Ableton 12 only shows VSTs by manufacturers. Cabbage VSTs do not have a manufacturer. Is there a way around this? I would love to use cabbage examples in my music and I just installed Ableton 12 so I’m in a bit of a bind.
Ableton not recognizing cabbage vst?
Cabbage VSTs should be listed under Cabbage Audio. Are you on a Mac or Windows?
Im on mac
Did you sign the plugin?
Yeah I think so. I emabled the ad hoc sign setting in cabbage but its still not appearing for some reason.
Can you try manually signing it? The ad-hoc signing feature in Cabbage can be a little hit and miss. Here is a little script I use to sign my plugins.
Thanks. I’m not a coder but I tried to manually sign one of them. I opened terminal and copied the code in with the appropriate location information for one of the vsts (I assumed I was supposed to just copy/paste the location information from the “get info” section of the VST). I tried it a couple times. One time with the extension .vst3 and one time without. each time the process showed “complete” so I assume there were no errors. However, when I opened Ableton and ran a deep scan for VSTS with the custom location the VST didn’t show up. I’m lost. Maybe I didn’t sign the plugin correctly?
The following is what I inputted into terminal. Am I totally confused about this?
if [ “$#” -ne 1 ]; then
echo “Error: No plugin file provided.”
echo “Usage: $0 /Users/christophermasciari/Music/VST3/Cabbage Audio/Cabbage Audio Instruments.Bar Model.vst3”
exit 1
fi
codesign -s - “$1” --timestamp --force --deep
You need only run the bash script, e.g. ./adhoc.sh plugin.vst3, alternatively, just do:
codesign -s - plugin.vst3 --timestamp --force --deep
To verify, you can run codesign -v plugin.vst3, all the tim replacing plugin.vst3 with the actuallly path to the plugin.
