Let us know which VST2.x plug-ins are working in Dorico

[dspreadbury]

Please refer to the FAQ thread.

@Ulf

In order to save you from all this pain, with the next update (1.1) we will add the ability to have a second whitelist that goes into the user directory and won’t get touched by the updater. So the audio engine then reads both whitelists and merges them .

Ok, I’ve got 1.1. Please provide instructions as to how to access and use this second whitelist.

[dspreadbury]

Please refer to page 30 of the Dorico Version History document, which gives full details.

I have just downloaded Dorico 1.1 trial and first what I found is the missing Kontakt plugin. From what I read on this forum, Kontakt is whitelisted, so should be seen by default, but is not. Cubase sees it, Sibelius sees it, Dorico does not. Why?

If someone has not already reported it…
Alter Ego is working.

Whitelist entry for a Windows PC:

AlterEgo VST_x64

Just tested and found sforzando and Aria Player VST are working with Dorico.
I strongly suggest Dorico team to make them enabled as default from now on.

FYI: > The ENTER and the WIN keys are corresponding to the RETURN and the CMD key on real macs.

Open Terminal.app and run the following command:

sudo nano /Applications/Dorico.app/Contents/Applications/VSTAudioEngine.app/Contents/Components/vst2whitelist.txt

Press RETURN key, type your administrator password (or root password if you have root account enabled), press RETURN again to confirm.

After that, for each VST2 plugin you want to enable, you have to type their VST Plugin title into the terminal window one line per plugin.

Note that the content of this text is CASE SENSITIVE. I once mistyped “sforzando” as “Sforzando” and Dorico failed to reveal this plugin.

An example of this whitelist file is shown through the attached PNG file.

After finishing the content of this text file in the terminal window, press CMD+O and then press RETURN to save this edited whitelist text file into your local drive. Now you could force-quit the terminal app, run Dorico and see the changes.

Just an FYI that EW released Play 5.0.2 today, with VST3 suport.

Now the $64,000,000 question… dare I risk updating to it.

PLAY 5 VST3 is a real shyte among what you should trust.
I used this plugin in PreSonus Studio One 3.5, finished several MIDI arrangement projects, and I hadn’t found a crashing case yet.

Hallo

I’m happy. I could use Aria Player, Pianoteq5 Stage, Play, Kontakt in Dorico.
But UVIWorkstation got me in trouble.

As I think it has not been mentioned in this thread, this is how I did it:

1. UVIWorkstationVST
2. macOS Sierra

Interestingly, it should be UVIWorkstationAU, who is how it is listed in the plug-ins file.
So, I suggest to try UVIWorkstationVST if AU don’t work, in Mac.

And it works! Now I can use IRCAM prepared piano in Dorico…!!

VidPlayVST seems to be working OK in Dorico under Windows 10.

I’m not sure of the actual GUID, but this worked for me in the Whitelist:

VidPlayVST64

reaStream seems to be working OK in Dorico under Windows 10


I’m not sure of the actual GUID, but this worked for me in the Whitelist:

As of Dorico 1.1 you no longer need to include the 32-digit code at all, for what it’s worth.

ReWire VST seems to be working well in Dorico.

So far I’ve only tested using the discrete processing build of Bidule as a slave. In theory it should also work with other slaves like Sibelius, and Finale.

I have actually updated and tried it since my last post and it seems to work just fine with Dorico. Now I just need the VST/Expression map side of things to catch up a bit and I’ll be happy.

Now that really is interesting and one of the big misses for me so far in Dorico as I mostly work scoring films.

UVIWorkstation version 2.6.15 works in Dorico 1.2 on a MacBook Pro running macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra). I use this with UVI’s World Suite.

Sound Canvas VA Software Synthesizer does work, once it is whitelisted:

How about splitting this list into Mac and Windows ?
