[BUG] VST3 not showing up in Ableton Live on MacOS

[jonahclarsen]

Describe the bug
After installing the .vst3 files to the appropriate directory, the effect doesn't appear in Ableton Live. The AU version works fine.

System Info

• M2 Macbook Air, MacOS 13.1
• Ableton Live 11.2.7
• v1.1.0

Hi,

I might have a solution for you: You'll find the Plug-Ins when running Ableton through Rosetta 2.

I guess the plug-in is conflicting with the m1/m2 chip architecture?

Tested on:

• m1 MacBook pro macOS 13.1
• Ableton Live 11.2.5

Ah, thank you for that - it's likely that the VST has only been compiled for Intel CPUs and not for Apple Silicon ones. Unfortunately I can't use Rosetta 2 because it makes my projects much slower. Thanks anyway though, hopefully the devs can compile it for both.

++! Please, compile vst3 for apple architecture

Indeed, the provided binaries of the project are compiled as x86_64 only:

file ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/DDSP\ Effect.vst3/Contents/MacOS/DDSP\ Effect /Users/user/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/DDSP Effect.vst3/Contents/MacOS/DDSP Effect: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64
