External Effects Not Showing Up In Cubase 14 Pro

Hey All.
I have just downloaded and Installed Cubase 14 Pro.
I have external effects (outboard gear) on my mix bus but they are not showing up in my plugins. T



hey used to be under “external effects” folder in the plugin but they are not there anymore.

They are still there when i go to - Studio - Audio Connections, there are still all set up correctly, but I’m unable to access them now.

Any ideas about what has happened?

Thanks in advance.

I am not 100% certain if the following is true.
If you use a user made collection for your plugins you might have to go to the VST Plugin Manager and add the external effects manually to your collection.

Hi

I have the exact same problem in Cubase 14.0.20?

The external list inside Cubase 14.0.20 is not the same (or updated)?


A restart of my computer did not help?

And di you read the previous post that had the probable fix?

I found the answer to my own problem, I hade to go in to plugin manager and drop in my newly made external hardware plugin into my external folder then they showed up as expected under the external insert. :slight_smile:

Hey there,

I’m having the exact same problem. Can see my outboard in Audio connections but there is no External Effect folder on the inserts of my inspector. I’ve tried to work out how to “drop in” my external effects to the default collection, but I’m not having any luck. Could you possibly walk me through it before I tear all the rest of my hair out?

Thank you so much!!!

Open plugin manager - Plugs are on the left, collection is on the right. Drag from left to right. It’s that simple…assuming this is your problem and not something else.

So here I created an external FX called TEST. Found it in the plugin list with a search…then I drag and drop it to the collection on the right.

Thanks for solution, also note that an external effect can only be inserted ONCE as far as I can see, so if you already have it on another track, it won’t show up in the list.
