DMXIS VST2 and Ableton 11.1 Universal not compatible

Post by SOONAGO »

Hello.

Ableton 11.1 (Universal) can not be run with DMXIS (VST2), "cannot be found".
Do i have to exchange all DMXIS instances with "Audio Units" DMXIS plugins and ditch the VST2's?

So long,
Niklas

From https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/artic ... -Live-11-1

When used on an Apple Silicon computer, the Universal build of Live 11.1 only recognizes VST2 and VST3 plug-ins natively compiled for Apple Silicon. However, many Intel-based Audio Unit plug-ins will display and load...

So yes, it appears that if your Mac has an M1 chip, you need to use the DMXIS Audio Unit with Live 11.

Hi,

Indeed, VST2 cannot be found with my M1 also (Live 11.1).
I transferred all my automations on DMXIS AU (copy/paste) with my Intel Hack, it's working fine.
Then I transferred the project on my M1 : The automations are grey and aren' t moving. Can't do anything with it.
Same thing if I use the DMXIS Instrument (instead of the DMXIS AU).
I did this process directly on the M1, same result !

By 2 ways (which are the same in the end) :
_with "configure" button from ableton.
_clicking directly the DMXIS fader (for showing the automation on Ableton, then paste the automation wanted).

I also started another project on the M1 (so without doing copy/paste), some faders are not fallowing the automations (and there are not showing on Ableton).

But the plugin is working : if I move manually the faders directly on the plugin, lights fallow.
So I think there is a miscommunication between automations and the plugin DMXIS.

Any idea ? Thank a lot !
(I hope I'm clear ;) )

Opening Ableton live 11.1 with Rosetta 2 makes the DMXIS.vst2 working.
So it's a back up.
But it would be great to have the plugin AU working fine (without using rosetta), and have Ableton natively on M1.
