I have just got the Nektar CS12. Overall really impressed and have got quickly into the remapping functionality with plug-ins. In the plug-in dropdown box on the main Nektarine screen there is a folder for Steinberg but it only has a handful of the Cubase plug-ins. Those that seem to be housed in the ‘Cubase Plug-in set.vst3’ file are failing scanning.
Is this as designed, a limitation of the access that Nektar/Nektarine have to the plug-in API’s, something I am doing wrong ? I have located the exact folder that the vst file is housed in and yet it still fails.
I can change it on the CS12 itself but cannot set up different pages and change the short name through Nektarine as I am wanting to do.
I don’t know the product, but it seems like “Nektarine” is a plugin host, i.e. a separate software that loads VST plugins. The Cubase internal plugin can only be loaded in Cubase though, not in other plugin loaders. This is a limitation from Steinberg to prevent the use of their plugin in other DAWs…
Reading through the product page, it seems like “Panorama CS12 is pre-mapped for all the included Steinberg insert fx plugins.”. So it shouldn’t be really necessary to load them in to that Nektarine thing…
I thought that might be the case. It’s a shame cos everyone uses their plugins in different ways and the colour coding in particular to help separate different functions is great. Thanks for confirming what I thought. Ian
