It nowĬomplains that it can't find the plugin at all. Now the pigments dll in my vst2 plugin directory is gone and ableton live now does not complain about the plugin version being incompatbile anymore. The app works again and after logging in, I reinstall pigments one more time. I uninstall the ASC and reinstall it again. I decide to kill the app using the task manager. The ASC shows me the spinner and nothing else happens for about 10 minutes. During installation, the ASC presents me with the login screen where I have to enter my user name and password. I go back to the ASC and click the reinstall button for pigments. I went to the Arturia website and clicked the Downloads&Manuals link in the support section. Found some comment which said that the Downloads&Manuals section on the Arturia website has links to older version of the software.

I looked at installing older versions of pigments which is not possible from ASC. I think at this point I already lost all tracks using pigments in all my productions. In hindsight I believe what happened is that I was using a vst2 version of pigments which got overwritten with a vst3 version. I only expect breaking changes for major updates.Īfter updating, I opened ableton live which told me that the pigments plugins is incompatible with the version of live. Since I had pigments 3.2 I thought this is a minor update with full backwards compatibility. I updated to pigments 3.5 using the Arturia Software Center (ASC).
