Spectrasonics & Third Party Instruments

I just upgraded from Pro 6 to Logic 8 , and I can't seem to get it to recognize any of my spectrasonics instruments. After creating a new instrument, no third party software shows up in the list of instruments, only the Apple instruments. I've tried resetting the AU Manager, and that didn't work. I've looked through the forums, and while many people have had issues with the multi out, I haven't been able to find any info on simply loading the instrument.
Can anyone help?
Much Appreciated.

    Hi
    So these are EXS24 Sampler Instruments?
    If yes... the .exs Instrument files need to go in
    Library:Application Support:Logic:Sampler Instruments
    Or

  • How do i access third party instruments

    Sorry for this questions seems really basic.  Moved from Garageband to Logic and can't find out where the AU third party instruments are.    Although not easy to get to in garageband I was successful --now I can't seem to find them in Logic.  Thanks in advance-- I have the Sonics 88 piano AU which is listed in the AU directory

    All 64bit AU Instrument Plugins (LPX doesn't support 32bit AU Plugins) can be found by making a Software Instrument track, click the large i button in the top left hand corner of Logics main window (To turn on the Inspector...).and then after selecting that track... in the Inspector for that track... using the Instrument Button.....
    Tip: In Logic's preferences.. turn on all the advanced features so Logic works in the full Logic mode and not the cut down 'Garageband Pro' mode...
    Here are some annotated screenshots to help....
    Yellow Box - Inspector on/off button
    Red Box - Instrument Button
    Blue Box - Where you will find your 3rd party 64bit AU Instrument Plugins....

  • Installing third party instrument samples

    I just purchased and installed Vienna Instrument's Special Edition. Nothing tells me how to import the samples into Logic Pro's tracks, and Logic Pro isn't any help either - it says refer the VI manual (and adds the helpful comment that if third party samples are properly installed, they will work just fine).
    I went through the installer tutorials, including mapping to the folders that hold the VI instruments. I also watched the basic online tutorial on how to use the VI Instruments Standalone (which is no help because I'm trying to import these sounds into Logic, and neither Logic nor the VI manual give you ANY indication how these two pieces of software have any relationship to each other.)
    Classic example of manuals being written from the world view of the informed, instead of thinking what somebody without any background in this would need to know (i.e. the people who actually need the manuals). It's like trying to find the interstate entrance in New England - "If you don't know how to get there, you don't belong there."
    I'm also experiencing all kinds of crackling and latency, having simply installed the samples, without having plugged any of them in to a Logic Pro track - seems like I'm scraping the bottom of my memory without having done ANYTHING yet. (Macbook Pro 1.86 GHz, 2GB DD2 Ram).

    Yes,
    I am able to open VI's stand alone software and hear the samples. I have no idea what the "AU Manager" is and nothing in the Logic Pro manuals give any indication of such a thing (continously curious to me how all these manuals are written for those who don't need them). Can you tell me how to find and run this AU Manager that seems critcial to getting started, since Logic Pro and VI apparently don't seem to think it's necessary to mention it (and yet they tell you to read the manuals cover to cover...)?
    Yes, the Vienna Instruments component is in it's correct folder.
    And yes, I've restarted the computer and all the software a dozen times.
    Yes - the syncrosoft license is installed and operating correctly.
    If you've got other ideas of why this won't work, let me know. I'm burning up a precious weekend on something that ought to be brain-dead easy to do.
    I've also got the MacProvVideo DVD tutorials for Plug-ins and for EXS24 (Martin Sitter's group). What a joke. They explain all about the complex conversion of non-native instruments like AKAI, and completely ignore telling someone how to connect VSL to Logic Pro. Again, assuming it must be too easy (who do they think buys tutorials?).
    Very frustrated over what should be a very simple process.
    Help??

  • Data Acquistion Using Third Party Instruments

    Hello,
    I am planning to create a data acquistion system using Labview+Third Party Data Acquistion Card(from Multi-Instruments Inc). I got the attached documentation from hardware producer which expain how to create VC++ application using provied DLLs.
    It should also possible to create application on Labview by using the provided DLLs. But I failed to make the first step dut to limited programming experience.
    Can anyone provide any examples on this field?
    Or can anyone help to create a simple application(which could show the acqured signal) using attached DLL+Computer Sound Card+Labview? So that I could follow your example as reference. The attached DLL support Computer Sound Card.
    Thank you very much.

    Does anyone know the answer?

  • Third-party instruments

    How do I use a third-party virtual instrument in Logic 8? Specifically I bought East-West Orchestral (Silver) and installed it ok - it runs stand-alone. But i cant find any info as to how to place it so Logic 8 can incorporate it.

    Most installers will do this for You automatically, but to do it manually there will be a 'component' to place in :YOURCOMPUTERNAME / LIBRARY / AUDIO PLUGINS / COMPONENTS.
    I don't know eastwest stuff so just googled them & there was a note on the productpage at soundsonline.com saying you need kontakt 2.2 or later for use with an intel mac. you don't list the type of iMac you have but if its an intel maybe this explains it?

  • Third-party Instruments Dead. But...

    My $300 Garritan Personal Orchestra is dead on my Intel iMac. Rosetta is of no use in allowing it to be accessed in GarageBand 3. This is a major downer.
    However, Andy Drabble is in the process of creating a binary for SoundFont Synth. And this is good news.
    2.0GHz Intel Core Duo iMac   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Drösser, you know me well.
    I have not heard back from Gary Garritan regarding GPO. However, I do not think it is about Garritan as much as the Native Instruments Kontakt player. That is the real sticky point. Gary and I have talked about a GarageBand-dedicated version, but I have not heard back regarding it.
    I just looked up NI regarding Kontakt player and they promise an Intel version by the 2nd Quarter of 2006.

  • Third party instruments, samples and/or effects?

    Hey All,
    is it possible to add new drum samples, instruments, or effects to Garageband for Ipad? I am really happy with the program, but i feel that in time the native sample- and effect packs will start to bore me.
    best,
    Jens

    If you upgrade to GarageBand 2.0.5 you can buy the Red Loops, available for a limited time this week only.

  • Third party software instrument not outputting to right speaker?

    Hi there. I know that third party support is not something I can expect to get much of here, but I figured I'd see if anyone had any suggestions anyway. I'm new to GarageBand, and am using the '8 bit' plugin from a Japanese band called YMCK (http://www.ymck.net/english/download/index.html). The plugin does seem a little buggy or incompatible with my system/GarageBand because I often get no sound and have to restart GarageBand, or (and I warn you if you try it) occasionally I'll get a loud, annoying tone until I restart the app as well.
    Normally, however, it does what it's supposed to except for the fact that I am not getting any audio output from the right speaker for software instruments using this plugin, regardless of the panning I'm using. This is just kind of strange and I'm wondering if maybe there's something I'm missing, or perhaps someone else has used this plugin before (or would be willing to try it). Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    No love for the newbie?

  • Logic Express 8 not seeing third-party software instruments

    I have tried to install some Puremagnetik EXS instruments files for Logic, following manufacturer's instructions to place an alias of the file containing them in the folder Macintosh HD-->Library-->Application Support-->Logic-->Sampler Library. Have tried this both with an alias and with the actual file. Actual file resides on the home drive not an external drive. Have rescanned the library in Logic and they are not showing up either in the library or in the channel strip drop-down menu.
    Have others had this problem with "third-party" software instruments that do not come as package files? The only non-built-in software instruments that I have ever successfully installed in an Apple product were either from the Jam Packs or came as a "package" where you double-click the "box" icon and the product installs.

    Even though both the Puremagnetik instructions and an e-mail from the support address there specifically said to place the files in the top level directory, guess what? Based on this suggestion I placed an alias in the user level directory and it worked. Logic is now seeing the soft synths. Thank you!

  • What labview package do I need to develop third party labview instrument drivers?

    We have been asked develop labview 6.1 drivers for a third party data acquisition card. What Labview package do we need to buy, basic, pro etc?

    The only way to really program for a third party data acquisition card in LabVIEW would be through a "call library function node". You would have to call the dll that third party card developer provided. As far as I know all LabVIEW packages contain a "call library function node". I would recomend buying at least the full development environment because of some of the additional features in that package.

  • Standardise definition & selection method for ALL third party plugin presets!!!

    Over at LogicProHelp there is a very useful topic relating to Logic presets - in which many users have spent time saving individual third party plugin settings as LOGIC presets... which is enormously helpful when selecting instruments etc because they can be selected using a keystroke etc and found within the Logic Library browser window - which is of course searchable!
    These presets have then been uploaded to the forum for others to download.
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=367267#367267
    I posted on the topic recently and thought it worth mentioning over here on the Apple forum.
    Here's what I said - does anyone agree/disagree? Is this something that Apple should work on? For me it's a no brainer but I'd like to know what others think....
    "MO 3rd party instruments that rely on mouse-clicks or anything more than one button press to change a preset are incredibly badly designed. It's massively frustrating and impedes creative flow to have to use a mouse, or press several keyboard buttons just to move from one sound to another. Native Instruments interfaces are amongst the worst offenders - you even have to MANUALLY specify what presets you want to use with specific MIDI Program Change messages - because the latter are the only way I know of using anything other than the NI interface to change sounds in their plugins.
    The Logic Channel Strip settings saved along with 3rd party Plugin settings saved as Logic Presets have proved a recent revelation for me.
    Now I can change instrument presets using a keystroke, a midi message, almost anything I want.
    And then there's the Logic Library browser - now that so many sounds are saved as Logic Presets, the Logic browser window has become really powerful - being able to search my entire library for "bass" or a particular instrument name - REGARDLESS of which third party plugin is required to play the sound - IT JUST LOADS AND PLAYS!
    Maybe I'm in the minority but I think of a sound I want first, NOT which instrument I should load and then browse through - the latter is kind of backwards for me.
    I really think that we users should pressure Apple and plugin developers to provide Logic (and indeed other DAWs) presets with ALL of their products because the amount of effort on their part is minimal compared with countless end-users doing this task manually over and over. The current situation is ridiculous.
    DAWs are incredibly powerful these days but the lack of a plugin preset/sound library definition standard is quite crippling to work flow.
    I mean if there were a STANDARD LIBRARY DEFINITION such as with Native Instrument libraries or Apple loops where sounds are defined universally and supplied as such in a common preset it would revolutionise sound discovery/selection within DAWs.
    Kind of like a document management system that applies to ALL plugins, by ALL developers and the installer for a plugin would then add all its presets to the management system/common library"

    Can you give me an example of a plugin that doesn't work with the Logic save preset function?
    Sure, I could give you lists of plugins for each of those particular scenarios I addressed.
    In that specific case, for one example, Spectrasonics instruments for a few years did not support the hosts' save/recall settings function (at least in Logic), and when contacting them and asking why Stylus RMX could not recall settings saved via Logic's preset system I was given the explanation that it wasn't supported for technical reasons.Basically, it only save/recalled a small handful of settings, the rest were lost, meaning it was impossible for quite some time to use the Logic's save/load settings feature to save user presets, you had to use the plugin's own internal save features. (Yes, the instrument's state was saved in the song, but *wasn't* able to be saved via the preset handling, for technical reasons).
    A year or so later, and later Logic versions, they finally got round to making it work as the varioous parts of the host and instruments were upgraded to handle larger data requirements. Spectrasonics instruments are examples of instruments with very specific, custom browser features, many of which you lose if you save data using Logic's functionality - not to mention the effort of saving, naming and organising 8000+ patches per instrument. Plus you have many levels of data - you often load a loop into a part, and a part into a group of parts, and they are different types of data. The hosts save/load feature only saves the state of the plugin - it can't be used to load Loop 14 into part 2, for example. It's the whole plugin, or nothing. More workarounds in terms of how you organise your loading/saving of different types of data.
    There are other instruments too, and ones I've beta tested where I've got into the technical details and had to have the preset format changed or simplified because hosts had difficulties storing the data correctly. It's quite a complex thing, in the main, and different instruments implentation of preset handling mean that the whole thing is full of workarounds, compromises, or plain failure to use the feature completely.
    Other instruments, such as Minimonsta, lose functionality when saving via the host - for example, you only get the meta patches and patch morphing functions when saving via the plugin's own file format, and that stuff doesn't happen when saving via the host.
    I could go on and on about this - every develop has different requirements and they mostly all either do it very basically and rely on the host, or bypass the hosts save/load functionality and implement their own which they can be in control of and that will work across hosts and across platforms. For instance, there is little point having a beautifully organised Oddity library if all those sounds are now unavailable to me if I choose to work in Live...
    That's why the whole preset thing is a complicated mess and isn't liable to be sorted soon.
    There is a developer over on the PC trying to make a system to unify this stuff between plugins - it's PC only right now, and I forget the details this second, but it's acknowledgement that people recognise this whole thing is a mess and looking at ways to improve the situation.
    Sid Merrett wrote:
    I hadn't spotted that - thanks. You can't use the Logic Library window to search for Plugin Settings, only Channel Strip Settings.
    You *can* use it to search for plugin presets, but only within the context of a single plugin. Ie, if I select the ES2, I can see, and search, the ES2 plugin settings. But often I want "a bass sound", I don't necessarily know that I was an "ES2 bass sound", or a "Minimonsta bass sound" or whatever.
    The point being, I just want a sound that will work, and I don't know where it will come from. Forcing me to choose and instrument first can be counter productive. How many times have you needed a sound, and you go "Ok, there might be something in pluginX that'll work?" - you load up pluginX, flip through the sounds, don't find anything useful, then go "Ok, let's try pluginY", no... pluginZ etc etc
    I miss Soundiver in many ways. *Ideally*, I'd like one central method of storing my presets which will work cross-plugin, cross-host, cross-format and cross-platform that is a standard that all developers and hosts support, and that offers the main core features that developers need, from simple, single patches with names, up to full meta data, cataloging, organising, author and notes tagging and so on. You can still give the users a choice to use the individual plugin and individual plugin's gui for patch selection, but you can get far more standardised if you want, with the advantages that gives - and you don't have to export patches into the system, as it's developer supported, all presets for your instruments would be instantly available in the library, just as they are in the instrument directly.
    But it's difficult to get developers to agree on much, these days - the most likely thing to happen is someone somewhere creates a cross-platform standard for this that gains momentum and that developers and hosts want, or *need* to support.
