does anyone know how i can bypass the vst scan on maschine mk3 startup? it's starting to take a lengthy while waiting for it to scan all plugins
Press the Esc key.
I tried doing this and it doesn't work
You should not.
Once it is done correctly, Maschine will open in few seconds. Until you change something (add new plugin etc. etc.). Then it will re-scan again but much faster.
If not done, it will re-scan again and again, every time you open the app.
If not done, un-scanned plugins will not appear in your instrument/effects list.
No matter how many times you wait for the scan to complete, every single time you open the Maschine software it scans again. It may be quicker, but it still happens.
Therefore, once you've done the initial scan, the only way to get past the scan next time is to hit Esc. (which does work).
Over the years there have been many posts from users complaining about the startup scan, so it definitely is an issue - which NI supposedly improved recently with "four times faster" parallel scanning.
People have questioned why Maschine behaves this way when other VST hosting software does not.
With 400 plugins (more or less) on my PC:
My Maschine opens in 4-5 seconds,
Ableton opens in 7,
Cubase opens in 11-12 seconds
(all above values are not standard, they can be faster or slower each time, depending on the case, but those, are the most often results)
So, i can not really understand why people complaining… Unless, if this is not a standard issue for everyone (for me, it is definitely not). But in this case, their delay should be causing by their systems, not by Maschine itself. If it was a bug it would be much-much more common among users.
For me:
Ableton Live 12 Suite = 19 seconds
Maschine 3 = 47 seconds
