Scaler 3 is working great with all my third part VST’s. Yesterday I added a third party VST to my Mac but unfortunately Scaler 3 does not load this VST in the Instruments/Manufacturer list. The VST is loaded in the VST3 and Component folders in the plugins folder. This new VST is also available in t…

1.0.6 now allows for Custom VST Folders.

Just confirming we are adding the ability to add custom VST folder paths in the settings menu - that will be here in 3.1, expected mid to late April

Respectfully - I would love to know what a “small” SSD is - here in 2025. It would have to be something like 64GB (or less) to have to put anything on another drive. The actual plugin files (.vst3, .dll etc) are tiny. I have 420 VST3 installed right now, and it uses 17GB total. Now if you are inst…

Well, for me, small system drive is 256 GB, but I want it as empty as possible. I have so many applications, instruments and other stuff that I have 80 GB free and I install my libraries and plugins, when asked , on my 1 TB SSD. But I am not asked every time :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Moreo…

Because I want to have them in one place. When Windows OS decides some of them go into one folder, some in another. All my other software can cope with this easily; Scaler can’t

This would make sense - if it were true. Windows uses one (and only one) directory these days: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 So I have no idea what you are talking about when you say “Windows decides”. Windows does not decide anything - the plugin installers do. VST2 was retired in 2022 and…

none of my ample sound guitar plugins are showing up in the 3rd party plugins in standalone are inside my DAW.

Au contraire. Program Files Program Files x86 Still, let’s not let actual facts intrude here eh?

x86 was for 32 bit plugins - which have not been a thing in 15 years. No vendor plugin today ships in this format and that directory does not exist on my DAW. S

I got no clue why you’re even remotely defending Steinberg’s stunningly stupid decision to make it a requirement that everything should be thrown into one location :person_shrugging: :person_facepalming: It’s a matter of fact that’s not applicable in practice. Smashing everything into one place en…
