A strange issue happened as far as I can tell during a usual production set. No administrative tasks been done or so. But, Cubase for some reason stopped loading my vstpresets for my Sylenth1 (3.073). Iv been Using both Cubase and Sylenth1 for at least 10 years and never had any issues between these. As I alwaysed enjoyed being able to filter and find presets within Cubases own preset manager.
But for some reason several of the presets stopped working or being able to be loaded.
The only real clue I have so far is that the filled pentagon icons are loading as they use to, and the squared one dose not. Any ideas what this means?
Can be sorted out?
Hi,
The squared icon is a program (a single instrument for a slot in HAlion Sonic, for example) preset.
The pentagon is the *.vstpreset file.

Just tested once again by disabling the VST3 version and only running the VST2.4 version of Sylenth1. And this still works, so something related the VST3 version.
I think you mean hexagon, not pentagon

Yeah, my bad. Should be hexagon.
Hi there!
Newbie here,very first post . Looked around for a thread about my problem,this one is the closest.
The VST loader (Artist 12,let’s mention Halion as an example) doesn’t show anything or blinks for a “milisecond” what it should display for good,then stays empty. No “name”, “category” or elsewhat works.
-Thanks for your help!
Hi and welcome to the form,
If I understand you correct, you open MediaBay (in any of its form) to load a preset/sounds whatever. The list of the presets/sounds blink and disappears. Am I right?
If this is the case, you have some filter setup, most probably. None of the preset/sound pass the filter therefore there is no result. Please, reset the filter in the MediaBay window.
If this is not the case, attach a screenshot of the (empty) window, please.
Martin,thanks for your answer!
The MediaBay works correctly,checked it before between all other things i’ve clicked,right now again after your suggestion.
Good to know it’s the first thing to look at when having such a “problem”.
Through this, i just noticed this happens only in the specific project (started new with the purchase of Artist 12),
but not in another (older) one that moved from SX3 to AI and then to Artist.
Just noticed too, that the “sound name window” (or what it’s called?) in Halion is frozen at GM 006 (pic.) as the up-down buttons…
I’ll try to close and reopen all instruments in this project,this might be just a “normal” freezing problem.
I’ll write back for the results.
Checked, not a specific project problem!
In the new project, the loader of all open VSTs doesn’t work (with Rolands too) plus the rightside browser shows some things and just blinks out some others. Started this project with a Cubase template and changed things on the way,never done this before always started with blanks,maybe something i’ve done wrong here…
-In the older project,Groove Agent and Retrologue work just fine, but Halion was almost like in the new project. No loader, but with the up-down buttons working and no frozen window.
Closed and opened new,…and it works!
Let’s see the new project now…
Problem solved,
all seems to work correctly now, thank you Martin!
