Retrologue 2 Trial - How to revert back to Retrologue 1

Problem

During the trial period of Retrologue 2 and after the trial license has expired a previously used Retrologue 1 is not accessible anymore.

Cause

Most Steinberg plug-ins do not have a dedicated internal version number to differentiate all available versions. Therefore, Retrologue 2 is overwriting the existing Retrologue version during the installation. 
Usually, this is not an issue but helps avoid the usage of different plug-in versions accidentally.

Solution

In case the Retrologue 2 trial period hasn't been convincing, the instrument needs to be removed from the system. Afterward, Retrologue 1 can be reinstalled.

Retrologue 1 user presets that had been made before the Retrologue 2 installation will remain available. No user presets will be deleted by the Retrologue 2 installation!

These are the necessary steps:

Mac OS X

Manually delete the files below. Then reinstall Retrologue 1 from this location.

  • Mac OS X/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Steinberg -> Retrologue (VST)
  • Mac OS X/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components -> Retrologue (AU)

Windows

Uninstall "Retrologue" using the regular Windows option under "Control Panel > Programs and Features". Then reinstall Retrologue 1 from this location.
