• Download and install the update.
  
• The Cakewalk VST Adapter must be run after it is installed. Previous settings from your older adapter are not migrated into the new adapter, but instead will be saved with your old adapter. DXi hosts will continue to use the older VST-DX Adapter until the Cakewalk VST Adapter wizard has been run and installed VSTi’s have been reregistered Please note this installer does not uninstall older VST-DX adapters.
