VST 3 Support

• If you are using the latest Cubase version and a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip (M1/M2/M3), you should be aware that you can only use VST3 plug-ins.

• Not all UJAM plug-ins are available in VST3 format.

• Mac users can still use VST2 when running Cubase in Rosetta mode: How to start your DAW using Rosetta | macOS

• Of course we are working on providing VST3 support for all our products.

Compatibility

ℹ️ Please note that UJAM plugins are not compatible with Cubase 9 or other legacy versions. In that case, please update your DAW to the latest Cubase version.

MIDI Drag and Drop

• When you use MIDI drag & drop in Cubase, a second additional track is added.
• This has to do with Cubase's internal MIDI handling and cannot be bypassed.
• You can simply ignore or delete the unwanted MIDI channel.

How to Rescan Plug-ins in Cubase

• Make sure your UJAM plug-in is installed in order to run properly, please check if that’s the case.
  
  
  • Go to Plugin Manager > Plugin path settings.
    
    Use the Plugin Manager and add the folder for your plugin files. Here's the default VST path:

Windows

%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\VSTPlugIns\UJAM\

%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\

macOS

• On the right top of this window, you will see a “refresh” icon:

• Pressing this icon will rescan all VST folders and add new plug-ins to the list. Newly scanned plugins will appear at the Plug-in Manager.

• Now add a new instrument track and you're good to go!
  

Additional Troubleshooting

If the re-scan couldn't help, you'll need to re-set the VST blacklist file manually.
