FM8 in Mainstage 3.5.2 incompatible Audio Unit

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Is FM8 v1.4.4 incompatible with Mainstage 3.5.2? I get the below warning each time I start Mainstage. I can find the plugin in the AU Instruments - Incompatible list and it does open correctly.

@wsalembi Let's try this way (and in that exact order):

Delete the FM8 component from it's folder: Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > Components
Open Mainstage
Close Mainstage
Make sure that Mainstage has Full Disk Access: How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS
Reinstall FM8 in Native Access
Open Mainstage

Did that work out?

What is your operating system ? Have you tried to open FM8 in standalone ? Is it working there?

Have you tried reinstalling it?

I'm using MacOS Big Sur 11.3.1. The plugin works but Mainstage gives the error at startup and adds the instrument to the AU Instruments -> Incompatible folder.

Do you have a M1 computer or is it an Intel? If it's a M1 you need to run Mainstage in Rosetta mode: How to Open Your DAW Using Rosetta

Hi @Jeremy_NI , It is an INTEL i7 Mac Pro from 2017. You don't recognize this AU validation error?
