Can someone please help direct me how to fix my Plug Ins section

shelly

So this morning i tried installing my first 3rd party anything, it was an EQ with visuals since that seems to be one thing Maschine is missing. So i cant remember excactly what i changed (I thought I just added a new folder, not mess with any pre-existing ones) but i got maschine to recognize the new VST and played around with the EQ.

THEN I started a new project... I went to load up my instruments and it seems that specifically Kontakt instruments (piano etc) and Massive Instruments give me the infamous "blank failed to load"

So i tried doing some forum searching and following different things that seemed to have helped others and rescanning to no avail. Can someone please direct me where i should have my locations set and how to put everything into one folder and get my sounds to load in Maschine?

Oddly enough I can load the Gentleman and such in Kontakt and Play freely on the 88 but I can't get any of them to load in Maschine.

Hi @shelly how did it go after checking the plugin location? Worth checking other troubleshooting steps in this article here as well:

MASCHINE 2 Error Message: "Error. *NI Product* could not be loaded" (Windows)

MASCHINE 2 Error Message: "Error. *NI Product* could not be loaded" (Mac)

If the issue persists, please check if there are any duplicate versions of the Massive.dll and delete them.

Sounds like the dreaded "Path to VST3 folder missing". By default, Maschine uses the VST3 version of Kontakt when opening libraries... so go to "Preferences -> Plugins --> Locations" and make sure that there is an entry for "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3"... if not, add it and do a rescan... if that does not work, post a screenshot of the plugin locations in Preferences...
