Missing VSTi

Hello all. I'm having trouble with Reaper recognizing the Monolisa VSTi. A few other hosts that I use all see it but not Reaper. I did a rescan from the preferences - vst options but still nothing. I thought that maybe it was under a different name as some do differently from host to host but still nothing. Anyone else use this VSTi in Reaper? Is there another scan I should do to have Reaper find this? Thanks.

Shows up here, I just threw it into my plugins test folder: Do you have this unchecked maybe?

Hi Floyd, had the same issue once, but "Rescan directory" didn't get me closer. Did you try also "Clear cache and rescan directory" also? This or what Steindork wrote or some combination of it could be the culprit. -Data

I'll try those options, thanks for the help guys.

I am having the same problem and would love some help if I could get it too. I had reaper installed and a bunch of vsti's working perfectly. I had to restore my computer which sucks. But I reinstalled reaper and now some of those same vsti's that were working perfectly will not show up in reaper. Does anyone have a clue what might be going on? This is getting frustrating trying to figure it out. I have tried anything all ready mentioned above. Thanks WynD

I finally figured my problem out at least. Maybe this will help you too. My original system install with reaper saw and used everyone of my VSTI's perfectly. Then after I reinstalled my system and reaper a lot of them just would not show up. I tried rescanning the directory and clearing cache and rescanning numerous times with no change. Some of my VSTI's are directly in the reaper/plugins folder and just could not understand why the program did not see them. Some of the others were in separate folders in the plugins folder. But anyway.... on the VST option page I clicked on 'ADD' and browsed to the reaper/plugins directory, clicked OK. Then.. hit 'rescan directory' All of the missing VSTI's in that one folder now show up and work in reaper. I had to do that for each of the VSTI's in their own separate folders too. Takes just a little time and I am thrilled to get these working again!! It just seems strange that I never had to do all that before I restored my system. Oh well... it all works now so it doesn't really matter. Hope that helps the rest of you with the same problem.

Welcome to the forums WynD! Glad you figured it out. Your problem probably had to do with the Reaper\Plugins folder you use, this folder is for Reaper plugins and extensions and not for VST plugins. (See ) It seems that Reaper has no trouble finding DLLs in subfolders of a regular "VSTPlugins" folder and it seems that this is different in the Reaper\Plugins folder.

This might be a wild guess but my first thought was that with a restore some of those VSTis might not be in the registry. Did you physically reinstall them or just move the DLLs from some other location? If the latter, then they might not be in the registry (assuming, of course, that the restore point was from a snapshot before they were installed).

I just updated to 2.58 from 2.55 and Im having this same issue and I have also tried everything above with no luck. Everything worked perfectly in 2.55 but 2.58 will not load any of my VST's which are all in a separate "VST Plugins folder". Do I need to uninstall 2.55?

are you guys looking here?
