I have tried using Rosetta on and off and it will only detect the AU version, not VST3, I have tried everything, is an update needed perhaps? This is very crucial for my work, thank you

Yes you'll need to update it, I had the issue too with bridging etc when changing to FL 21. You can find the download for the update at this link: https://nimble.itch.io/kick/devlog/406861/nimble-kick-120 

Hope this helps!

Hey, I also have this issue, the problem is it will not detect the .vst3 file on Mac M2 OSX 13, I am trying with the latest version 1.2.1, please if you can find a fix, thank you.

I have the same issue, I have just purchased and installed the latest update and FL Studio 21 doesn't detect the VST - both FL Studio and Nimble kick are on the latest versions.  Any suggestions rather than having to request a refund? Thanks.

Also, just to add that FL Studio also does not recognise Misstortion 2 either - co-incidence or same issue?

Oh I didn't realize you were talking about Mac in your other comment. I only have an M1 Mac, so I can't test on M2 myself, but I'll take a look at this on my M1 tomorrow.

On Mac, you might need to add Nimble Kick to your system plugins path, as FL Studio doesn't automatically add the user's local plugins folder to its plugin manager.

To get to this location in Finder, open a Finder window, then in the top bar click on "Go" followed by "Go to folder" (or press Shift+Cmd+G), then type "/Library" (note the slash at the start). From here, navigate to "Audio" -> "Plug-Ins". In here, you might need to create a "VST3" folder if it doesn't exist yet. Inside of this folder is where you place Nimble Kick.vst3.

Then, open FL's plugin manager and re-scan for plugins. Nimble Kick should now show up.

Absolutely perfect, thank you - greatly appreciate your help, this worked a treat. I'll remember this for future.
