Ever since upgrading to M1 MacMini I've had issues accessing various VSTs in the MPC software but I can access them ok in Ableton.

For example - in Ableton I can access the Hybrid, Mini Grand, The Riser, Xpand2! but I can't in the MPC software in controller mode.

I also can't seem to access the following in either the MPC Software OR Ableton - 809, The Bank, The Noise, The Web. They appear to be installed correctly, but when rescan via the plugin manager in the MPC software I get the following issue e.g. THE 809_64(0) did not scan successfully Reason: Load Failed.

I've deleted these particular plug-ins and reinstalled but the issue persists.

Any pointers?

The 809/Bank/Noise/etc are fairly old and no longer supported, my guess is they just flat out don't work on newer operating systems. They are definitely not M1 Native for the new Macs and probably never will be. Probably the same case with the others as well.

Try opening the MPC or Live in Rosetta and see if they work that way. If you're opening either DAW as a native Apple Silicon app, those plugins wont work at all.
