I'm disappointed Massive X won't run on my new MacBook

    Just trying to scan the VST3 from Ableton shuts the software down. Opening a new project, adding an instance of Massive X AU shuts it down immediately as well. It's such a great synth, I wish I could actually use it.

    Yeah, got one on a good deal when I needed a new laptop after my old music laptop PC died. Wish I had done better research and checked if Massive X was actually compatible, but didn't think that far! Still disappointed in how long it takes, and specially that the July 1st update didn't even touch on it.

    MX uses special processor instructions that are not present in tne new M1 processor neither in the Rosetta 2 Apple Intel emulation software. So it’s not a trivial task unfortunately.
