Just a quick update, I'll have more info on all these items soon...

- Build 11 is almost ready, I should have it out in the next few days.

- The first "Standard Edition" build is also moving along and will also be ready in a few days.

- While not yet ready for even a private beta, the Numerology AU is moving along nicely, picts below. I'll have a big update on this and a few changes to the overall roadmap soon.

Good news! I was just going to ask you about this...
I'm curious how MIDI will be routed using an AU but you don't need to explain it in advance. As I understand it, AU's have inherent limitations so it will be interesting to see how that plays out in terms of workflow within a DAW (DP in my case).

There'll be a dedicated virtual MIDI out port for each plugin instance, and the ability to route directly to a secondary port (IAC, hardware, etc). A "clock offset" control in ms will allow you to tweak latency.

Cheers,

Hello,

there is a part of the picture that could make me happy:
The selection of the library: Standart

Standart means there is also a Advanced ????

Everything like the standalone Numerology ???

As with the standalone app, Numerology AU will have two versions: standard and Pro. The Pro version will have pretty much everything except for AU hosting, and various I/O options that don't make sense in the plugin environment (aux sends, etc.).

The standard version will be less feature-rich, but roughly comparable to what Numerology 3 SE has.

Cheers,

Screens look great.
Making more sense to me now... "midi output" drop menu to select a midi out on my Unitor 8 going to one of my hardware synths, and "audio in" to route the synths audio signal back in from my audio interface.

Is that right Jim?

Almost -- The MIDI Part is right, but there may not be an audio input on the plugin -- Most DAWs seem to have strong fixations on what they think "instruments" and "effects" are and how they should work, so they end up with all kinds of weird limitations... Regardless, you can always use a separate audio track to handle input from the hardware synth.

I just checked the SilentWay Voice Controller (an AU Synth I know well) in Logic 9 and Live 8 and it seems to be able to handle audio input in both cases, so probably the Numerology AU will always have an audio input available, but having not implemented it yet, I can't yet list it as a sure thing.

In Logic 9 I use a separate midi track + audio track (with input monitoring on) for each of my hardware synths anyway, so thats no problem at all. The mononote AU track will just be working in the same way as the instrument midi track sending midi data to the hardware synth.

I nearly pulled the trigger on a MAQ 16/3 on Ebay over the weekend... so glad I didn't now !! :D

Cant wait for this Jim !!

For some reason, I though that AU hosting was going to be a feature of your AUs. Is it just this one that won't, or all of them?

Originally it was, but I pulled it to keep the scope (both in a feature sense and in a testing sense) manageable.

Sorry to hear that, but understand.

Do you think it might make an appearance at some point in the future, or is it gone for good?

I can't really say one way or the other, but the code is still around, so it is a possibility.

This is going to be immense. Can't wait to get the AU working in Reaper.... it'll be the perfect combination for me... :)
