Spector, LoopMash, Mystic and Prologue cannot be found in Cubase 12. The Plug-in Manager cannot find them (even if you set different search paths to all VST3, Steinberg and Common folders.) I even set up a search for the entire Program Files Folder in Windows 10 and still not found). No place to download from Steinberg Download Assistant that I see. But… they show up and work fine just fine in Cubase 11 Pro. What is wrong?
They were discontinued in 12. LoopMash you can just copy over the VST file if you want. Otherwise, keep Cub11 around for when you want to use them.
Gee Steinberg…thanks for the warning!! What about all those developed User Presets??? Who goes back to a previous version after setting up shop in a new upgrade??
That’s the purpose of the release notes. We should read them before we decide to upgrade.
Actually you can copy all of them into 12 if you are on a PC (but not Macs which is the cause of the retirements as I understand it). Don’t recall the actual directions. But you can search and find them here in a thread from right after 12 came out.
Do they work without a dongle with old license?
Not sure about that. Copy them over and give it a try.
