Symptom
When opening the Maschine 2 software or trying to manually perform a plug-in rescan in the Preferences, Maschine starts scanning the available plug-ins and then gets stuck or crashes.
Solutions
macOS
1. Open Maschine 2 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 2 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 2 will finish its scan and open as expected.
