Massive X extremely slow to load

AliasNess

Massive X is extremely slow to load in FL and Ableton Live. It makes me reach for the original Massive instead because the original's UI is so snappy. I'm on an M1 Max MBP with plenty of RAM and harddrive space. If anyone has any tips to get Massive X's loading sped up I'd be happy to try them.

Thanks!

@AliasNess Does FL Studio has full disk access ? How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS

You could also try resetting Massive X's database, as explained in this article: Some Presets are Missing in MASSIVE X

I'll check these when I'm back home. It does eventually load with all my presets and banks, it's just slow to do so. It takes about 15 seconds or so to fully load the UI, which is too slow for everyday use IMO.

@AliasNess Any update? Is Massive X still super slow to load?

Hi Jeremy,

I made a video for you to see the performance difference in Bitwig between the original Massive and Massive X. As you can see, I granted Bitwig and FL Studio full disk access. The load speed is BAD on the first load, but seems to get better on additional loads. It seems to me like UI takes a long time to render upon first load.
