We have an updated version of the audiounit~ object:

https://cycling74.com/download/audiounit~-20100920.zip

This requires Max 5.1.5 and addresses (among others) issues with operation in standalones. Please let us know if there are problems.

audiounit-public-beta-2

Damn, only runs on Macs Intel.
Do you plan a UB version?

Hi Timothy, hope you are well, and thanks for this object! I'm having a strange issue. I'm trying to add a "clean" signal path to a patch with the au~ object. However, even though au~ is not in this path, I'm hearing the signal after it has gone through au~. This is true until I break any connection from the common adc~ object. I've attached a patch to illustrate. Thanks, Michael

You might want to download the object, Tim's object is 

You might want to download the object, Tim's object is audiounit~ object not au~.


thanks for the object. Basically it works for me but I've noticed some problems.

- the GUI windows of 3rd party plugins like Kontakt or Pianoteq are misplaced.

In particular the title bar is hidden, so the window can't be moved.

- DLSMusicDevice doesn't appear in the menu associated with [audiounit~ 0 2].

I wonder why it's not listed as an instrument like eg. Kontakt or Pianoteq.

- Tempo synchronisation seems not working (eg. with the Thesys plugin).

@Emmanuel--thanks very much! It's amazing what a difference downloading the correct object makes:) It's working great for me, which is something I've been looking for for a number of years (although, clearly, not too avidly)...

In case someone else hits upon the same issue,

audiounit~ wouldn't work correctly. The help patcher played a steady tone (rather than a pulse). Using sfplay~, it seemed not to process at all. This is with a brand new MBP w/ 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard) installed; I updated to MaxMSP 5.1.5 at the same time. I had used restore from Time Machine backup which imports a lot of old application preferences.

Solution: trash the ~/Library/Preferences/Max5 Preferences Folder. Works great now.

Using the latest version of AudioUnit, I had a crash.

The crash occured when I was loading an AU in the Audiounit object.

I had allready one Audiounit running a matrixreverb.

VST~ can be bypassed before any VST where loaded in it.

Audiounit~ need to have an AU loaded in order to be bypassed.

It would be great if VST~ and AudioUnit~ had the same bihaviour.

Hi,
Another post about audiounit.
Nothing really important.

Thanks,

Something annoying with AudioUnit~ is that when an AU plug-in window is frontmost, the key object in Max will not works anymore. The AU plug take all the keystrokes, even if nothing is selected in the plug's window.

Do you think it is possible to fix this?
Thanks a lot.

Synchronization of audiounit~ to Max transport doesn't work for me in M4L device. Do I have to connect something manually or should it sync automatically like vst~ ?

EDIT: Whoops. Didn't see there was a new beta release topic. Moved my problem description to there.

It's really great to hear an updated audio unit extern for max.

It's not working for me yet, though. I get this error in the Max window:

2011-01-02 17:01:05.814 MaxMSP[5767:207] Error loading /Applications/Max5/Externals/audiounit~.mxo/Contents/MacOS/audiounit~: dlopen(/Applications/Max5/Externals/audiounit~.mxo/Contents/MacOS/audiounit~, 262): Symbol not found: _jgraphics_get_resource_da

Referenced from: /Applications/Max5/Externals/audiounit~.mxo/Contents/MacOS/audiounit~

Let me know if anyone has any ideas about what is wrong with my setup. I've been really excited about this opening this up since I saw this thread.
