Solved Magnetic Coast not loading half of kits in Maschine 2

So I have a Maschine MKIII and use Studio One 4. All of my Factory Selection presets and kits work perfectly and fine and no issues..but i bought the new Magnetic Coast expansion and a lot of the kits say "Loading Fail" when i try to load it. I have all the most updated versions (as per native access tells me). Whats interesting is if i right click the kit..(like Aces Kit) And click Find in Explorer it finds it no problem. So it knows where the kit is, but why won't it load it? What else could it be needing or looking for. Anyone figure this out? Googled a bunch of posts but none of them have worked so far

I did notice something interesting..if i click Maschine 2 in Studio One and click the info for it, it tells me it's using 2.8.7.. But in Native Access it's telling me Maschine is updated to 2.9.2. Does this have anything to do with it?

They are probably Battery Kits and require Battery 4 to be installed to use. That is one of the things that is unclear (or totally confusing) about the expansions... the product page for MC lists the number of included Battery kits, but does not list which ones they are...

hope that clarifies it... I know it does not solve the problem!

Edit: I just checked and there are 46 Maschine kits and 51 Battery kits... and it states that Battery 4 is required...

I actually have Battery Installed. So another clue or way to narrow it down..is if I use Maschine 2 standalone (without any DAW) all the kits load perfectly fine. It's when I use it within a DAW they don't load..

 

Ok I figured it out and posting what i had to do for future people. So I noticed something was off when my Studio One 4 version of Maschine was not the updated version. I went and uninstalled Maschine 2, went through every single folder i can find that Studio one is loading VSTs from and found Duplicate .dll files of Maschine! Deleted those. Reinstalled. Everything loads perfectly now

 

Hmmm...Interesting, What Daw are you using... And is the VST for Maschine used in the Daw then same version as the standalone? That would be the first thing to check... and not sure if it matters, but it may, If you load Battery 4 as its own plugin (not through Maschine) in your DAW, does it work as expected?

Just some Troubleshooting suggestions!!

Ahh the Dreaded "Duplicate mismatched VST versions" error... glad you got it sorted.

I've recently experienced the same with Kits from other expansions running Maschine in Reaper, I will try and see if this helps. Thanks
