NI releasing last bunch of plugins into m1 world, and both Kontakt 7 and new released Massive X have same problem. This doesnt happen in Reaper or in Ableton.

Steps:

  • load massive x vst3
  • close gui window
  • try to open window again

For what it’s worth, it doesn’t happen with the AU version (I don’t install any VST or VST3 version of plugins)

There are multiple reports of various VST3 problems with these new NI plugins versions so I’d wait for another update and check then, there doesn’t seem to be any solution now.

Thank you for this comment. Au works and im not attached to using vst3.

btw, NI also updated Massive X a couple of days ago to native AS. It’s now universal binary and quite a bit more CPU efficient and the UI also feels snappier.

yeah and this native was crashing, thats why i made this thread, Massive x didnt work at all in rosetta, because it needed avx instructions that m1 m2 doesnt have.

New Kontakt 7.1.13 fixed this bug, they did even mention Renoise by name. [Massive x still have problem but if they are aware and fixed here they will fix it there also, so its resolved in my mind]
FIXED Plug-in window would not re-open after being closed in Renoise with Kontakt VST3
