I have some issues with Keyscape on my Mac, When I load Keyscape vst in Ableton, the sounds are showing (no Steam folder problems) but as soon as I try a sound, one or sometimes two messages appears : "Requested file is not a sample file..." and then the Finder path and the .wav file. Pretty weird but as soon as it leaves, I can sometimes play the instrument. Even weirder, for the Double Felt Grand Instrument (all its presets) and ONLY for it, no messages appear and I can play it perfectly.

But yeah there is no sound for some instruments like the LA Custom C7 even tho I have the 14.93Gb file on my computer (no external drive) and there is sound for the Clavinet C but I can't find the file in /Keyboards/.

I read online that to make it work, some people just deleted the zmap.index file (I have two of them in User tag and in Keyscape Library so I don't even know which one has to go), put the "Keyboards" folder alone , create a "Multis" Folder...None of these worked for me.



Anyone knows what I'm dealing with ?

Hello @Djraoul, try:

1. Go (to STEAM \ Keyscape \ Soundsources \ Factory \ Keyscape Library) and delete zmap..index
2. Run the plugin and Refresh soundsource browser.

 

Now I have the "no soundsource" message for all the instruments and no sound at all...
My path is User/Library/Application Support/Spectrasonics/STEAM... Should I use an external drive instead ?
Also I've notice that my Keyscape Vst is not fully updated and that I don't have the app (it doesn't change anything in my case)
Any ideas ?

 

External drive for the STEAM library, only recommended if you don't have enough hard drive space.
If that doesn't work either, you should completely uninstall and reinstall it.

2 things to test
remanent earlier installations (somewhere on the system)
not all updates installed correctly, like soundsource & Library <>
