    It appears that Maschine has not scanned and added the Massive X VST3 plugin. By default Maschine uses the VST3 plugin when loading NKS Presets. Here is a link to an article about Plugin paths on Mac (its an Ableton Article, but the VST 3paths shown would be valid for Maschine as well as Any other DAW on Mac.

    Using AU and VST plug-ins on Mac – Ableton

    Make sure that the path to your VST 3 plugins is listed for scanning in Preferences -> Plugins -> Locations.

    once the path is added, do a rescan and all should be good!
