Hi! Well, that's odd, I'd re-check if all the bin files are the same as described and if your sd132 file is a ZIP, not a 7z file. Everything should be exactly as described in the txt file.

 

Just a friendly reminder, needs avx2 and won't run on an avx1 CPU or without so if the plugin won't even load or register, that is it.
Any chance to compile it for avx V1?

 

Thanks for the reply. All files tally with git hub ones. Reaper even sees Ensoniq vst but the message asks for the zip file. I did not use 7zip. Mmmm

Method 1: Double-click the file

• Launch WinZip.
• Click "Open" or "File" > "Open".

• Select the files or folders you want.
• Click the "Extract" button.
• Choose a destination folder.

screen shot your directory and post, if possible

 

The Files that i got runs ableton at 4%cpu. HP i7 600 crackles come from interferance from something you got connected. For me it was a PS5controller. Also cannot screen record with it. Needs are : esq2x40_vfx, Ensoniq VFX SD - Stock Library Disk.img, sd132, sd1 All FILES Need To BE KEPT Zipped. Execpt for .img unzip.

 

This is exactly the same problem I’m experiencing. Everything is installed correctly (it’s not complicated anyway). Most likely a compatibility issue.

 

I tested on an i9 13th gen. This is actually the very first time a plugin hasn’t worked for me—unfortunately, in this case the SD-1. I’ve never had issues before, even with older 32-bit stuff like SQ8L or Vector Sector via bridging. Guess I’ll have to wait for the TUS version ^^
