Blue Cat Audio patchwork

[Kimbo]

I purchased Blue cat patchwork hoping to use vst 3's in Saw 64. I can open the program on it's own but have no knowledge of how to get it into Saw. Does it have a .dll to drag into the vst Folder ? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

From the manual:

Windows
Install
All versions of the plug-in provide an installation program. Follow the steps of the wizard to install the software on your machine. During the installation you will be asked where you want the software to be installed. For the VST version, you should install the plug-in inside the VST plug-ins folder used by your host application(s). The default path set in the installer should work for most applications, but you should check your host software documentation to know where it looks for VST plug-ins. For other plug-in types, you should just use the standard path.

Some applications will not automatically rescan the new plug-ins, so you might have to force a refresh of the plug-ins list.

For SS that folder would be ...\SAWStudio64\VST_PlugIns

Did you not notice this step in the installation process? Is your FX view properly filtered (actually, unfiltered) so that you see all VSTs on your system?

But the best practice with SAW is often to let the installer place the DLL in its default location, then use the INI redirection approach for SAW to access it. Info on that is in the SAW help file.
