FM8

If it weren't so sad, you could laugh about it: Apple releases a new operating system after numerous beta versions were previously in circulation. Many developers already had new - and compatible - versions of their software on the day of the release. For Native Instruments, however, macOS Ventura apparently came as a…

Hi i just buy FM8 I can't install it on my mac, i tried to install Daemon and uninstall Nothing change..

Hello, I have Ableton 10 and NI Komplete 9. I installed everything and when I want to use FM8 and/or Massive, I get always the activation window. I click on activate, Native Access popped up and I can see, that they are activated. But when I for example close Ableton and later I want to work on my song, than I have again…

It's 2023. As popular and terrific as the TX81Z was (and it's siblings, the DX11 and Yamaha V50 in particular), it's disheartening not to find a decent, supported VST for this wonderful device. FM8 is an amazing tool from NI, but it's not compatible with SysEx from the YM2414B aka OPZ-based FM synths. Recreating patches in…

I just found out, that in my Cakewalk project FM8 will always load with MIDI CC 7 and 10 assigned. I would need it to load without at least CC 7. Am I missing something here?

Hi, (Owner of Massive / FM8) My DAW is Reaper which allows me to automate most tasks in the DAW with computer code. I want to write a script that automatically loads new tracks with the synth patch I desire. In order to do this I need to obtain the synth paramterers in human readable format so that I then can modify the FX…

This seems a bit weird to me, and I've found a workaround already, but I thought I'd post and ask the question to see if anyone else recognizes this issue. I had a MIDI track in Cubase 12 Pro with piano performance data on MIDI channel 9, completely with plenty of use of the sustain pedal as CC 64 also on MIDI channel 9.…

Hi, I use FM8 to play DX e-pianos in GigPerformer & Reaper. I noticed that sometimes, the sustain pedal happened to turn off. At first, I thought that it could be a hardware problem. Later, I noticed that when I played a layered patch, the other instruments still have sustain on, while FM8 doesn't. Then I turned on the…

I have recently switched by to Mac and I am running Ventura on my system. I have no patches/presets in my FM8 installation and I am trying to install third party presets for Razor which are as below. The problem is that I no longer have a Documents folder on the Mac. It seems to have been moved to iCloud. Does anyone have…

HY.. any software that can batch convert multiple NI FM8 KSD files at once ??

I purchased FM8 from Plugin Boutique a few months ago, but for various reasons, have only now had the opportunity to try to install it. On my Plugin Boutique account, it lists the FM8 plugin and shows 2 serial numbers. In both cases, I clicked on "Add Serial" and entered the number. In both cases, I received the message…

hi, i haven't used FM8 for a while. when i opened it today, it did not load the presets. i checked, presets are in their respective folders. i rebuilt the database - to no avail. i tried to load a preset via "load preset", but all presets (.ksd)are greyed out and can't be selected. whats going on?

Hello everyone, I wonder why the Pitchwheel is not moving when pitch is assigned to a knob on a hardware-controller. Any idea why? I mean it works but the change is only shown under Master & Expert in the Navigator panel:

I'm doing a complete clean install to a new MOBO/CPU/SSD drive -- Windows 10, Pro Tools 11, Komplete U13, etc. Launching Pro Tools, as everything is loading, I get an error: boost::filesystem::create_directory: The system cannot find the path specified [system:3]: "C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Native Instruments\FM8" Pro…

Like so many people I recently got FM8 as a result of the amazing deal at Plugin Boutique. I can get it recognized in Cakewalk but when I try to use Bespoke Synth (actually synth and DAW) then while it can recognize almost all the other VST3 I have (things like Dexed) even if I tell it the directory where FM8.dll is…
