Subject:Kompakt for Acid Pro 6 a no show in 7

I installed Acid pro 7, then installed Kompakt for Sony Acid Pro that came with my old version 6. Install went fine, and registered fine, and the VST .dll file shows up in the VST plugin folder in program files.

Yet when I try to load the soft synth, its a no show. Tried the knowledgebase but it is down. Any ideas?

Have you tried re-registering it? That worked for me.

I thought that might be a problem, so I tried and it came back as "already registered". I have even tried a re-installation.

There is a post in the knowledgebase, but all links come back blank.

Kompakt does not show up in the Plug-in Manager view list of Soft synths?

Does it appear in the Soft-Synths\All\Failed folder in ACID's plug-in manager view?

Yes I did find the synth in the "failed" folder in the manager view. I clicked on re-scan and now it loads properly. Thanks!

Good to know.

FWIW: ACID's scanning of plug-ins has a built in time out of 20 seconds per plug-in. Some plug-ins can hang on intialization and we had to prevent a complete lock up of ACID. I am surpised that Kompakt did this, but it can be dependent upon system resources as much as on the plug-in itself.
