HEY! I’m batting 1,000!

I just read the manual (first time for everything 😉 ), and it says there’s a text file created along with the vst, and they need to stay together. I couldn’t find a text file, but I copied the csd into my VST folder and String Feedback started right up!!!

So I think I’m okay for now, though I reserve the right to ask more questions at some point.

Thanks! 🙂

I’m glad you’re set up Ok. Copying dlls into system32 seems a little messy, but hey, if it works. Yeah, the .csd file should live in the same directory as the dll. In fact, when you export Cabbage will always make a copy of the .csd file and put it into the same directory as the dll.

Keep in touch and feel free to ask as many questions as you like. 😉

> Right, now we’re getting somewhere. So Granule ships with a csound64.dll. When it installs it adds the path to that dll to your system settings. If this path is before your path Cabbage will try to load that one, which is definitely an older version of Csound. However, if you remove that version Granule might stop working. The installers for later plugins don’t have this issue. If you reach out to @chronopolis (Micah) I’m sure he will send you an updated installer for Granule that will prevent any issues that might arise from an existing Csound install.

Bumping this comment - I just experienced this same problem on a Window 10 machine. Moving CSound before Granule allowed Cabbage to start.
