IMPORTANT: In this case, the "VST Plugins (bridged)", folder must be hidden to Cubase 64-bit, which will scan "VST Plugins (jBridge)".
The instrument itself does not need presentations: used by artists like Moby, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy, Jean Michel Jarre, The Chemical Brothers, Faithless and many many others, the TR-909 quickly became one of the most classic pieces of gear in the electronic musicians arsenal. "VST Plugins (bridge)" will only contain the original 32-bit version which jBridge will use to create the. DR-910 is a Roland TR-909 drum machine emulation. If using jBridge, it is wise to use an additional folder. In this case, it might be a good idea to transfer the older plug-in versions to a "VST Plug-ins (Legacy)" folder, which is only scanned by the older Cubase version.
If you also use an older version of Cubase, it might have problems with newer builds of the plug-ins. Bridging plugins using JBridge This next section will show you how to bridge your 32-bit plugins to 64-bit using JBridge. In this way, each version of Cubase installed on the system will only access the needed plug-ins, avoiding compatibility problems when carefully set up. In Cubase, you can specify the scanned locations under "Devices" > "Plug-ins manager"("former plug-ins informations" > "VST 2.x paths". If Cubase 32-bit is also present and in use, it will need to scan the VST Plugins (x86) and VST Plugins (bridged) folders. In general, it is recommendable to separate the different plug-in types by using three dedicated VST plug-in folders: Plug-in Folder PathĬan be omitted on systems which are fully 64-bit where a few 32-bit plug-ins will be bridged.Īs the chart is showing, Cubase 64-bit will need to scan the VST Plugins and VST Plugins (bridged) folders only. Since the 32- and 64-bit versions of Cubase under Mac OS X share the same preferences folder, it is very elaborate to manage different folders for the two "Bit Modes" of Cubase on a Mac. The separated organisation of plug-ins is mainly applicable on Windows systems. This approach can help increasing the overall stability and avoiding conflicts between different plug-in types as much as possible.īasic information on using 32-bit plug-ins on 64-bit systems can be found in this article. Bridging plugins using JBridge This next section will show you how to.
This article describes an advanced solution for organising 32- and 64-bit plug-ins in different folders. It involves the use of a third party piece of software that allows Cubase to talk.
