I have faithfully followed the video tutorial on setting up and using VSTs, but am having no luck.

For example, I am trying to set up the "Bass" instrument to run through the Aria Player. I open the "VST/DX Synths/Plugins (synth in first slot" dialog box and select th drop-down for Plugin.

When I scroll to the bottom of the list and select "Add VST Plugin", then navigate to and select "ARIA Player VST_x86.dll", nothing happens. The Aria UI does not appear, and it is not added to the list of available plugins.

However, the "Piano" instrument already shows the Aria Player (and "Coyote"), but none of the other plugins that show up on the "Bass" are present. Maybe they aren't germane to the other instruments?

Anyway, Piano, Melody, Soloist, Thru, and Default Synth all show the Aria Player and Coyote.

Why does this not work for the other instruments?
