I ant his thing to work i did exactly what the instructions asked for. I got all the rom files needed but when i open the plugin its a black screen any ideas how to fix this? i even made the other folder i was supposed to make

 

screen shot your file folders and contents

 

Yeah, and which plugin version? Which platform, DAW, CPU/GPU? V0.9.8 performs a self-check at every startup, which checks the following: whether it has write permissions to the temp folder and the EnsoniqSD1 folder, checks the Lua plugins, and verifies if the MAME engine failed to start for any reason, and of course checks for sd132.zip. Your full black plugin screen is something OS/antivirus related because even the JUCE framework couldn't load.

 

Version 0.9.9 is out. What's new?
https://github.com/sojusrecords/Ensoniq-SD-1-32-Voice-VST-emulation/releases

• NEW: Removed instance limit: now you can load limitless instances of the plugin simultaneous. Thanks to kbaccki for investigating the singletons.
• NEW: macOS AU first public build for SELECTED DAWS ONLY! Please note that the AU plugin is ONLY for Logic, GarageBand, MainStage, Ableton Live, Fender Studio Pro (Studio One) and Reaper. Any other DAW must use the VST3 version! Tested on Logic 11, Fender Studio Pro 8, Reaper 7, Ableton Live 12.
• Added 128 samples buffer setting for fast CPUs
• Added a macro button (SAVE PRESET) for saving presets without MIDI controller
• Added simultaneous cartridge and floppy mounting and ejecting
• Fixed the cartridge and floppy disk mounting issues when loading back a project. We are also checking if the plugin cannot find the files referenced in the project file
• Some GUI fine-tuning of buttons and floppy/cartridge badges
• Some other fixes

 

Blacklist Cubase it works in reaper perfectly.

 

Great update! So many goodies, like enabling for more instances of the plugin (this is great), Save Preset Macro,and more...great job, thank you!!

 

Wow. Real 1:1 Ensoniq in my plugin library is a long held dream. Multiple instances is icing on the cake. Thank you so much!

 

Loads fine in Cubase 15 Windows 11 here.

 

Might be his setup. I know Cubase loves to black list a lot of plugins

 

That was an early version. It's working properly in Cubase now.

 

Hi there, anyone had tested the saving of a Preset? I am failing here, I have been trying for last hour, maybe I dont get the procedure correctly, there´s not much to it as stated in the update, and is like I do on my Ensoniq VFXsd, I´m baffled.
I am on MacOS BigSur, Cubase 14, using new 9.9 vst3 version
