You may find that when opening the Maschine software, or when attempting to manually rescan your plug-ins from the Preferences menu, the scan process begins as expected but then becomes unresponsive.
Please select your operating system below for steps to resolve the issue:
TABLE OF CONTENTS
macOS
1. Open Maschine standalone (not in your DAW).
2. Observe the scanning process on the Maschine window. In the upper left, it will show which plug-in is being scanned:
3. Note the plug-in that is being scanned when the Scan App gets stuck or crashes.
4. Remove that plug-in from the following locations (you can simply move it to your desktop):
- MacHD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > VST
- MacHD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > VST3
- MacHD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > Components
5. Open Maschine standalone again. Repeat the process and continue to move any plug-ins that cause the Scan App to crash.
Once all problematic plug-ins have been removed, Maschine will finish its scan and open as expected.
