Hi, I am after a free Mellotron plugin and have found a few but I noticed being 32 but my Cubase won’t allow it to install and blacklists it. Why is this? And where can I find a 64 bit Mellotron VST plugin that will suit my Cubase LA AI? ---

Hi, Since Cubase 9 (I hope I’m right), Cubase is 64-bit only. ---

Yes I know Martin, but you did not answer my question. I’m looking for 64 bit VST Mellotron instrument. ---

Hi, Sorry, I replied Cubase related question. I cannot recommend any because I don’t use it, but what about NI Retro Machines MKII, Arturia Mellotron V, Wavesfactory Newmello I, UVI Mello, G-Force M-Tron Pro, IK SampleTron…? ---

You could load these sound samples into a sample instrument:- [http://leisureland.us/audio/MellotronSamples/MellotronSamples.htm](http://leisureland.us/audio/MellotronSamples/MellotronSamples.htm) There’s loads of free sample VST’s, Grace is quite nice and lets you spread samples across the keys easily, which is what you need:- > **[One Small Clue](https://www.onesmallclue.com/index.html)** > > VST Plugins for Windows Other than that you’d need to pay i think, even if you wanted to bridge the 32 bit plugins to run, solutions such as jbridge cost money. ---

Thanks for your advice and suggestion, especially skijumptoes, your link was the perfect solution. Can you suggest any Hammond B3 free VSTs as well? ---

Thank you Martin. Skyjumptoes - I’ve installed Grace Plugin, but does it come with any samples? There is no samples included in my installation, or have I forgotten to download something else that goes with it? ---

Ok, I’ve download the Grace Patches, but I have no idea where to unzip the file. It automatically unzipped it to the same location as the installer in Program Files, but I have a feeling this in correct? If so, where do i unzip file to, should it be the VST Plugins folder? ---

Native instruments Komplete Start is free and that has organs I believe. Has plenty of instruments that you may use in fact and is a very good freebie. As for Grace, as it’s a sampler instrument you load the samples or presets via the plug in so up to you where you store them. I’d create a folder especially for them, unzip there, and you can organize how works best. Then simply load from that location within the Plugin. If you’ve not used a sampler before it may require a little bit of learning. However, you open up to a load of free content as you can use raw sample packs which are very easy to find. ---

How do you remove a plugin from the Blacklist so it can be installed into my VST plugin folder? It is a 64 bit plugin yet Cubase has blacklisted it! ---

You just attempt to reactivate it again.

Doesn’t reactivating your account mean you loose all your saved projects in Cubase and everything else? I don’t think this is good advice. Someone suggested I do this a few years back with a previous Cubase version, and I did it and lost everything!! Not going to take that chance again. ---

Someone suggested I do this a few years back with a previous Cubase version, and I did it and lost everything!! Not going to take that chance again. Reactivating eLicenser is needed, when the Soft-eLicenser Number changes. What happens if you change the system (reinstall it), or if you get a new system-drive (mostly switch from HDD to SSD) or if you switch to new computer. Cubase settings is stored in the preferences folder, which you can transfer to the new installation ---

Reactivating account?! No that’s something entirely different. You need to reactivate the blacklisted Plugin so that it can be used. Plugins need to pass a validation scan before they can be used (to prevent unwanted issues) when they fail this validation they become blacklisted. So all you’re doing is giving that Plugin validation a retry. It has nothing to do with your steinberg account. ---

Thanks for this very good advice! Is there any good Hammond type sound included with Halion SE?
