Location of Logic's "In-Built" Audio Units? (Sculpture etc.)

I'd like to be able to use plug-in instruments/fx like Sculpture, Space Designer etc. etc. in Nuendo, without having to resort to rewire.
With the program Plogue Bidule I can insert Au into Vst and vice-versa...
(and much more...super prog.)
But...uh...where are these Logic "built-in" Audio Units?
Needless to say I have full registered versions of all of these.
They function as plug-ins so they must exist in some self contained format somewhere on the drive.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks

This is what I found as well (in response to my post
here), and it's a shame. I'd be happy to have to
have my dongle plugged in if I could use Logic's
effects and synths in external apps.
And a lot of us would be happy if we could have an Mbox plugged in and use RTAS plugins within Logic. And maybe some VST's as well. But that's just not the way it is.
Aside from the hypocracy on Apple's part (they say
AU's are good enough for 3rd party developers)
They are good enough for third party developers. I think you misunderstood what Apple was saying there. A third party developer is anyone willing to create a plugin in the AU format - a third party developer is NOT steinberg. . . and a third party product is NOT cubase/nuendo because it cannot be used in conjunction with Logic. If it can be used in conjuction with Logic (i.e. any plugin NOT made by Apple, but is still encoded using the AU format) but is not made by apple, it is third party.
expected to be able to use these components outside
of Logic, and was disappointed to find out this
wasn't possible.
Use a few other DAW systems, and you will find that any native plugins are not useable in other DAWs. . . such as Digidesign's Beat Detective - I'd love to use that in Logic - but I can't.
Logic is not the only software that doesn't allow the use of its included plugins outside of the host software. It is EVERY DAW software.

Logic Pro and Basic Audio Units

Is anyone else having an issue with Logic Pro 9.1.8 and using legacy/basic audio unit effects located in the Audio Units > Apple location? It seems as though anytime I try to use an AU* type plugin with my project the EQ freezes like it did before the 9.1.8 update was applied. I've noticed the issue occuring when I have 8+ tracks with midi, samples, and Apple Loops in the project. The HD and CPU meters are very low (1-2 bars) and it just hangs. I don't think track count or track type has anything to do with this issue as my last project had ~24 tracks and did fine up until I added in AULowpass and that is when I started having problems with the EQ.

This is because you have Punch on the fly enabled under Options (top menu)>Audio>Punch on the Fly.... signified by the letter P instead of the letter R

Logic crashes while scanning Audio Units

when starting up Logic, it tries to scan Audio Units. Installed I have an Akoustic Piano (Native Instruments, latest version), which I never use, came with a bundle. Audio Units cannot find it, so it scans and scans, Logic doesn´t start up but crashes. Can I skip the scanning or tell the system somehow that it should ignore Akoustic Piano? I don´t even know why it doesn´t find it anymore. This happened only after installation of Leopard.

Leopard has changed the AU format, so some plugins will no longer function. You will need to go into AU manager and turn off the offending plugins.
To do this, load Logic without loading core audio (hold down the control key while Logic is starting up). It will ask "do you want to run core audio" choose no, and logic should boot up. From there, go to your Au manager and turn off whatever plugins that are causing logic to crash.

Logic pro x, A whole bunch of my audio units failed but worked fine a minute ago

Audio units failed message as half my audio units now will not load.
I have 32 lives and rescanned everything. Did not work.
I own the software and it was all working just fine until I loaded up a different song. Logic glitched out.
The Audio units are still checked in prefs in logic like normal.
Audio units still show up in the project but will no open. They have a question mark. I've seen this before and was able to figure it out with one or two but not half my AU's. Something is different.
I have just loaded the update a week ago and logic was working fine.
I tried deleting my cache with anything Logic x, that did not work.
I restarted the computer several times, no luck.
HALP!!! Thank you for your time
Couldn't be at a worse time as I have a deadline tomorrow for an album I am so close to finishing.. WHY???

If you mean all plugins have this issue then...
In Logic's Prefs Audio/Devices, make sure CoreAudio is checked...
Failing that, or if only some plugins have this issue...
Are the plugins that don't work, all ones wrapped in 32lives?
Do any of Logic's own plugins rather than 3rd party ones, have this problem?

Are Logic's instruments and effects Audio Units yet?

I quote from the logic manual: +"Audio Units is the standard Mac OS X format for real time plug-ins. It can be used for audio effects, software instruments, and Generators. The Audio Unit format is incorporated into the operating system, and installed Audio Unit plug-ins can be simultaneously accessed by all applicable programs. Logic Pro supports all Audio Unit format plug-ins."+
If this is the case, it seems odd to me that the "audio effects, software instruments and Generators" that come with Logic are not Audio Units (or weren't in Logic versions < 8).
"Why do I care?" you might ask? Well, mainly because I'm interested in using different Audio Unit hosts -- specifically, I'm playing with "live coding" (see www.toplap.org), and the instruments and effects in Logic would be wonderful to be able to live-code to.
I just scanned through the manual (it's nice that it's posted), but it mainly focuses on the Audio Unit host features of Logic, and doesn't mention the components.
Can anyone answer whether this decision has been changed yet?
thanks!

You're confusing an API with a set of Plug-ins. Yes, Logic's plug-ins are all AU's. They all conform to the AU specs. However, they are exclusive to Logic. To believe that the plug-ins will ever be available outside of Logic is more folly than anything else. It would go the same for any DAW. Logic is no exception to the rule.

Logic Pro 9 WILL NOT recognise EZdrummer in Audio Units Manager, HELP??

I recently purchased and installed Toontrack's EZdrummer plug-in to work inside Logic Pro.
However, after a week of trying, I for some bizarre reason cannot get Logic to recognize the plug-in/vst.
All week i've conquered the internet looking for solutions but sadly nothing has helped, i've tried everything from trashing cache files to rescanning audio units to manually moving files...STILL NOTHING!
This problem has annoyed many people as I scroll effortlessly down Google looking at other peoples quetions and responses, yet nothing works for me. PLEASE SOMEBODY KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!

Basic Troubleshooting steps...
First of all Logic Pro cannot use VSTs.. It uses AudioUnit (AU) Plugins..
Have you checked the AU Manager (Found under the Logic Pro menu item...) to see if it installed and validated correctly
If it is not there, it did not install correctly in which case reinstall or failing that contact ToonTracks for assistance.
If it is there but not validated, select it and manually recscan it to validate it. If it fails to validated again contact ToonTracks..
if it is there and validated,
When you start a new project in Logic and create a Software Instrument track.. and then you press and hold the Software Instrument button in the track strip.. do you see the ToonTracks entry? (along with all the Logic Pro's plugins and other 3rd party AU Plugins you may have installed)
The Software Instrument button is located as shown in this screenshot..

Logic Pro 7 (7.2.3) Audio Units Manager crashes

Logic Pro 7 (7.2.3) "Audio Units Manager" causes Logic to crash whenever it is selected from the Preferences menu. Most plugins have been wrapped by
FXpansion's VST-AU program successfully, Logic (after much work) finally goes through the validation process on start-up, but I'm unable to see what's happening in the AU Manager. Running Logic on a Mac G4 Dual 1 GHz machine with 1.5 GB of RAM. Any suggestions on what could be causing this problem?

the prob is most likely a bad plug in. some of them don't pass validation, others crash the validation program itself. go to the websites of your plug ins and check you have versions that work with your system version and logic version. make sure you check that the fxpansion wrapper is also current. also, if you happen to have the old logic tuner AU plug in from logic 6, get rid of it. it doesn't validate and the tuner is a built in logic plug in now.

Logic pro audio units manager

I have Logic 9 . I have Waves native plug ins which I use in Logic. I updated waves and now when I load Logic the audio units examiner freezes up and all plugs ins are disabled. The window showing audio units being examined opens showing the number of audio units to be examined and then nothing happens at all. I spoke with folks at Waves and everything seems ok on their end. Please advise.

Logic audio unit bridge unresponsive/gui doesn't show up properly

Hi there, having a problem running some 32 bit plugins while running logic in 64 bit mode.
For those who are familiar with the Audio Unit bridge, when clicking on a 32 bit plug-in it brings up this grey window which prompts another click to bring up the interface. When I click on here the GUI appears for a split second then disappears again or sometimes doesn't appear at all. Noteably, the plugins still allow audio through, it is just the interface won't appear.
After a while of having a project open, I have also experienced Logic giving me this message presumably due to the same problem:
It lists all the 32 bit plugins used within the project and says they are unavailable, crossing them out in the logic mixer and removing them from the audio unit manager.
I have tried removing the logic .plist file which allows the loading of the plugins again but not does not solve the problem of the unresponsive GUI.
Really lumbered by this one, any potential resolution much appreciated.
Thanks

this might be a graphic issue with my 2013 macbook pro retina 2.8gig
i went to preferences and changed the display type... the plugin then shows up. but left in any one of the modes, if i take out the plugin and recall it the same issues remain. Maybe my graphic card is failing

Is any Logic 8 (Studio) user able to open STP with audio units plug-ins?

All of my 3rd party audio units plug-ins work with Logic 8: UAD, Powercore, PSP, NomadFactory, and RND.
MainStage and WaveBurner open without any problems.
Soundtrack Pro will only open if all of my AU plug-ins are removed to a "Components (Disabled)" folder.
I tried adding a few AU back into the components folder. Some seem ok, but if STP crashes after more AU's are added, then those that previously passed inspection seem to then cause STP to crash on start up.
I've tried trashing the com.apple.soundtrackpro.plist, EffectsCache.plist with temporary benefit.
I would like to use STP for mastering Logic audio mixes before burning in WaveBurner. Isn't this one of the benefits of purchasing Logic Studio???
What to do???

A little patience pays off...
The problem is...the +_*&^%$#@!!! TC PowerCore plugins!!!
And I'm somebody who actually likes them.
After receiving a suggestion that the TC Assimilator in particular might be problematic, I decided to gradually add everything but TC plugs. STP is now well behaved. I tested the waters by adding TC ClassicVerb and MegaVerb. So far...OK. The TC ClassicVerb is one of the best out there besides the $699 TC VSS3.
I can live without the other TC stuff for right now.
Again, I really appreciated the support.

Logic Audio Unit Validater

I have loaded new waves audio unit plug-ins into Logic Pro 7.1, when they are authorized they have shown up doubled, the 5.2 versions. One group validates, the other crashed. Thus, every time Logic Pro 7.1 is loaded at start up it lists the bad plug-ins and you have to click ok to every unvalidated plug in before you can get Logic to full boot up. Is there a folder that you can delete from for the audio unit validater? Does any one have any ideas? Thanks

Again thanks for replying

Audio units scanner freezes LOGIC 7.2.3

I recentely installed a TC express board and in my mac g5 and everything was working fine.
all the plug ins and demo plug ins were great. I downloaded installed some sony oxford
plug ins and everything went according to directions. But now when I try to start logic pr 7.2.3
It trys to scan the plug ins (audio units) and the computer freezes and ask's to be restarted.
So I restart it, then it seems to scan a little further and freezes again asking for a restart.Ive tried re loading
the most current version of powercore software to no avail.
Any ideas, PLEASE

oh, well that's simple enough thanks - I have a formac 250 gig external harddrive, which I have only been using to store stuff on. SO what you're saying is (forgive me for being a naive simpleton, we all start somewhere) I should create my music on my mac in Logic and all my saving should be on the external hardrive. Then once I've saved onto the external hardrive I can play back from there? Is that what you mean?
thanks

Yes, absolutely.
And, remember to keep 20% of your system hard drive EMPTY. this will help the computer deal with it's own processing.

nevermind I solved the issue. I guess I had to update my mpc studio twice in order for logic to see it

When i try to open logic x i get a message sayingLogic Pro X unexpectedly quit while trying to use the Audio Unit "Kontakt 4" by "Native Instruments". This plug-in may require an update. how can i fix that?

Update the plugin or delete it.
Kontakt 4 is a 32 bit plugin, it won't run in Logic Pro X
You need Kontakt 5
