Missing (grayed out) Virtual Instruments!

Post by Project Nairb 1 »

So today when I attempted to load up a virtual synth, I noticed that most of them are grayed out and I cannot select them! I have no idea why, I havent relocated files or installed/uninstalled anything. The components are all still there where they should be. The list just shows a majority of my VI's (au, mas, and vst) grayed out. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks alot, i know i've seen posts on similar topics in the past, but im having trouble finding the same sort of problem on the forum. Thanks for your help :)

Make sure sure the outputs of your VIs are assigned to active outs.

Your bundles may be corrupted. Try reconfiguring your audio bundles.

Actually, come to think of it, I have seen a similar problem before in which the presets on the VI's were corrupted. I reconfigured the presets in the VI's, and they all worked again, and DP stopped crashing.

Thanks! the bundles thing helped. I did mess with them before this all happened. I do have a song that is still crashing, but i think that i just need to add a bundle that i took away. thanks again!
