    Hi peeps,

    did anyone else here experienced the same shit as I did?
    It did work before but suddenly it started to continuously make noise. Made my shit clip as hell! :snuffy:

    Anyway, it's such a great synth and I really thought of buying it, but then I read @ KVR Forums that even 'Legit' users where having the same problems. That made me not do it.

    Is there anybody who can tell me how to get rid of the noise and start making some wicked sounds again?

    Thanks in advance!

    :wink:

    Firstly this is what cakewalk support wrote to me:


    First, Let's run a clean install of the program. To do this,
    You should try uninstalling and reinstalling your Z3TA+2 libraries to get everything up and in working order.

    To wipe out your Z3TA+2 directories simply delete the following files and folders:
    Macintosh HD\Library\Audio\Plug-ins\Components\z3ta2-wrapper.component
    Macintosh HD\Library\Audio\Plug-ins\VST3\z3ta2.vst3
    Macintosh HD\Users\"UserName"\Documents\Z3TA2
    This is the Content Location (Back this up)
    Macintosh HD\Library\Audio\Presets\Cakewalk
    This is the Preset Location (Back this up)
    When you reinstall Z3TA+2, these should be the file paths that the above files should default to when installing.

    Afterwards, you will want to download then install the appropriate updates and free Expansion Packs for Z3TA+2 from our website.

    This should eliminate any software irregularities that are causing your problem, but let us know if it does not.

    Second,
    There are two .plist files that are generated once this trial period is over. They are called tts plist, and com.cakewalk.z3ta2. You should able to find them if you go to User\Library\Preferences\ByHost and delete them. If not, make sure to check the other locations that are specified in the clean install directions.

    Lastly,
    Once these are deleted download a fresh installer for Z3TA+2 and you will have the ability to enter your registration code the next time you instantiate Z3TA+2 within a DAW.

    And this is my com.cakewalk.z3ta+2.0xxxxxxxxxxxxx.plist:


    RegCode string xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
    RegUrl string http://www.cakewalk.com/Register/default.aspx?pid=CWZxxxx&sn=
    Serial Number string CWZxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Type string Z3ta+2
    Version string 2.1




    the xxxx's are off course instead of my digits that i will not give way
    Good luck

    No it's not... I now have 3 Mac's on 3 operating systems and my "unpurchased" Z3TA+2 works fine on all 3... (switched to Mac 5 years ago because PC's suck. PC's are slow as f*ck...)

    I must correct you.

    It is a Z3ta+2/Mac issue and it is confirmed by Cakewalk support. And a lot of other Mac users with legal copies of Z3ta2+

    that the your warez copies works dont change that

    No this is NOT a cakewalk issue.... this is a clear issue of using the crack before actually using the purchased one. Your Plist Files are actually interacting.... i was just on the phone with them and there is one step your skipping, someone here almost had it right.... BUT in users/library/preferences --- go into "ByHost" from there you will need to do a search for a Z3TA+2 plist. file there and that should clean out all the registry codes. After deleting all the files required, and the plist files in both places, restart your computer & reinstall the plugin. Those who are using the the legal version (such as i) will be able to submit their registration code when are prompt to open the synthesizer for the 1st time.

    That should help you guys out.

    firstly I have not used any cracked version of Z3ta2. I bought The Vst already when it was only a windows version. And got it installed immediately on my Mac when that version was released.
    When after some time the vst started not to work, I contacted cakewalk support, which came with a list of solutions. Nothing of it worked.....until I edited the plist file.
