    Hello,

    I've just installed Sonar 7 and Vienna strings on a Windows XP 64 system.  I'm not able to find the softsynth [Vienna Strings] in any menu in Sonar.  I've heard there is a "bit bridge" that will enable 32 bit plug ins and instruments to be used in Sonar 64.  Does anyone know how to enable this bit bridge feature?

    Thanks.

    Have you used the plugin manager to scan the VI's VST folder?

    (I'm making a rash assumption here as I haven't yet upgraded  from SOnar 6 to 7.)

    It should then appear in Sonar's default plugin list.

    welcome scratch,

    VI / VE is already 64bit on 64bit windows, so you shouldn't even need a bit-bridge ...

    Thanks guys for the responses.  Yes, I'm familiar with the VST scan.  It's listed in the Options-Global-VST plugins tab.   I guess I need to know where to point the vst scan.  Obviously, there a certain file that Vienna Strings plugin installs that Sonar will read to enable it as a softsynth.  Do you know what the file name might be so I can find it?

    Thanks

    if i understand you correctly you are looking for the Vienna Ensemble.dll and/or the Vienna Instruments.dll - during installing vienna software there should have been a dialog *select a folder to install VST plugin* ... i personally always select a seperatly created folder, but you might have been offered an already existing one and just confirmed ... eg. C:/programs/Sonar/VST/ or similar

    That's right... [:)]

    When I installed both VI and Ensemble, I made sure they went in a directory called:

    c:\program files\VI_VST

    In sonar, from the plugin manager, I simply added and pointed to this directory. Hope that helps.
