POD Farm and windows 7 64 bit with SONAR 8.5.1 64 bit

I have a UX2 and POD Farm with all model packs. It works fine in Windows 7 64 with a 32 bit host(minihost) however, in SONAR 64 it has a strange problem where when you select a preset, some of the elements(such as amps or effects) are not enabled even though they indicate enabled and even if you disable and reenable(clicking the "power" button on the display for that amp or effect) the amp or effect don't work. I have tried this with bitbridge(native to SONAR) and Jbridge(another 32 to 64 bit vst wrapper). Any ideas?
2nd question: Is there a native 64 bit version of PODfarm coming? Thx.

Hello,
That is an odd problem. We're not supporting 7 at this time so you may have stumbled upon a bug.
I know that when we first released POD Farm it did not work with Sonar when the 64 but engine was enabled in Sonar.
That has been fixed at least in Vista but I'm not sure about 7.
Does this happen on all presets? Do you have a recipe you can provide for me so I can try to replicate it?

I actually have new behavior today...NONE of the effects will work.
Sure, here's the recipie:
Running Win 7 64 on an i920 system with 6GB Ram. Lynx L22 card with build 017 RC3 drivers. Buffer size: 64(buffer size doesn't seem to affect this problem).
Open SONAR 8.5.1.
Create a new project(I used the normal template)
Setup a sound source(I used DimPro 64)
Right click and insert Pod Farm into the fx bin for the audio track for the sound source(you can try this with bitbridge or jbridge in the plugin manager, it doesn't seem to make a difference)
The first thing I notice is that Pod Farm takes a loooong time to load...much longer than usual. It does load tho and is on "Default".
Play the sound souce to verify Pod Farm works...should be a nice clean sound and the Pod Farm meters should move.
Now select Presets->POD farm->Guitar and start to try different presets(I picked 60's Stones Fuzz, 60's hard Rock, 60's Space). The effects don't engage. You can try and enable them individually but they do nothing to the sound which stays at default.
If I run the standalone version, it works. Very strange.

Hello,
Does POD Farm work at all in your 64 bit environment without wrapping it?
Line6Miller
I just did some more testing...the standalone also has problems...but more random. Almost every dual preset that I tried had everything turned off even though they indicated on. I would have to turn them off, then on, then adjust a parameter to get them to work. Some delay effects like tape echo simply don't work at all. This is the standalone, no wrapper. It doesn't work with a wrapper of any kind either. Have you guys tried this on your own development machines? Is this something unique to my setup for some reason?
Best,
Andy
