Problem With Absynth 5 & Ableton

hello guys
My friend tossed me a copy of Absynth 5 just recently and I tried installing it like other plug-ins before it but there is one issue that persists
It won`t show up in the ableton plug-ins list even though I did rescan the plug-ins in the `preferences` of ableton but still it wouldn`t show up
but it does show up while clicking the icon thru `application` folder
sending pics to better illustrate the problem

after installing it, it is only possible to open it via `application` folder

will appreciate the insight, maybe i am not doing something right

 

You have the program installed but is plugin installed correctly?
Is there Absynth.component in MacHD/Library/audio/components?
What about VST version, does it show up in Ableton?

 

yeah((

absynth 5 vst doesn't show up in ableton, that`s why I am at my wit`s end

 

Is your Ableton Live 32 or 64 bits?
Maybe they are different bits, one is 32 bits one is 64?
Can you confirm they are both same?

 

Try doing a force rescan by holding the Alt/Option-key while clicking the [Rescan] button:

Otherwise try this:
1) Disable the Use Audio Units option under Preferences
2) Restart Live
3) Enable the Use Audio Units option again
4) Restart Live again (just in case)

 

tried as you suggested, still not visible(

 

ableton is 64 bits
don`t know if absynthe is 32 or 64, can you please let me know how I can find that out???
(it can be launched separately though, via `application`)
not visible in ableton plug-ins/VST section

 

IDK, sorry
It was just a general knowledge: "if a plugin is 32 bit and DAW is 64 bit (or visa versa) plugin doesnt appear in host."
But idk how to check if a plugin is 32 or 64 bits..
I'd contact tech support..

 

In Absynth click on the NI Logo in the top right corner (or click on the menu Absynth 5 -> About).
If it shows Processor: x64 at the top, it runs in 64-bit mode.

In addition have a look at this article: https://support.native-instruments....ations-and-Plug-ins-on-OS-X-32-64-bit-Systems

You can also check the install paths for Absynth in Service Center -> Overview Tab: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/210290265-What-is-Service-Center-

Otherwise check if there are any Absynth updates available. Or launch the latest Absynth installer again and make sure that all the necessary plugins are selected for installation. Besides using Service Center or Native Access, you can download updates manually from here (after you login with your account): https://www.native-instruments.com/en/support/downloads/update-manager/

If this doesn't solve the problem, contact NI Support directly: http://www.native-instruments.com/en/company/contact-ni/
