Pecheneg Tremolo VST won't show up

[Starship Krupa]

Practically speaking, this issue comes up very rarely. It seems like most plugin developers are using unique VST IDs.

It could be that it's just that the end users don't know about it 'cause it's always the bedroom coders, and the expectation that the plug-in is even going to work at all is lower!

I just downloaded a collection of 4 effects and they all used the same ID. One of them was said to be a really cool tape simulation. The "Bus Compressor" had a cute UI, the front of it was a yellow bus and the gain reduction meters were the bus' windshield wipers.

Oh well. Put so much good work into a freeware plug-in, then people can't use it because of a silly ID clash? Seems kinda sad to me, especially when they are doing it just for the fun of it.

Hi,

Maybe, but lots of people ask me to investigate why their plugins aren't loading, and duplicate VST IDs is always at or near the bottom of the list of causes. Usually, it turns out to be the search path, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.

This three year old thread involved a little detective work, the problem was identified and a work around was discovered. The rest is discussion.

The only other thread you (@Rhyman) have been involved in was six years ago when you first joined, and it appears Greg provided you with an answer and a useful suggestion.

So whats the problem specifically?
Just in a troll mood?
