Just a heads up in case anyone else has done some wailing and rending of beard regarding this...
When creating a virtual instrument track, punch multi would never show up in my plugins list. Only the single output version was present. Since i only use the multi-out version, this was somewhat irritating.
The solution:
Move Punch.dll out of your vst plugins folder (put it somewhere where DP won't scan for plugins). Leave the PunchMulti.dll in place.
Start DP, and it will now show the multi out version of Punch.
I've reported this as a techlink and to RP, but am somewhat curious as to why this is happening. GPO4's ARIA player shows both single and multi output versions in the list.

You can also just rename the PunchMulti.dll, at which point, IT will be the only one that shows up in the picklist. Pretty peculiar.
Working with MOTU/RP to get it sorted
