    Anyone else noticed this? Not getting any sound from any part with an FM-X generator?
    Mac M1 Pro, Sequoia

    All the FM-X voices work fine for me. Mac M1 Pro, Sequoia.

    Though I don't think I'm using VR's release, so maybe it is that if they don't work for you.

    i'm not using either. But a few notes from users of VRs v3.0.1 release mention needing SIP disabled and problems with it in various DAWs. One poster mentioned it working in REAPER when others were not working correctly.

    I think VR may not even mention disabling SIP anymore because most of the Steinberg releases all need it disabled.

    just some info.

    Yes, I had to fully disable SIP to get it to install properly. The AU scans up OK in FL, but not in GarageBand. In FL everything works fine, but the FM-X generator is silent.

    So it ends up the polyphony for the FM-X (Settings page) has been set to zero in this release… setting it to 128 solves the issue.

    I'm using the Steinberg Patcher method. Doesn't require disabling SIP either. Works great for all the Steinberg stuff.
