hello!

i've long used reaper but just now switched to ableton. loving it otherwise but it won't locate my precious massive. it's the vst i mostly work my synths on and can't possibly be arsed to find my way round operator... picks out other vsts with ease, just not massive. why? :u:

hm did you put your vst folder outside your users folder like folder c\vsts\massive

some vsts have trouble with folder inside users folder hm otherwise try to check google i found nearly every problem i had with not only music stuff but you have to type tricky sometimes

Ableton is still 32 Bit, have you installed a 64 Bit version of Massive ?

If so either install the 32 Bit Version, or use bridging software such as jbridge

Also ableton can only pick up on one VST folder, so is Massive installed in the same folder as the rest of your VST's ?

BTW you should really take the time to learn Operator, It can be a beast when mastered!

Hope this helps

umm i have it where i have most of my other VST's and they load up just fine.. but yeah it is inside an user folder. but i tried it having the folder elsewhere as well, didn't pan out either.

how can i get the 32 bit version? does it come with the package? cheers anyway!

To be honest I don't use Massive so I don't know, it was just a guess based on previous freeware synths Etc that i've used which where 64 Bit, but correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Reaper 64 Bit ?

Also I've just looked on NI's site and can't see any mention for bit versions for Massive, so I'd assume they both came in the package, but again I'm just guessing
