Music Unfolding

Audio Unit Hosts

Music Unfolding's Audio Units have Cocoa-based user interfaces (UIs). You must have an Audio Unit host that supports Cocoa-based UIs to use the custom graphical interface of our AUs. F8-V2 and M3 require the graphical interface to edit certain features. The AUs in the Twister Series are editable in the generic interfaces of AU hosts, such as Live.

Here is a list of Audio Unit hosts that support Cocoa-based AUs. This doesn't mean that our AUs will necessarily work in these hosts. Before purchasing our AUs, please test in your specific AU host.

Logic Studio -- Logic Pro 8, MainStage, Soundtrack Pro 2.
Logic 7.2 or greater -- Pro and Express
GarageBand
Digital Performer 6
Soundtrack Pro
Amadeus Pro
Plogue Bidule
Wave Editor
AU Lab

What if your host doesn't support Cocoa UIs?

There are a few workarounds that you may want to use if you want to directly edit F8-V2 or M3 in your host. One is to edit in an AU host that does support Cocoa AUs and save your presets. Then, load the AU in your non-Cocoa host, which will display a generic UI. Use your saved presets.

One way to get our AUs to run directly in your AU host that doesn't support Cocoa AUs is with Plogue Bidule. Plogue Bidule works as an AU plug-in that hosts other AU plug-ins. Use Bidule as an AU in your host that doesn't support Cocoa AUs. Then, load Music Unfolding's AU in Bidule. The Music Unfolding AU's Cocoa interface is now available for editing. We tested this method in Ableton Live. Please test for yourself before purchasing.
