I am having trouble using the Synthesizer V Studio VST3i plugin in Reaper. Hoping someone here can help me sort it out.
So first, here is how I work with the Synthesizer V Studio standalone program...
- open Synthesizer V Studio standalone program
- draw some notes
- press Play and I only get a tone for the notes
- then I go to the Voice tab, choose SOLARIA for Current database
- press Play and SOLARIA sings the notes beautifully
Next I try to use the Synthesizer V Studio VST3i plugin in Reaper...
- close the Synthesizer V Studio standalone program
- open Reaper
- insert Virtual Instrument on New Track
- choose VST3i Synthesizer V Studio plugin
- select No for Build Routing Confirmation
- draw some notes
- press Play in the Synth V plugin and I only get a tone for the notes
- then I go to the Voice tab, choose SOLARIA for Current database
- press Play and I still get tones for the notes! No SOLARIA singing!
Any ideas as to what might be wrong here? Thanks in advance for any help!

John,
I used to use the plugin. These days, though, I usually generate a rough and vaguely ready backing from BIAB and load that as an instrumental into the standalone version of the program. Such a backing lets me work on a vocal. I had a similar problem with the plugin in Reaper. If I recall correctly, what I found that I had to do was either click on Reaper's timeline to return focus to Reaper or use Reaper's play button rather than SynthV's play button. What I did is no longer clear in my mind but it was something like I've mentioned. (I've just tried to repeat the problem I originally had but in Reaper 7.24 everything seems to work fine and I could not re-create the issue.)
I hope this helps.
--Noel

John, you may get a quicker/better response if you ask in a Reaper or Synth V forum...

There are Synth V users here plus PGM actually produced a video using Reaper and Synth V so that is why I'm asking here too!

I figured this out and got it working! I believe this may have been related to the fact that I had previously installed the Synthesizer V free version and then purchased and installed the pro version without first uninstalling the free one. Below is what I did,
1) downloaded a fresh copy of Synthesizer V Studio Pro (same version as I already had installed)
2) deleted the Synthesizer V VST files from my computer
3) reinstalled Synthesizer V Studio Pro including the VSTs (I did NOT uninstall or deactivate anything first)
4) went into Reaper and forced a complete rescan of all VST folders
5) NOW IT WORKS!
My takeaway/advice is this, if you install the free version and subsequently buy the pro version be sure you uninstall the free one BEFORE you install the pro one!
