It seems 'VstPlugins.ini' in (hidden) 'ProgramData'-folder ->MAGIX->Samplitude Pro X2 Suite
is the key to solve issues with 3rd party VST's in Samplitude.
At least I solved my problems in samplitude by 'tweaking' 'VstPlugins.ini'.

I wonder how exactly this entries in 'VstPlugins.ini' work in Samplitude:

-DirectoryRecursionDepth=(digit, e.g. 3)
-DirectoryDisplayDepth=(digit, e.g. 3)
-ScanSystemPaths=-1

(I'm a Samplitude newbie. I used to work on PC with Logic 5, then till now Studio One 1+2 - Don't like S1-3, that's why I check Samplitude.)

Thanks for any reply

 

Thank you Talmi.
That is exactly what I needed to know

 

Thanks Talmi!
I'm playing around with 'vstplugins.ini' entries, as I can't find much information about 'vstplugins.ini'...

Deleted everything except:
Iniversion=13256
DirectoryRecursionDepth=8
DirectoryDisplayDepth=8

(After my main-VST-folder I have not more than 2 more folders, so 2 should be enough. Will play around with those numbers to find out if the VST-view is changing in Samp)

AND ALSO DELETED -> ScanSystemPaths=-1 (I mean EVERYTHING!)

Then I started Samp with adminrights. Didn't open a project, opened directly 'settings>VST/ReWire' and scanned some folders (some with subfolders) inside my main VST-folder. When scanning the first 3rd party vst folder, Samp is scanning it's own VST before the folder I told Samp to scan. BUT! Samplitude is NOT showing the path I made in my main VST-Folder! Why not? But I can do that manually in the 'vstplugins.ini' - I mean, I can tell Samp that it shows 3rd party vst's in 'plugins-window' that way:
VSTi -> Company Name -> All the Synths/FX of the company one below the other

Well, this isn't very user friendly, but it's a workaround...
And what happened to 'SystemPaths=-1'? It's there again without any problems.
As mentioned above I will go on with playing around with 'vstplugins.ini' entries and will analyze it's structure. That's how I can hopefully force Samp to show VST's the way I want

 

No problem.
@au38wzh If you want your folder the way you organised them, you simply have to follow the procedure as I've explained. It really works, I reinstall all the time it's the way to go. See my screenshots above I have both the vst3 in the way they are organised in the vst3 folder you can't move (in program files) with my personnal vsts organised with my folder structure. I just changed the two lines I've mentioned, crossed the right options in saamplitude settings and that's it.

@Talmi: your procedure is the cure Thank you very much!

Btw: Do you start Samplitude with adminrights?
And whats the meaning of '-1' in 'ScanSystemPaths=-1'?
After the scanning I got a '3' there.

Cool, I'm glad it worked.
Yeah the three is the right value once you've reorganised, that's also what I get.
I don't launch with admin rights but I'm in Windows 7, maybe for the latest Windows it's necessary, I'm not sure. If it works, you probably shouldn't change it.
