    Just installed. I can only load VSL instruments. Why aren't the others showing up? Everything is up to date, 64-bit, and fully installed. Is there a way to force a scan? Also I'm wondering why this isn't mentioned in the documentation at all. You'd think there would be a chapter on that. Why isn't there one? Thanks.

    Welcome,

    That´s strange indeed. Plug-ins on OS X are always in a dedicated folder (Library => Audio => Plugins). You don´t need to assign anything.

    Did you try with the 32bit version of VE PRO yet? Just as a comparison?

    Best,

    Paul

    VE finds effects plugins but not instrument plugins. When I run 64 vs 32 bit versions, the 64 bit effects plugins show up with the 64 bit version, and the 32 bit effects plugins show up with the 32 bit version. Neither scenario finds my instrument plugins. They are located in (System drive) -> Library -> Audio -> Plug-ins -> Components

    Also, where am I supposed to find these in VE? There are icons in the lower left for adding Vienna Instrument and Vinna Instrument Pro plugins. Are other icons supposed to appear down there? Is there anywhere you can tell VE where to look for plugins?

    You won't find a 64bit version of PLAY, because there isn't one on OSX.

    Hang on a minute; do you mean Vienna Ensemble or Vienna Ensemble Pro? AFAIK Vienna Ensemble can't load 3rd part VSTi. Maybe Paul can confirm or deny.

    VE (non-Pro) can indeed only load third party effects, not instruments.

    Just VE, not VE Pro. That sure answers the question. I hope this works well!

    I have Vienna Ensemble Pro and I am having the same problem. VE Cannot see my NI Komplete plug ins. Only will see Kontakt 2?
