    Hi,

    On my MacBook Pro M3 Max (macOS 15), all VSTs suddenly disappeared from the Library > Instruments tab in Maschine 3.1.1.

    Only Kontakt libraries appear there — but when I try to load them, I get this error:

    "Plugin could not be loaded, as it may not support Apple Silicon or VST2 to VST3 migration."



    VSTs are scanned ok in Preferences but don’t show up in the browser.



    If I load them manually using the “+” button , they work fine.



    I’ve already:



    • Uninstalled Maschine 2 & 3
    • Deleted all prefs, caches, JSON, plist files
    • Removed /Users/Shared/Maschine Central Library
    • Uninstalled Native Access and all NI plugins
    • Tried running in Rosetta – same issue - "vst cannot load"
    few days ego everything work find . I add library "maschine central" I think then the problem start. but i also delete it and the problem still there.

    Same behavior also happens in Komplete Kontrol.



    Any help would be appreciated.



    Thanks,
    Amit

    They still they think Logic users will install another copy of every plugin as VST format. Most developers would consider that as being not " Apple Compatible" when it doesn't work correctly with their own AU plugin format.

    If you install stuff like this which you rely on controlling hardware you use, you should create a backup before you do so. It doesn't sound like you did that. When you install updates to NI products, you are putting a lot of trust in their software not screwing things up. A lot of comments like this begin like " Everything was working fine, but then I updated Native Instruments...." :facepalm:

    Instead of removing all those files manually, you should get WideBlue Sound Audio Plugin Uninstaller to remove stuff in the future. See if the other plugins even open in your DAW directly now.
