jus_par Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi! New in the forum.... One first question to you all: I have a new VST that I want to install, buy when I want to mark the serial, I can not touch numbers, because when I do, the screenshot changes. I canot open the VST without logic How can I desactivate the screenshots so that I can write some numbers? thank you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulSC Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Yeah, an occasional pain in the ass with a few plug-ins that don't negotiate key-capture successfully in Logic. One way is to type the serial number in another app, such as a word processor -- or if you're desparate I suppose you could use a track-name field or something else in Logic. Anyway, once you've typed it, COPY it. Then (maybe) you can PASTE it into the field in the VST. Otherwise, you could download the freeware VSTLord, which is a lightweight VST host that is unlikely to mess with your keystrokes. http://arne.knup.de/?page_id=32 <-- VSTLord I don't suppose your VST can be run as standalone? (Some can, that would obviously save you a lot of hassle...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mayfield Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Wait... VST? Is this an old version of Logic on PC or something? Or is this a misuse of the term VST where you really mean "plugin" or "AudioUnit?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is this a misuse of the term VST where you really mean "plugin" or "AudioUnit?" Good point, I assume we're actually talking about an AU in a current/recent version of Logic. Anyway, the problem seems to be solved -- would be good to know which solution worked for the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jus_par Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 OK Here is my solution.. As weird as it may sound... I tried copy past from the text edit to the plugin in logic, but it did´t work. Then I copy past from my text edit to my browser, copy past from my browser to my pluggin (not VST, sorry...) in logic, and it worked... the magic of computers... Thank you all again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trompetenick Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Here is another workaround: Create a set of keycommands without any numbers or single letters. Store this , to bring up when you have to type in a lot of serials, eg when setting up Logic on a new System. To create a "blank" keycommand list: -open keycommands -export under "empty" or whatever -show used -expand all -learn by -press backspace (until there is a noneditble kommand or the segment ends) Export again under the same name ( overwrite) to make shure all is being saved. Credits for this go to Melino, of "Logicuser.de" and Meiermueller who put it into the FAQ there. Greetings Nick. @David: could you please change the spelling of this threads titel, so it can be found better for future use. Feel free to edit my post for the correct terms.
