I just downloaded the Pro update for Padshop. I was happy to see support for VST 2 since Ableton does not support VST 3. However, after installing the update I still only seem to have the VST 3 version. How do I get the VST 2 compatible version of the plugin? Thanks.
Try to rename padshop.vst3 to padshop.dll.
my understanding is there is no vst2 version for mac only au.
have no idea why.

Did a long search on “Padshop” and found the DLL in C:\Program Files\Vstplugins\Padshop
Doh! OK so I copied the contents of that directory into my custom Ableton VST directory and it works! 
You guys might want to tweak the installer to ask the user for custom install locations.
