Ableton Forum

Dear forum members,

I recently bought Ableton Live 11 Suite (11.3.21) in combination with MacOs Ventura.
Now I would like install this Plug-In Rave Generator 2
https://blog.wavosaur.com/rave-generato ... the-house/
But unfortunately this VST would not work in Ableton 11 (other VST's are no problem)
Location is HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/ (and then rescan etc. etc.)
What i am doing wrong?
Does it have any effect on the bit version of Ableton 32 or 64 bit ? and where can I see which version I am running of Ableton?
So yes? Can I change this?

Maybe you can help me a little bit furtherhelp you can help me a little further
Thanks in advance
All the best,

Nobody?

Hi,

I installed rave generator 2 a while back with no issues. Are you on MacOS or windows?

Hi,
Thnx for your reaction
I'm working on MacOs
I see the plug-in recognized in Ableton (rescan left under), but it is not in the list (plug ins) :-/

I had the same issue after Installing Live 12 and a macOS Update.

The thing is that this Plug-in is not "Apple Certified".

So you will need to "quarantine" the Apple certification on the AU (.componant) and the VST2 (.vst)

To do this :

Open the Terminal and type/paste :

For the VST.

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/RaveGenerator2.vst

For the AU.

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/RaveGenerator2.component

After hitting "enter" on the terminal, as it is a "sudo" command, the terminal will ask for your session password. It is normal you don't see it on screen when you type.

Thanks man,

Managed to get it working by using the terminal, however only as AU not VST.
Still works fine though.
For anyone else struggling use the terminal then in Ableton preferences turn on us Audio Units V2 and rescan.

For me the fix for this issue was arming Live 12 to open with Rosetta
(Press CMD + I, or right-click on the file, and select "Get Info."
In the Info window that opens, check the box for “Open using Rosetta."
Close the Info window and re-launch Live.)

none of this is working for me. not sure what to do. super frustrating. very strange. never had a problem like this in the past.

any other wild ideas?

--EDIT--

15 minutes after opening w/ rosetta, it finished scanning and now it's finally working. what a hilarious and an amazing plugin. so glad i stuck with it.

This VST doesn’t work in Ableton because it’s an older plugin compiled only for Intel CPUs, not the newer Apple Silicon architecture. The only way to use it in Ableton is as an AU, since AUs can be emulated via Rosetta.

Not Rosetta. Apple has an AU Host helper that does the bridging.

Hey I saw you are having some issues, We grabbed a lot of samples and set them up in a ableton rack.

You can check it https://bit.ly/3L9Llz6, might be a solution until you get the plug in working
