I'd been hopeful and sceptical about Audio Units until, well, about five minutes ago. I'd thought that Logic was the only currently available host for AU (and, as my ISP nightmare continues, haven't been able to download the Audio SDK and build a testing app even to pursue my curiousity on this front). I found a nice little freeware app out there, Synthtest. It's just an app that lets you test out AU - both of the instrument variety and the DSP variety. (There are a few out there; www.osxaudio.com seems to be a reasonable reesource).
Anyway, using this nice little AU host has been thrilling. Latency is so minimal as to be imperceptible. And playing around with the Airy Synth AU (AUi? iAU? AUnstrument? someone coin something) was quite satisfying. I've tons to learn before I could so much as program my way out of a code sample, but I'm lookin forward to learning. And AUs definitely seem the way forward from that perspective. |

We allready link 8 (independant) AU in our software directory:
http://www.macmusic.org/softs/softcat.php/...ang/EN/id/7037/ Is there some we are missing? Would you guys help us to add others (if any?) Any help is welcome

lutefisk: I also suggest you find Rax if you haven't. It's listed on here and on VersionTracker.

Thanks for the heads-up, Levon. I've been using Rax since a day or two after I posted that (end of Oct), and keeping up with its updates, too. Granted Software is working _hard_ on au. There's since, btw, been an update to SynthTest, but it remains primarily a developer-orientated app, worth checking out if that's your bent...

I oughta' start looking at message dates, huh? Sorry, mate: sorry; sorry...

Well, I've been accused of being bent in many directions, but that's never been one of them.
