If you're having trouble getting the Yamaha Expanded Softsynth Plugin (ESP) to appear or load correctly in Pro Tools, this video walks through the process that finally worked for me.

After spending hours searching for a tutorial specific to Pro Tools, I couldn't find one that covered the complete setup. This video documents the steps that I took to get ESP recognized and running so you can hopefully avoid the same frustration.
Whether you're using a Yamaha MODX M, Montage M, or any other midi controller keyboard, this guide is focused on getting the plugin acknowledged by Pro Tools and ready for use.

Special thanks to ChatGPT for helping me troubleshoot and document this process from start to finish.
Thanks for watching, and I hope this helps you get back to making music! #protools #yamaha #musicproduction
