Some Arturia plugins are shown twice

Hello

I was not sure if I should write to Arturia first or post in here, but here we go.

I just got Arturia FX Collection 5 on a sale and wanted to test some of the effect plugins it in WL12 Pro. Weirdly, some of them appear twice. What does it mean, and how can I fix this?

Also, what do those 3 lines mean?

lines

Thanks

These are the VST3 plugins.
The others (without the 3 lines) are VST2 plugins.
Arturia installs both versions in parallel (and also AAX), which is why the plugins appear twice in the Plugin list.

Did I make the mistake of installing both types of plugins (VST2 and VST3)?

Any suggestions?

It’s not really a mistake, but VST2 is a pretty old and discontinued plug-in format so unless the VST3 version is causing you problems/bugs, use the VST3 version.

You can hide the VST2 versions in the Plug-In Preferences area if they bother you. See attached.

You can also manually delete the VST2 versions from your VST2 plug-in folder if they are not needed.

I’m on MacOS/Apple Silicon so I can’t really show you any VST2 versions but the attached image will show you how you can hide certain plug-ins:

Thank you so much. I will try it out and get back if it doesn’t work for some reason.

EDIT: It worked. I followed your suggestion and the VST2 plugins are now gone from the list. Thanks!

@P.A.T Thanks for your reply, as well.
