Logic Pro can act as a host for (compliant, correctly installed and authorized) Audio Units effect and instrument plug-ins from other manufacturers. Logic Pro is first opened. An updated version of Logic Pro is installed. You install new Audio Units plug-ins, or update existing ones. You can see the results of the validation scan (for all Audio Units and “wrapped” VST plug-ins) in the Compatibility column of the Audio Units Manager window. The 'component' package is distributed separately from the 'vst' and 'vst3' packages. Note that you need to install the 'component' package (AudioUnit plug-in) if you are using Logic Pro, GarageBand and other AudioUnit-compatible audio applications. For AAX plug-ins on macOS platform.

A – Captain Plugin only supports 64-bit hosts on Mac. So, if your DAW is 32-bit, you won’t be able to see the plugins. On Windows, we support both 32 and 64-bit hosts. However, your DAW may not support 32-bit plugins.

Some DAWs may require your Antivirus to be disabled before installing Captain Plugins. This will prevent them from being blacklisted.

Q – My DAW is 64-bit and I still can’t locate the plugins. What should I do?

A – Rescan your plugins folder in your DAW*. This is usually achieved by rebooting your DAW, or selecting Rescan plugins in your DAW preferences.

Q – Why are my plugins out of sync with each other or not loaded in Logic Pro X?

A – Logic introduced dynamic plug-in loading in Logic Pro X 10.4.5, which disables plugins it thinks are not in use. Any software instrument tracks that do not contain MIDI regions are at risk of not loading automatically. We highly recommend disabling this setting on a per project basis by opening File > Project Settings > General, then deselect “Only load plug-ins needed for project playback.” In addition, you can simply select the track to load the plugins.

Q – Why can’t I see the preset sounds tab in my plugin?

A – If you are using your plugin in MIDI FX mode, you will not be able to see the sounds tab because is designed to route MIDI to your favorite VST synths. You should be able to see the sounds tab option in the VST and/or AU version.

In rare cases, the sound bank may have failed to fully download, so re-downloading the latest version from https://www.mixedinkey.com/captain-plugins/download and re-installing may be required.

Q – How many computers can I install Captain Plugins on?

A – We allow you to install Captain Plugins on multiple computers with the purchase of one license provided they are your own personal computers. You can use your original download link and activation code on up to 3 computers.

Q – How do I recover my download link for Captain Plugins?

A – You can download the latest build at https://www.mixedinkey.com/captain-plugins/download

Q – How are Captain Plugins different from Odesi?

A – Odesi is self-contained composition package for when you want to work on music outside of your DAW, a sketch pad to help get your ideas flowing. Captain Plugins are designed be used inside your DAW only, and can be used in the composition and production of a whole track

Q – Why isn’t my 3rd-party VST pLugins showing up in the Plugins tab?

A – In Captain Plugins 5, we added VST plugin hosting, so you can compose your MIDI in Captain Plugins, and route it directly through 3rd-party synths without leaving Captain Plugins.

We have added compatibility with the most commonly used VST instruments, such as Arturia V Collection, Omnisphere, Serum, Sylenth, NI Kontakt, U-HE Zebra and more. However, we intend to keep adding compatibility with more plugins and manufacturers. If your plugin isn’t showing up, please email us and tell us which plugin(s) you want compatibility for. Email: contact@mixedinkey.com

Q – Why can’t I add my own samples in Captain Beat?

A – There are 2 methods for adding samples:

• Windows: Drag the sample from your Windows File Explorer or DAW sample menu directly to the appropriate drum channel timeline.
• Mac: Drag the sample from your Finder or DAW sample menu directly to the button marked ‘drag your sample here’. Be sure to have the appropriate drum channel selected.

Q – Why is the final bar of my drum sequence different to the rest of my sequence in Captain Beat?

A – Captain Beat has a new tool called Fill. It adds a customisable drum fill at the final bar of each sequence. It is on by default, and can be turned off to return the sequence to it’s regular state.

Q – Why does Captain Plugins require an internet connection?

Captain Plugins and Odesi require an internet connection. This is for a number of reasons. We are able to send out faster updates, ‘hot-fix’ issues and bugs much more quickly, and share code across platforms, giving us more time to spend designing and developing the core functionality of Captain Plugins.

Using cloud-tech means a smaller installation footprint on your computer, since we don’t need to include the masses of music theory and performance data that works behind-the-scenes to make Captain Plugins so effective. In addition, using cloud-tech provides better security for all.

Q – Does it work on other DAWs other than Ableton and Logic?

A – Yes – we have added many more DAWs to our compatibility list. For a complete listing of compatible DAWs click here.

Q – Why doesn’t Captain Melody auto-generate notes when I open it, like it did in earlier versions?

How To Install Vst Plugins Cubase

A – We gave Captain Melody a radical overhaul. We redesigned almost every single aspect, to give you the greatest degree of control and customization. The preset patterns have been replaced by a much more powerful, multi-faceted tool for the creation of unique, exciting melodies. Captain Melody is now a deeper, more complex tool than earlier versions. We highly recommend watching the tutorials so you understand the controls better.

Q – Where are the old preset rhythms from Melody 1?

A – These can be accessed in the Brush Tool options. Click the Custom button to reveal the Melody rhythm presets from earlier versions.

We know some users find it frustrating or difficult to be online while making music. Ultimately, we chose higher-quality results instead of offline functionality. For many reasons, the online model allows us to deliver a better product.

Another reason for the online model is piracy. As a small company, we have to take steps to reduce theft. Requiring a permanent network connection is the most effective way to combat piracy, and comes with the added benefit of improved functionality. Protecting our revenue in turn enables us to keep developing better products and more updates for our customers.

*Midi Routing may not work. BlueCat Audio Patchwork may be needed in some instances.

Installing Syntheway Audio Units (AU) Plug-ins .component files in Apple Logic Pro

Logic Pro can act as a host for (compliant, correctly installed and authorized) Audio Units effect and instrument plug-ins from other manufacturers. Logic Pro can also control TDM plug-ins when Pro Tools audio hardware is used. Details on the use of TDM plug-ins can be found in theLogic Pro TDM Guide.

Important:Logic Pro cannot act as a host for plug-ins in VST or RTAS format. There are, however, utilities such as the VST to Audio Units Adapter (http://www.fxpansion.com), that “wrap” Mac OS X versions of VST plug-ins to create virtual Audio Units. Once wrapped, most of these plug-ins behave, and can be used, just like Audio Units.

Installing Audio Units .component files

AU Audio Unit Installation for macOS (Previously Mac OS X, then OS X):

Instructions:

1.- After download, double-click on the .dmg file (Apple disk image format, HFS+ volume). This will open the file with DiskImageMounter utility. Otherwise, right-click the .dmg file and select Open with > DiskImageMounter from the menu. A dialog window will appear, verifying the file and mounting it. Once mounted, the .dmg will appear in the Finder sidebar under the 'Devices' header along with the hard drive.

2.- Open a Finder window (click the 'Finder' icon in the dock). Highlight the mounted image file within Finder's sidebar. A list of the files within the .dmg will appear in the main Finder window pane.

3.- Drag the files you wish to extract to the desired destination on your computer as for example to your Mac desktop or directly drag the Audio Unit (.component) to your 'Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/' folder.

4.- Unmount the .dmg after you have extracted all desired files by clicking the small 'Eject' icon next to the mounted image in Finder's sidebar. Additionally, you can right-click (Ctrl-click) the mounted .dmg icon on the desktop and select 'Eject' or simply unmount the virtual drive by dragging it to the Trash (Note that this will not delete the files from your computer, the dmg file will still be there).

5.- If you have the extracted files in your Mac desktop, move the '.component' file to the Components folder in your audio plugins folder. Usually Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/

6.- If your DAW is running, close it and restart it. When your DAW starts up, it will rescan your plugins folder and detect your recently installed plugin.
