How to create "instruments" like Auganizer used to?

[anamorphis]

Hi everyone,

Long time since my last post.. I hope everyone is doing well 😉

So, I've wrestled with this for a long time, and for a while there, I had a solution that involved Auganizer (maybe some of you are familiar with it?), which sadly seems to have been discontinued.

Auganizer had an option to create "plugins" from, for example, Kontakt instruments. Then, I was able to organize those "plugins" along with the rest and, if I wanted to launch say, Una Corda by Native Instruments, I could load that directly from the Instrument slot in a midi channel in Logic, instead of loading Kontakt, and then loading Una Corda inside of it. I hope you know what I'm referring to.

Since Auganizer is no more, I really miss this feature, and I wondered if anyone knows of a way to do this without Auganizer. There must be a way, right? I'm aware that one can save channel strips with specific instruments, but that's not exactly the same thing.

Thank you so much!

Load Kontakt and the instrument you want, and save it as a Patch (or Channel Strip setting as you say).

That's the closest you can get. Auganizer was always a bad hack, imo...

Hey @des99

Yeah, I agree about Auganizer. That's why I didn't use it for too long. But that feature was so useful tho.. I wish there was a way to make Kontakt instruments appear as plugins.

Anyway, thank you so much for your help 😉
