Cannot install VST's or VSTi's in MixPad.

Gary_Hawthorne

I recently upgraded to Masters from Home and I cannot add a new VST effect or VST instrument. I created a folder named c:\vst and c:\vsti and copied the new DLL's into those folders but they never appear in the Track Effects list or the Project MIDI Instrument list. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

OK the forum works! I found a post saying I should only use 32 bit VST's with MixPad. I was going down a one-way street the wrong way. I downloaded the KarmaFX 32-bit free VST and everything started working.

Well thank you for following up on your post. That was helpful knowing it had to be a 32 bit VSTi instrument.

I experienced the same problem. I tried to install several VSTi's and only a few were recognized and loaded by MixPad. I resolved the problem after installing 32-bit VSTi instead of 64-bit VSTi's. Looks like MixPad is a 32-Bit App only.

I also found the information helpful. Thank you for your much earlier replies.
