finnlogik1000 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hi, I am trying to install/use PG-8X synth plugin which comes as vst plugin. I copied the vst file to the correct folder but it does not show up in Logic where others like au plugins are chosen. Should a vst plugin there or what am I doing wrong. I think that the plugin is 64 bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Logic doesn't take VST, only AU. For a very ling time now. Every manufacturer provides an AU versipn as well as VST, at least they should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Logic doesn't use VST plugins. PG-8X is only available as a VST (there is an old beta version as an AU, but it's best avoided. Martin hasn't gotten around to do a proper AU version yet.) To use it in Logic, you'd have to use a wrapper, such as Blue Cat's Patchwork, which itself is an AU plugin (and thus works in Logic) but can host VST plugins inside it.

Mark R Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 There is also 'Unify' by pluginguru, It just happens to function as a VST wrapper in Logic but is much more. It comes with the PG-8x plugin and several other synths. Also includes many audio and MIDI FX and and their own sample player. It is new and the developers are constantly adding new features and new patches. Demo version is also available. https://www.pluginguru.com/products/unify-standard/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 i used this several years ago (so would be worth checking if it's compatible with your OS/logic version), it did what i needed it to do: https://ddmf.eu/metaplugin-chainer-vst-au-rtas-aax-wrapper/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 There are free alternatives too. Image line has a free subhoster, try that first, it’s free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValliSoftware Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Kushview Element is free and open source. https://kushview.net I tested this out in Logic Pro X and here's PG-8X in Element in Logic. One thing to note, if you do this you'll be loading 2 AU's, Element and PG-8X. You should email the PG-8X developer about creating a AU version.

des99 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 It's on the developers list to do one day, but not a priority (ie, he's off doing other things and isn't spending development time on PG8X currently.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I mentioned that was because of the following... He mentions the WDL-OL Framwork http://olilarkin.blogspot.com/2011/11/wdl-ol-enhanced-iplug-framework.html Which is suppose to make it easy to create plug-ins in VST and AU using the same source.

I have been trying to get the VK1 running.. & no AU. I have contacted them & asked if they would consider wrapping it. but thats not helping me now. Either way this works great & I have 8 macros as such to link perimeters to so I have full control of automation! Just perfect! It has crashed logic a few times & I have to "recover" but thats not really a big deal as I don't lose anything in the process! ^Thanks mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
