    I opened setup to select my plugin folder in arrange view but nothing happens – it doesn’t scan. I didn’t want to scan when I first made the project as it always crashes and this just means I have to start from scratch again.

    Changing the “default vst plugin folder” in preferences does not cause a rescan. Use the “import plugins from folder…” menu command from the device panel on the start page. Select your root VST folder to do a complete scan. If you had plugins that crashed during scan at project creation, they will also crash when doing the import later on. Podium will log the last scanned plugin, and on restart it will notify you of the problematic plugin and put it on a quarantine list. Repeat the scanning until all crashing plugins have been put on the quarantine list.

    Problem is it seems to bring up Dr Watson almost as soon as the scanning starts at the moment (new build).

    It seems to crash when I try and import the whole VST folder at once. When I import a folder at a time it doesn’t but then that messes up my organisation.

    Also why do some plugins make loads of different versions? – Cube for example has a Cube 1. Cube 2 – a dozen variants. It’s making the whole plugin menu look rather messy.

    If those mappings are inside a subfolder, then the plugin is imported as a global plugin, meaning there are separate mappings for accessing the multiple input/output and MIDI channels for a single plugin instance. If you only intend to use the plugin with a single MIDI channel and single input/output it will be easier to use the plugin with an insert mapping. Use the “new insert mapping” command when right-clicking one of the plugin mappings in the start page device list.
