in Maschine

I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out because I can't open the Xpand!2 plugin in Maschine 3 because it doesn't show up in the list of plugins. It works fine in Maschine 2 and both Maschine versions are set to look in the same plugin folders so I have no idea what could be causing this.

    Did you check that the Xpand!2 VST2/VST3 folders has been added in the Maschine 3 scan paths ?

    E.g. check for Xpand!2 VST 2 in C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins\ (which is where the AirMusic installer might put it) and check for Xpand!2 VST3 in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 (depending on what is your install path)(the VST3 is a system location and should not be changed)

    Else then try reinstalling Xpand!2 using the 2024 update that I linked to.

    My immediate guess is that you have not downloaded and installed the 2024 XPAND! 2 update (which provides VST3 support)(look down the page for the 2024 update)

    No, I wish that was the case because that would have been an easy fix.

    I feel kinda stupid now because I was sure I had the correct installer because I was using the VST3 version in Maschine 2 😏

    But after installing the update you linked to, it now also works in Maschine 3 so I thank you 🤗
