AU (Audio Unit) Drone Question

Posted

Short question to the Devs:

 

is there any specific reason why the AU Drone is still not able to do multi-out?

Especially with the vst now having 16 stereo out available in comparison?

 

I just have single stereo out available in OSX Logic X

which is, well, quite limiting to say at least. 

I checked the AU as well in Studio One to see if its just a Logic X Quirk, but same thing.

Just like to know why that is.

 

Thanks,

tL.

 

(Edit: this really is just out of interest as I do not work too often in AU based hosts anyways lately)

It should have 16 outputs (8x stereo), but for some reason it doesn't seem to work for AudioUnits. I'd say it's a bug.

Yes of course, 16 outs = 8 Stereo Outs as VSTi., my bad... :)

 

By the way: Usually when a multi-out AU plugin is available in addition to the standart 

stereo-out version it shows up as an extra plugin in AU Hosts. 

(i.e. you can choose to insert a plugin as stereo out or as 16-out for example.)

The Synfire Drone is showing up as Stereo Out only without any additional entry, 

so maybe there is just an oversight somewhere...

 

Best,
