to work!

Why would I ask Gearspace? It is a Toontrack issue. Caused by Toontrack. It will be interesting to see if more people add to this post.

Drumjack52 …  Cubase 12 Pro has a dynamic processing and it is off. It was off on 3.3.1 and nothing has changed other than the SD3 update to 3.3.2. It is the exact same Cubase 12 Pro version 12.0.30. I am confident that the issue is the nag/splash screen. When I click on SD3 plugin inside Cubase the nag screen is all I get. I then click on it and it loads everthing in a slit second. Everyhting then works as it should. The most recent update to my system was UAD 10.1. for apollo and satelite DSPs. Which worked perfectly with the previous version of SD3. There is simply no other change apart from SD3.

When I click on the SD3 plugin it comes up on the nag/splash screen. When I click on that it loads in a few seconds. When you say it can take time to load I assume you mean less than 15 mins.

It dosent matter how long I wait. It will not start working until I actually open SD3. Everything is loaded and ready to go. I will try a complete unistall and try from scratch.

You can’t use the SDK on a finished VST, you only use it to build a VST. I have not messed with anything as you choose to put it! As I have said after updating to 3.3.2 when I go into Cubase 12 Pro and press play the drums do not start. Because the plugin is waiting for me to into to it and click the Nag screen. It is that simple. Once I have completed this it works as normal. I would suggest the programmers use a timer or disable this in the plugin. This is a massive disruption to work flow. Plus if you read the comments. It isn’t just me is it!

Every time I open Cubase 12 Pro the SD3 plugin will not work until I actually go into it. If I press play in Cubase everything plays except SD3. I have no other plugins that behave like that. Because they have more sense than to destroy the users work flow with their product. I have been using Steinberg VST SDK for years. I have moved two products to VST3 in the last 19 months. I don’t accept that this added nagging splash screen needs to there for any of the reasons you gave. IT IS ANNOYING! That is why no one else is crazy enough to release stuff like this.

No it works perfectly after I actually go into SD3 and aknowledge the about box. Why screw with a good thing. This is pure letting marketing people near your develpment team. I was a firmware engineer for over thirty years. I know how to run a team of firmware engineers and this sucks. Most engineering team leaders would neverlet this happen. It is about talking pride in what you do.

Make the idiots who broke it work over the weekend and fix it by Sunday. That will teach them what it means to be professional software/firmware engineers.

After the latest update I get a stupid we are Toontrack. Really as if I didn’t know that already. I then press play in Cubase 12 and find that the idiots need me to go into SD3 and say. I know who you are before SD3 actually works. If the idiots in marketing want me to like them. This is not the road to go down. Why o Why screw with something that works!

At this moment in time it makes little difference for Windows users. As long as you have a VST 2.4 version you should be fine. As Steinberg Cubase 12 which will be available later this year will only support VST3. This is important because Steinberg invented the VST plugin and they are the sole providers of the development kits. So plugin developers like me will no longer develop stuff earlier than version VST3. Steinberg will no longer support any developer before the VST3 standard they produced. It is a move designed to improve the quality of plugins across the board. It is a bit of a kick up the backside to companies that are not keeping up with the state of play.

Well obviously diifferent piano sounds are must have. I can only remention. Cinamatic Grand. Just gives you someting new to work with. But by far the best sound is The Hybid Harp followed very closely by the Meltoon. I use them evey day.
