If you are not getting any error messages but are unable to get output from the Fantom VS Editor, there may be two causes:
-
You may not have the audio driver for the Fantom VS
-
SONAR X1 and later: go to Edit > Preferences > Audio > Devices and make sure under Input Drivers you have selected "VS-700 FANTOM VS". (If you have a second VS-700R you will also want to select "VS-700 (2) FANTOM VS").
-
SONAR 8.5 and earlier: go to Options > Audio > Drivers and make sure under Input Drivers you have selected "VS-700 FANTOM VS". (If you have a second VS-700R you will also want to select "VS-700 (2) FANTOM VS").
-
You may need to have SONAR personalize some settings behind the scenes. To force this to happen, do the following:
-
Launch SONAR and go to your VST Plug-ins menu:
-
SONAR X1 and later: go to Edit > Preferences > File > VST Settings.
-
SONAR 8.5 and earlier: go to Options > Global > VST Plug-ins.
-
Make sure your “VST Scan Folder(s)” are set properly to scan where you have installed your Fantom VS plug-in. Copy and paste the locations below for your system (x86 or x64):
-
SONAR x86: the default location is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins -
SONAR x64: the default location is:
C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins -
Place a check mark next to both "Re-scan Failed Plug-ins" and "Re-scan Existing Plug-ins".
-
Click the [Scan VST Folders] button and let the scan complete.
-
Afterwards, close SONAR completely and wait a few moments.
-
While holding down the SHIFT key on your keyboard, open SONAR.
-
When prompted with the message "SONAR will now personalize your user settings", make sure to click [OK].
Note: If you do not get this message try closing SONAR and repeating the step above. -
Create a new project and insert the Fantom VS by going to Insert > Soft Synth > Fantom VS.
- Test out playback from the Fantom VS and see if you can hear it.
