32-bit VSTs do not work in 64-bit Psycle

I think that JBridge might not be working correctly. I have the 64-bit version of Psycle 1.12.0 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. I can successfully select the path and load 64-bit plugins, but when I check off the "32<->64 bit bridge support" and "JBride" options, the 32-bit VSTs are listed under "Non-working or not a machine." When I go back to settings, the 32-bit path and bride options are greyed out (disabled). I used to have a 32-bit machine, so I didn't have to worry about this. My new 64-bit machine doesn't seem to work with the plugins correctly.

Trying to load only 32-bit VSTs only (64-bit path blank) does not work.

Regenerating the plugin cache before or after any of the steps above did not help. The plugins in the 32-bit folder were always non-working. Try to load one from that list also fails.

Here is an entry from the scan log:

code:
EAWVstPluginsAkoustikPianoVST.dll ... new plugin added to cache ; ### ERRONEOUS ###

class psycle::host::exceptions::library_errors::loading_error

Couldn't open the library: EAWVstPluginsAkoustikPianoVST.dll

Thanks in advance for any help and support,

The forum seems to have messed up my log entry even though I put it in BB Code CODE tags. The path is supposed to be "E:>DAW>VstPlugins>AkoustikPianoVST.dll" with the ">" signs becoming slashes. This path is correct; it goes to my Native Instruments VST that is at its latest version.

Hi.

There might be several problems on your side:

First, I will quote the FAQ.txt:

quote:

Q) What is the difference between the 32bits and 64bits builds, and what implications
does it have when using VST plugins?

A) The 64bits version of Psycle is made for users of the 64bits of Windows. Both the 32 and 64bits
can be used in these OSs, but there is a restriction: The 64bits version can only load 64bit
versions of VST plugins and the 32bits can only load 32bit versions of them.
If you use a VST bit bridging, like jBridge ( http://jstuff.wordpress.com/jbridge/ ),
then that software can allow to use 32bits on 64bit version and 64bit on 32bit version.
Remember to activate the support in Psycle Directories settings.

So, by default, Psycle can only load the plugins of its same bit size. It requires a third party software to "bridge" the bits. That software is not free and is currently the only way for Psycle to support bridging.
I've seen recently that ModPlug Tracker does have native bit bridging, and I might ask them if I can port that to Psycle.

If you have jBridge, then, if the setting is enabled (as you suggest you did), when it detects a problem loading the plugin, Psycle asks to jbridge to load it.

In the build I have it seems to work.
Right now i have some 32bit plugins that crash my version of jBridge, (which is old so i cannot regenerate the cache), but other than that, it is scanning the vsts correctly.
