i’m not sure how this might work within max (i’ll have to test it
out) but the
Kore system from native instruments might be one solution to this –
albeit
a somewhat expensive one. Kore will host vst and au plugins within it’s
own vst plug: for example i can use vst and au plugs in pro tools
using Kore’s
RTAS plug. one drawback is that you need to have the Kore controller
to use
the Kore software – it’s like a big USB dongle. for Kore’s other
advantages
see the NI website, but it is a viable solution for plug hosting that
might work
in max. if there is more interest i will gladly test it on my setup
and see how it
functions using the vst~ object.

I have not noticed any latency in this setup.

I did try once using AUNetSend to send from AU Lab to an analysis software, and it really took a toll on my system (1.67 MHz G4 PB), while using Soundflower for the same task was much more responsive.

au lab is ok w/ soundflower but there s something that i dun understand. when i choose soundflower in max dsp status, i can’t sound built in output, no???
is that possible to have only soundflower as input in max?

I have had some trouble in this. Sometimes when I launch AULab and choose my 16+2 driver, the I/O setup dialog leaves off two of the channels. A couple of times I have had to rebuild the aggregate driver. I don’t know why, but it only takes a few seconds to do it, so it’s not a big deal at this point. I assume Apple will work out that bug in future versions.

Does that help?

if you’re working on a intel mac you need to be careful: a host compiled for intel (like max universal binary) can only host plugins also compiled for intel. rosetta – apples emulator for powerpc code – can only emulate ppc plugins if the host is also emulated i.e. (only) compiled for ppc.

ps: never tried bidule on a intel mac thought. but it’s a universal binary.

thanks a lot

about au lab is that possible to send midi inside from max?
i dun find anything about it…

If you are interesting, you can try w/ live5 intel demo version.
its a very good deal!
no latency, easy midi connection w/ max and its works w/ every plugins!and the thing is that you don’t need to create iac or other live reconize the from max/msp input…

in any case, thanks for your interest and for solution.

I found that MIDI control from Max to AU Lab effect plugins works if the plugin supports it, and different ones support it differently. If the plugin has a fourth menu (view), then look there to see if you can select Midi Effect Editor. That will let you choose a MIDI input and channel.

In Apple’s implementation (AULooper) the editor gives a complete mapping grid. In Ohm Force Frohmage, you can turn on AutoMapping in the settings menu. In Musolumo, control click a control to turn on midi-learn. Many of the Destroy FX plugins have a midi-learn button on the interface. In Luxonix LFX-1310, control-clicking on a control gives a contextual menu from which you can select midi assign or midi learn. Most of the plugins from the smartelectronix group (besides destroy fx) don’t incorporate midi control.

In summary, what I found is that midi control from max to AU plugins works in AU Lab so long as the plugin supports it.
