I am able to see Scalar 3 internal instruments, but the instruments drill down says “No instruments”, and the “Manufacturer” line shows the items I would expect (i.e. “Baby Audio”), but under all those there are no sub items with the actual instruments. I am running on Mac in Logic Pro. Plugin version is “v1.0.3.c53a073”. I have done a rescan of the instruments and can see it picking up the different VSTs, etc, but once it finishes they do not show up. I have quite a large instruments collection (500 GB+, I think). Not sure if this could have anything to do with it.

I will try and reinstall Scalar 3 this weekend when I have a chance.

I installed a 3rd party plugin I purchased from a different company and when it finished it said Logic Pro users need to restart the machine after install. I went back to Scalar 3 and I’m seeing instruments show up now both under Instruments and Manufacturer listed names. I had performed restarts from other events after installing Scalar 3, I believe, but not after doing a full rescan, until I installed this other third party plugin. It seems like that fixed it so I’ll close this and leave that suggestion for others.
