Hello, the pictures “should” tell the story.
dorico 4 (which the piece was built in) shows:
Dorico 5 shows

inside the D5 EW sample drop down IS the Opus vst. hhmmm. D5 has changed the way it structures this? or do i do something on import?
thanks
Neither I think - I had a project do something weird like that when I upgraded, and it never seemed to get completely better - I could change the VST but Opus did some weird things like not playing back one of the instruments. It was just that one project, so I copied it into a fresh D5 project.
I’ve also had Opus get mad before, where only a reboot works, even if you restart Dorico’s audio process - like the vst/lib won’t unload or something.
Side note: in my C++ days , a friend created a utility he called “Shazam” to totally unload our app’s DLL’s - gave it to out test team to use so that they wouldn’t find a serious bug, and then (as they had) keep reporting erroneous bugs on the now cratered system. Shazam brought you to a clean slate without the time needed for a reboot. Anyway, got to the phase where our app was being tested for compatibility with any other random app the test team could think off. So I got a bug report that “I ran Shazam and the app died!” Um, yeah.
@cptmojorider, are you running on an Apple silicon-powered Mac? If so, perhaps you were running Dorico 4 under Rosetta and you’re running Dorico 5 as a native application?
I am on an M! but not using rosetta. thanks, Daniel.
Hi @cptmojorider, when Dorico shows exclamation marks around a plug-in, it means that it can’t find the corresponding plug-in. This may have various reasons. Daniel mentions the Apple Silicon compatibility, because on native Apple Silicon we don’t support VST2 plug-ins any more.
According to East West’s website, Opus comes in both, VST2 and VST3 versions. The question really is, when you created that project, did it use the VST2 or VST3 version of Opus?
My guess is the former case, so that now that you are on an M-chip and not in Rosetta mode, it simply fails loading Opus.
Could you please do from Dorico’s menu Help > Create Diagnostics Report and post here the corresponding zip file? With the help of that I can say more about it.
I am on Dorico 5 (upgraded last week) and I have !! Halion Sonic !! showing as one of my VSTs.
I am not on M1 yet.
Would a project help? If so, can I send privately?
Hi @DanielMuzMurray ,
you can send it to me please at u dot stoermer at steinberg dot de.
Also please do from the menu Help > Create Diagnostics Report and send me the corresponding zip file as well. Thanks
