i've just installed absynth (on a powerbook - os x). how do i get it to show up in live as an audio unit?


thanks.

Hi twitch,
what version OSX and Absynth you running ?

Does it show up as a vst plugin ?

i'n running 10.3.7 and absynth 2.0. it's not showing up as a vst. it was all working fine on my old powerbook but i'm just setting up a new one and no joy.

Do an apple search for the absynth vst plugin

the vst directory for the postion of the absynth VST plugin (not Au) should be

main hardrive for osx

then go to libary

then got to Audio

then got to plugins

then got to vst

Place the Absynth plugin in vst folder

as below




i really dont know why it wouldnt have installed the plugins in the correct place to begin with but perhaps this will get you up and running for the meantime.
i am also runnign 10.3.7 and updated to absynth 3 from 2 on friday and it went perfectly.
Mail native instruments if its not hapennin

Did u reinstall absynth from the cd or did u do one of those mac osx firewire data transfer setups ( cant remember the name) where it dumps all the settings and data from your old mac hardrive onto your new hardrive ?

i reinstalled from the cd. i'll keep fiddling and thanks for yr time and help!

no problem ur welcome
