ableton standard 12 + komplete 14 vst3 never functioning/found after month of working

marty_64

all things work in standalone but in ableton komplete kontrol, reactor 6, and massive and massive x all suddenly do not find vst3, when i mess with the vst3 and vst2 locations for hours, sometimes it opens komplete kontrol and i can use it for that session, but if it crashes or i close the project it will not find the vst3 again, and now after a week of trying to fix it fm8 has started not responding on the interface even though it will open it will not change patches as well as after opening fm8 once in a session, if i open another fm8 it will not find the vst3.

yes i have reinstalled everything with no change

yes i have opened the standalone kontrol and scanned the vsts locations before opening it in ableton ( this worked to fix the issue a month ago but now never works)

so long story short, what is the proper way to set up the vsts for ableton?

specifically the common files vst folders vs the 32/64bit native instrument folders.

screenshots welcome of your settings.

im losing my mind at this point because i didnt change anything for the month of it working and now i cant get it to ever work…please save me there are 80 projects hanging in the balance and now i have lost faith in using 3rd party plugins after 10 years of avoiding them for this exact kind of reason

What versions of Native Access and Kontakt/Komplete Kontrol are you using and on what OS?

The place to look is in Native Access to ensure you using the ones downloaded that are sync'd up with the versions of Komplete Kontrol and Kontakt, but from your description it seems odd how you're using it in Ableton. I have a separate section in Ableton for plugins and that's where I have Kontakt and Komplete Kontrol. I just drag one of those instances onto the track I'll be using it on, double click on it and it brings up the interface so I can select the appropriate instrument. As long as the versions are correct with the version of Native Access everything works fine.

In my case I'm on Windows 10 using Kontakt 8, Komplete Kontrol ver 3.3.3 and Native Access 3.14.0.
