Absynth can't load. Apple Silicon error message
Purchased a new Mac Mini M4 which I updated to 15.3.1. I get an error message when using Komplete Kontrol with both Ableton and Logic stating that the Absynth plug in can't be loaded because they aren't compatible with Apple Silicon. I tried enabled Rosetta with Live and I got a different error message saying that the plug in couldn't be found. The plug will load on it's on within Ableton and Logic.
Komplete Kontrol standalone has the same problem if not started with Rosetta bujt will load standalone if I enable Rosetta.
Is Absynth Apple Silicon compatible?

It will load (outside KK) with or without Rosetta 2 in Live if you are using the AU.
If you want to use it inside KK you need to let KK load the VST2 (which may mean adding the path to the VST2 folder and scanning those plugins first in standalone). Which would mean running KK standalone in Rosetta mode as well as Live.

Yes it is compatible using Rosetta 2

Enabling Rosetta would not be enough if you haven't also added the VST2 folder to Komplete Kontrol

I started Live with Rosetta enabled and it still won’t load within Komplete Kontrol. I’m running Sequoia so I’m assuming that Rosetta 2 is the version running when you select the Start with Rosetta option at the Get Info page.
Absynth will start with or without Rosetta if I load it directly (no Komplete Kontrol).0 -

Thank you for correcting me.
I am sure what you write is correct but that was just not what the compatibility overview said :
I will try to do better another time.
@howardost , my apologies for passing on wrong information 🤔

I think that just means it's not 'officially' compatible with Sequoia because obviously it's no longer being updated, but as we know such 'official' compatibility statements are not a reliable indication of whether a product actually works or not.

Absynth does run in Ableton as standalone plug in, and from the OS directly both without Rosetta. It just doesn't run ecapsulated within Komplete Kontrol.

Because - again you need to have Komplete Kontrol scan your VST2 plugins. There is no VST3 of Absynth.
Without this scan it will never work.

That's very true, especially as Komplete Kontrol and the MK3 keyboards aren't on the compatibility list! Plus Maschine 3 is listed as compatible but no Maschine hardware is compatible.
It's a bit like the Pirate Code, it's more what you call "guidelines" than actual rules.
