VST Effects - only with DAW?
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
I've read the user manual but I'm not clear on this. Do VST effects only work if you're using Finale with a DAW? I downloaded a 64bit VST effect, added its folder to "VST plug-in directories," re-scanned for plug-ins, but when I open the "VST Banks and Effects" and select the "effects" drop-down it is blank, and the icon to the right is grayed out and inaccessible. I don't use a DAW with Finale and would like to know if that's the only way to apply effects.

No, no need for a DAW.
Did the VST you downloaded have both 32 and 64bit versions? If so, make sure you're pointing to the right one.

Thanks! I went back and reinstalled to a discrete directory - added it to the VST locations in Finale and it's working.
