Instajungle magically disappearing from Ableton's VST list?

[Solo Strike]

Apologies for the lame topic... played a set last night for a couple of hours, everything was good... booted up Ableton today to put some new tracks in, however when I loaded up my set Instajungle has mysteriously vanished from my VST list. Been fiddling about, tried moving the .dll file out and back into the VST folder, redownloading it etc. I'm stumped. Anyone got any idea why this might happen and how it can be fixed?

[Guest epsy]

instajungle? lol

[Guest dild0]

lol.

you have to check what VST ver. is instajungle. Live 7 generally supports untill VST 2.4,on intel-mac it ONLY supports ver 2.4.

Maybe instajungle is a 2.0/2.3 VST..

 

if you go back to Live 5.22 or 6,i'm sure this won't happen.

[perunamuusi]

i dont like the sound of this instajungle thing

[Guest hahathhat]

it doesn't work because it sucks

 

orly

[Solo Strike]

It's actually a fun little way to spice up DJ sets...

 

I don't see why it would be working for a few months then suddenly stop. I'd rather not go back to an older version if I don't have to.

[Guest Jimbob]

You can make a pretty good imitation of a spinback on it.

Unless someone programmes a better one then it's good enough for me.

VSTs have magically gone missing for me in ableton as well, despite them being in the proper folder... try renaming the VST and reloading ableton.

[Guest hahathhat]

i don't use ableton much, but cubase has a window of plugins that failed to load. it doesn't try to load them a second time, you have to go to the window and check their checkbox, then restart cubase, to get it to try and load the plugin again. maybe ableton has similar?

[Guest Zoomorphic]

recently all my vst's, intruments and effects went missing, downloaded the update and it replaced all the files so it works fine again

[Solo Strike]

Still no joy guys. Tried renaming and everything. I have a gig tomorrow night... anyone got any more suggestions/beat mashing VST recommendations? I like Instajungle as you can turn on a tempo set repeating sample of a bar, something that does something similar would be ace

[Solo Strike]

Also the plugin doesn't load in Fruity 8 if that helps anyone work out an answer... even when I download it again and rescan.

[Guest dild0]

have you tried going back to ableton 6 or 5 ? anyway if you do need this kinda repeat stuff within' tomorrow, use live like a sampler,so fill like 5-6 slots with the sample you want to mangle and just fuck around with the offset points to get the kind repetition you want. hopr it helps

[Solo Strike]

Did the show last night without it. I'll go back to an earlier version as a final resort before my next one, though I'm determined to get to the bottom of the problem before that. The fact that the VST won't load in Fruity is starting to make me think that perhaps it's some sort of Vista issue.

[Guest Jimbob]

Live's beat repeat itself gets alot of use from me.

Map out the letter R to repeat, and use your arrow keys to change the quantatisation.

Granted you have to get your timing right, but if you get it nailed it sounds fucking wicked and really expressive too.

[Guest Promo]

I downloaded Instajungle on reading this thread and I can say its fuckin' fun and yeah I could imagine it being handy for live alongside my arsenal of other fx. You can actually do an artificial rewind if you get your timing right which sounds pretty sick!!

Oops didn't read your comment before I wrote my one above lol.

[Solo Strike]

Haha, just don't get too used to it Promo! Out of interest, what else is in your VST 'arsenal'? Always interested in new toys to play with when I'm DJing. I think my rack currently consists of Moot, dbGlitch (for short metallic delay), EQ, delay, filter, buffer override and a bitcrusher, all controlled through a MIDI keyboard.

[Guest Jimbob]

High and low cut offs for each channel, Instajungle for occasional spinbacks, Live's beat repeat for making everything more breaky, dBlue glitch again for the tape effect, another glitch for a reverse and thats about it.

I'd love for someone to write a proper sick rewind plugin though

[Solo Strike]

Beat Repeat actually seems to work pretty well for my purposes - I had skimmed over it rather quickly when I got Ableton, but after a little time delving into what it can do, it sounds great (though I'd rather have a few different Repeat switches set to different values than just one with constant knob twiddling)

 

Gonna map it out to MIDI tonight and see what it's really capable of!

record deck + record + recorder + spin back = spinback.aiff

I'm having this problem too with some plugins, but instajungle works fine...

 

strange thing is that the same plugins do appear on my other pc in ableton!
