Sib. 7.0: AU and VST instruments not seen after rescan
Posted by Pierre-Pascal Poulin - 07 Aug 05:59PM
I would like to use several plugins in AU and VST format with Sibelius 7 but even if I rescan the plugins folder within Playback Settings, several plugins are missing in AU and no VST are listed.

There is a bug that prevents VST plug-ins from being listed on Mac in Sibelius 7. Sorry about that: it will be fixed as soon as possible.

However, you should find that all AUs are listed. Which AUs do you expect to see that aren't there?

OK for the bug: I will wait for the update. With regards to AU instruments and effects, I found that they are all listed if I choose to launch Sibelius 7 in 32-bit mode instead of the 64-bit default on my Mac OS X Lion setup. A question : is there a way to use Sibelius in 64-bit mode and still use 32-bit plugins, like MachFive 2 ? Thanks !

Not directly, I'm afraid, but perhaps there is a Mac equivalent to jBridge, which is a special intermediary program that allows you to load 64-bit plug-ins in a 32-bit host and vice versa on Windows.

OK. Thanks for the fast reply. I will use Sibelius in 32 bits mode until I find a bridging program.

Is there any ETA on the VST bug? I know you cannot commit to anything but even just a round-about answer would be useful. Is it a week? A month? A year? :) I just upgraded to Sibelius 7 and unfortunately cannot use my VST plugins now!

xelius, you have resurrected a thread which was over a year old, and no longer wholly relevant.

Your old VSTs will be 32-bit technology. Sibelius 7 runs by default in 64-bit mode, and cannot use 32-bit VSTs. So, either:

1. update your VSTs to 64-bit versions; or
2. run Sibelius 7 in 32-bit mode.

To convert Sibelius 7 to 32-bit mode, locate Sibelius.app in the Finder, select it and Command-I to open the "Get Info" panel. Set the check-box for 32-bit mode.

There are disadvantages to 32-bit mode, and you should plan to migrate everything to 64-bit mode eventually.

Sorry, the thread was never updated so I would not know that right? Thanks for the information. I really do appreciate it. I'm going to try it out. Cheers!
