Hallo to everyone!

StreamByter MidiFX and StreamBooter Instrument.
StreamBooter Instrument did not validate.

Hi mc242 , D'oh - that's some test code that somehow made it in to production in yesterday's update (1.7). I will have a word to the idiot responsible and get an update issued. StreamByter is a MIDI Effect only. In the meantime, you can either just ignore 'StreamBooter' or mark it as not in use in the LPX plugin manager. Sorry about that and thanks for letting me know. Regards, Nic. |

And while I'm already talking to you, can you maybe explain why I have 8 instances of StreamByter in the Audeonic folder in my Midi FX in LPX?

Hi mc242 , That's a bug in LPX - I've reported it, but Apple have taken no action as yet. There is only one other mac AUv3 MIDI FX host (MidiFire) as far as I know and it only ever shows the one. Regards, Nic. |

FYI, there are other AU Midi FX hosts. For example Soundigy Midi Lab, Kushview Element and Plogue Bidule.

AUv3? If so, must have appeared since last time I investigated. Good to know.

No, I mean AU MFX. Not AUv3. So how can I host AUv3 plugins (Do you really mean iOS AUv3 instruments?) in Midifire on Mac OS? Or do you mean on the iOS device with the Midifire iOS app, which would be normal...

Reading the manual I couldn't find anything about AUv3 in Midifire for macOS:

Hi mc242 , I mean MIDI FX plugins that are pure mac AUv3 (not iOS). StreamByter is the only one I am aware of since AUv3 MIDI is relatively new. Do these other hosting apps you mention recognise and load StreamByter? In terms of the manual, AU plugins are covered here, it is mentioned in the App Store description and also described in the MidiFire 2.0 announcement. Regards, Nic. |

Hallo and thank you for the answer, Nic! First let me answer your question. StreamByter is recognized and loaded by all the other hosting apps I mentioned.
Concerning the part of the manual, I can still read nothing about AUv3 in specific. It is all about AU and Midi FX AU.
But AUv3 is still connected only to iOS in my mind.
Can you explain the difference between Mac AUv3 and iOS AUv3? And the difference between normal Mac AU and Mac AUv3?
I'm very sorry that I still don't get it...

Hmm, I had a look in my Logic Pro X plugins list.
It seems there are only two AUv3 plugins, Streambyter and Vienna Ensemble Pro AU3.
So macOS AUv3 seems to be real. I just don't know what the difference is.
Is it the zero latency? It is pretty hard to find anything in the web, too...

Okay, this is one of the very rare explanations I found in the web: en.audiofanzine.com/apple/news/a.play,n.20767.html And it's already three years old. Apart from some enhancements regarding the number of available Midi channels and a kind of crash guard for the host daw, the main difference seems to be the code. Developers can now release an app with the same code for iOS and for macOS. That surely simplifies the developers' work a lot. But for the end user this last difference is not a big thing, because I don't think anyone will load an AUv3 app on iOS, then transfer it to his Mac and then load it into LPX. xD He will still load the same code twice, once for his iOS device and once for his desktop device. Like before... Or am I wrong? |

Hi mc242 , AUv3 is the latest platform from Apple for building plugins. The older plugin architecture is AUv2 but usually just referred as AU. AUv3 does make it easier to develop plugins for both the mac and iOS but there are differences, so the code is not identical (but similar). However an iOS AUv3 plug will not run on a mac and vice versa - they are built for different machine architectures and delivered via different App Stores. Regards, Nic. |
