Hey cuties

In max 8, I could host NI plugins

Now I am opening Max 9 to build a VST tester, and upon loading the first step, neither VST~ or MC.VST~ is allowing me to host

if i am not mistaken you are trying to load the standalone.

That makes sense, I didn’t realize they were ~different things~

Guess I need to dig around where NI puts all the internal files

Got it. In the hidden library

Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/

Source Audio's icon

that folder is not invisible, max also has vstscan object, look into help file of it

btw. NI standalones are VST hosts which also simply utilize the plug-ins. :)

i´ve hacked mine and run third party plug-ins in it as standalone.
