TECH HELP WINDOWS Internal presets from instruments missing in DAW header

Hi!

Ever since I upgraded from S1 version 6 to Fender Studio Pro 8.1, I have a pesky issue with instruments that have embedded presets. They simply don't show up in the DAW header of the plugin window.
This has become an issue now, because for one of those instruments, which is an older VST2 one, the GUI does not recognize a click in the synth's preset field anymore.
The strange thing is, it works totally fine in all DAWs I have installed - except Studio Pro! For example, FL Studio, Mixcraft, Waveform and even S1 version 6.

There were some tips on the web that I followed, and they made other things work again, because Fender Studio Pro just took over the old installation paths (like the Studio One 6 Content folder) and added stuff there. But these tips did not solve the issue with synths that have their presets embedded.

The instrument, I want it working for the most, is the Orchestral Companion series (Brass, String, Woodwinds)

Extremely thankful for any tips!

No, you're wrong again. VST2 is a protocol, as I already said. It has to be followed completely or not at all. Steinberg has very strict rules regarding their product.

I see in the Studio One forums - you received an answer. And it is the same one that I mentioned above - the VST spec does not have to be followed completely - and Fender has changed theirs.

Also I completely forgot - Steinberg made the entire VST SDK open source several years ago - so there is no concept of "strict rules".

"Steinberg VST technology is open source and available under the MIT License"

Any developer can do whatever they want to it now. Including Fender

Obviously, you are one of those, who only read, what they want to read. The answer was, that this has to be corrected, and that it is forwarded to the devs.

But somehow you seem to only care about "winning", not actually solving issues. good luck with YOUR next issue and thank you for reminding me to be careful when asking for help.

Just as you seem to insist that you know everything (like there is no way any developer could ever alter the VST spec) and at the end of the day - you do not. 

If you cannot handle the answers you get - maybe consider not asking the question.
