Logic Pro Help

FYI - for anyone needing to work with 32-bit AU plug-ins in Logic Pro X, these can be opened as hosted plug-ins via Vienna Ensemble Pro 5.

so, for $307US i can buy this, and run something like Sylenth1 from within it? just want to be sure...

Correct.

You can test with the free demo license - an eLicenser (Steinberg, Arturia, ViennaKey) USB key is required.

Dislcaimer: I fully support 64-bit and think it was a bold but wise decision for Apple to move Logic to 64-bit only. However I also sympathize with users of Sylenth1, which is a staple for most dance music producers and as developer has more or less fallen off the face of the earth, there is likely no chance it will ever be upgraded to 64-bit.

As such, here are 3 ways you can use Sylenth1 with LPX:

1. Use Native Instruments' Maschine to host the VST version of Sylenth, then jBridgeM for 32-bit support (tested, works like a charm)
2. Vienna Ensemble Pro (have not tested, but told it works)
3. Run LP9 alongside LX and print audio

Hope this helps somebody

i went with #4: Uninstall Sylenth1, replace with Spire...and use logic X's built-in arpeggiator (for now). so it goes...

Is Spire really on point with Sylenth sound-wise? Haven't tried it yet.

Thanks, even if I didn't understand the way by Maschine.

I was thinking about running LP9 in 32 bits, then routing its track output into Pro X via an IAC bus.

Could anyone confirm it ?

And at least, I've got two mac and Logic Node definitely disappear... I'd like something like Reamote 64 from Reaper or an alternative of VEP 5.


Good night.

Logic 9 in 64-bit can be rewired with Plogue Bidule in 32-bit hosting 32-bit AUs/VSTs...

I don't have Logic X yet, so maybe someone else can check the same holds true with LPX64/PB32?

I use Plogue Bidule as an AU plugin together with JBridge. Works well. They just updated the Plogue AU to work with Logic X so make sure you get the latest version.

32-bit Bidule in ReWire works perfectly fine with Logic Pro X.

i've tested with v0.9727 and v0.9730.

BIdule is only $95 usd

Well, doest it work on Audio effects ?

What about just downloading reaper and hosting Sylenth there? Would add a bit to your CPU usage (dont know how much) but it's a lot cheaper (I would rather spend the money on new gear rather than spending another 100+ just for Sylenth etc). Hopefully something like that would suffice until a 64bit version is released.

Could something like this be done for Logic X. The context is in protools but wondering if it can be done with Logic too.

download the demo! it's not the same, but possibly better in places. what i give up is over 100 soundbanks! but...trying to keep things simple (rather than use the workarounds suggested in this thread). but that's just me...

I would use Mainstage 2.x in 32bit mode to host any plugin.
- use Soundflower virtual busses and make an aggregate sound card in the OSX audio settings
- Setup IAC MIDI driver to have Logic X and Mainstage 2.x communicate.

This you would use the MS as external synth but Soundflower provides virtuals cables between them, since Soundflower has 64 channels I don't see a limitation.

have look at this tutorial for Protools and Mainstage. I believeit's very similar to setup Logic X.

A lot of people who have paid 170ish euro for Sylenth would rather keep it instead of just ditching it and switching to another plugin and spending even more money

and the point is? i LOVE sylenth1, and had over 100 soundsets in it...a significant investment. but it's not being updated to 64bit. and i WANT to work in logic X, so...we find workarounds, new tools....whatever it takes.

if the developers don't keep up with changing OS's, apps...that's on them. i just want to get back to work..

Just relax... sylenth will go 64bit soon enough im sure - if they dont then they are frikken stupid.

It hasn't been updated in almost 5 years. Highly doubt it.
