How to Load Native Instrument Sessions with Waves VST3 Plugins

Jun 24, 2024

Important Notes:

The VST 2 plugin format is not supported with Waves from V15.

If you’re using V14 or below, we highly recommend using VST3 plugins in new sessions from now on, and migrating plugins in old sessions to VST3.

To load Komplete Kontrol or Maschine sessions saved with VST2.4 format Waves plugins in the new VST3 format, follow the instructions below:

  1. Save the session and quit Komplete Kontrol or Maschine.
  2. Remove the VST2.4 Waveshell file/s from:
    Mac: Mac HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST
    Windows: C:\Program Files\VSTPlugIns
  3. Launch Komplete Kontrol or Maschine and load the session.

The plugin settings will now switch over to the VST3 plugin components automatically.
