Instruo won't show up in Library

[Yeager (Peter Vos)]

You are probably using the x64 Standalone and the ARM64 vst version of Rack2 and Instuo are not ported to ARM64 yet.

Is there a workaround for Mac users? After latest update my instruo library disappeared because ARM64 version of the app. there seems to be no other option to install, so does that mean I have to wait for instruo to update modules? or is there a way to work around it?

VCV Rack 2.4.0 released

Yes, you can have both installed at once. Download and install VCV Rack 2 x64 version Rename the installed application file to VCV Rack 2 x64.app Download and install VCV Rack 2 ARM64 version Rename the installed application file to VCV Rack 2 ARM64.app You don’t have to rename both of them. But you need to rename at least the first one you install so the second one doesn’t replace the first one when it installs.

You need to install both 2.5.2 ARM64 and 2.5.2 X64 so you’ll be able to use the instruo on version 2.5.2 X64 until they update.

Dual ARM64/x64 with Rack 2.5.2?

Prior to v2.5 I was able to install both ARM64 and x64 versions on my M1 MacBook Air. That was pretty simple since there were separate installers for each, and I simply renamed each exe after installation to keep them apart. But now with v2.5 there is a single download for both. When I run the installer it creates the ARM64 version. Does anyone know how to direct the installer to create an x64 version?

plenty of work arounds. Use modules that work on ARM. i.e. most of them.

if we’re talking about instruo, their whole current library ain’t working on ARM64

[Squinky]

Yes, of course. That’s the title of the post. Everyone here is well aware that they are one of the few hold-outs who have never updated their modules, and they are one of the few closed source ones.

I just meant that depending on what people’s needs are, they might have more musical satisfaction finding alternative modules that have not been abandoned, rather than trying to cobble together an intel installation just for this.

But of course people will and should do what makes the most sense for them.

yep in the end that’s what i went for. discovered some great modules browsing library. just as with any other hardware clones, instruo are a nice start up point into vcv from hardware, to sort of narrow down the huge library that you can get lost in. but i agree, with some research, i DID find alternatives
