Renoise crashes trying to load Korg MS-20 Plugin

Help, Support & Bugs

Hey guys,

I’ve been trying to use the Legacy Collection (specifically the MS-20 plugin) within Renoise instead of using it in Reaper or as a standalone program, but when I start Renoise after having installed the plugin, it crashes. In the log, I get the following error message:

VstPlugs: Trying to instantiate ‘/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/KORG/MS-20.vst/Contents/MacOS/MS-20’…

VstPlugs: Plugin is a Mach-O executable…

VstPlugs: Instantiate FAILED (MagicMatch failed - is no VST Plugin) !!!

VstPlugs: CreateInstance FAILED

VstPlugs: Trying to instantiate ‘/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/KORG/MS-20FX.vst/Contents/MacOS/MS-20FX’…

VstPlugs: Plugin is a Mach-O executable…

VstPlugs: Instantiate FAILED (MagicMatch failed - is no VST Plugin) !!!

From the CachedFailedVSTs_x64.db file:

I’ve already deleted the db-files to try and reload it several times and reinstalled the plugin, but it didn’t solve anything. What does that error message mean and how can it be fixed?

I am running macOS Sierra version 10.12.6 (the newest). It’s the most recent plugin version (1.3.1) and Renoise is up to date as well. This problem ONLY exists within Renoise. It runs fine in Reaper.

Thanks in advance!

Try to load the AU version first. Does it work? If so, does loading of the VST then works?

Weird, this actually did solve the issue, thanks alot :slight_smile: ! Just curious: Why does it behave that way?

Absolutely no idea. It is like that since 10.11 I think. I workaround by putting those AUs into the template song, which will be loaded on every start of Renoise.

Oh well, anyways, thanks!
