What’s up guys. I have absynth 5. I installed it thru native access with no issues but it’s not showing up in live 11.I recently went from live 9 suite to 11 suite. I have done everything from redownload,change file paths in ableton and in native access and trying to move folders in windows to no avail. Weird thing is I also installed original massive through native access and it runs in stand alone and shows up in live. can anyone help me out this issue is driving me nuts. Plus I had some sounds from absynth in a current track and I need them to finish.thanks guys.

    Hello,

    absynth is vst2 only so you have to look under the right category.

    Hi, I think I have the same issue. Absynth 5 isn't showing in Ableton 11 or 12, whereas it's working in Reaper or stand alone.

    Even thought Absynth 5 VST is located in custom vst 2 folder in Ableton.

    Thanks for your help ! I loved Absynth many years ago, I think it still has a lot of power.

    @Somaticae Have you tried to reinstall Absynth 5? Make sure you don't have duplicates in the VST folders chosen in Ableton. Also try rescanning the plugins in Ableton. Click and hold "alt" while clicking "Rescan", which will force Ableton to scan ALL plugins,

    Yep, I've done it many times, but I will try again.
