IPad AUV3 apps on Mac
So I finally got the nerve to update my 2020 13in Intel MBP from Catalina to BigSur so I could instal Animoog Z and Model 15 on my Mac. I hesitated so long for fear of other apps and plugins I bought not working, so far everything’s ok 👍🏽.
So I have a few other apps that I bought on IPad OS I was able to download but nowhere even close to the amount of apps I’ve purchased. Now I’m not opposed to buying some of them again just to have them on my Mac but where the heck are they? I searched for Auv3’s but found very few. I thought there might be other non music apps like Lumafusion available to download.
So question, are there a lot more Auv3 apps available but I just need an M1 Mac????
Comments
Lol, never mind, just saw this on the AppStore, so apparently I do need an M1 Mac 🤷🏽♂️
Model 15 can be installed in Intel macs, look in your purchase history in the app store. I had this installed in my old Intel desktop Mac.
Thanks I already downloaded that and Animoog Z, I just thought there would be more of my favorite apps available. At some point I’d love to get an M1 14inch MBP, and I’m sure they’ll drop a M2 or something a month later lol.
For the apps that are written for the iPad that are enabled for the Mac, you need an Apple Silicon Mac.
For AUv3 as a general thing on the Mac, most of them aren't going to be on the Apple Store for the Mac. We're also still in a sort of change over period where lots of plugins still aren't moved to the version 3 standard yet.
Anybody knows where or how the AUV3 apps are stored on the Mac?
I would expect under Application Support / Plugins... but nothing to see on my mac.
Are they invisible files?
There are files at /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components. There may be files in other locations as well, not sure.
For Host Apps with AUv3 'extensions' they are usually stored inside the app-bundle and scanned by the system.
For example Mela 4 stores it's 'AUv3' plug-ins as *.appex inside the app-bundle (Contents/Plug-Ins), same goes for MiRack and most likely every single AUv3 downloaded from the AppStore...
All the AUv3's downloaded from the Appstore store the AUv3 Plug-in inside the App Bundle in the Applications folder.
It's possible for a host to scan for app-extensions installed on the system.
For Model D, 15 and Animoog Z Moog has made additional VST wrappers available for download.
That is Correct
On Mac all the applications are bundles/packages in short folders with files packaged into a bundle.
You can check this by doing a 'Control + Click' or 'Right Click' on any application and select 'Show Package Contents'.
This will open the 'application bundle' and you'll be able to browse its content, you'll usually find the *.appex plug-in in Contents/PlugIns folder.
Cheers!
Interesting. Do other MIDI processor AUv3's show up properly in Reaper?
My guess here (as I'm not a Reaper user) is that Reaper scans the plug-in folders but does not query the OS for any available plug-ins. It's the same with Renoise. It just scans the plug-in folders, thus some AUv3's are 'missing'.
