I'm not interested in the P&M plugins though and don't want to instal a load of extra plugins on my system either, it would be good if there was just a chainer download, I just want to test its plugin loading capabilities.

I second that. 500+ megabytes download to get chainer is not encouraging...

Am I missing something. I can add plugin folders to be scanned, but I can't change the default plugin folder to what I want.

Magma by Nomad Factory is the big brother of Chainer

Is it? Maybe the effects are better but it doesn't seem to load AU plugins whereas Chainer does.

Hello Everyone,
... Regarding AU, we are not planning to support AU because almost all plug-ins on the market are VST & AU plug-ins, most of the AU plug-ins uses internal wrapper to build AU binaries, if not internal, it can be external, in fact a VST plug-in is located inside the AU.component.

Plug-ins that are not VST are actually made by Apple and maybe some other companies, frankly, I don't know.

If you have some AU plug-ins that are not VST, please feel free to post their names and companies who are making those plug-ins and we will be happy to take a look at it.

Thank you,

Sure, Chainer itself can load as an AU plugin, but it hosts only VST2.

Oh I misunderstood what it meant by supporting AU now, even less interested then. My main interest would have been using it to get AUs into Bitwig.

BlueCat's PatchWork, DDMF's MetaPlugin, or Plogue Bidule then ?

All have flaws unfortunately, Bidule is the best of the 3 though.

Yes Tek I do but it won't change "C:\Program Files\Vstplugins" to what I want. In fact it won't delete that address or anything .

Ahh I see. You're right it won't change. I'm guessing that's because the default folder is where the Chainer plugin itself is installed so maybe changing it would not be good ? I suppose you could uninstall and reinstall to a different default but that's not something I could advise.

Out of curiosity why would you want or need to change the default ? There are four other slots for extra folders so I guess I don't see the need to change the default.

I just wanted to tidy things up as I'm getting multiple entry's of plugins. Some plugins seem to automatically install in C drive even if you point them elsewhere when installing. No biggy but it would be nice to have been able to have made a folder with only the plugins I wanted the chainer to "see" and then chose to load.

On Windows, I updated the VIP Bundle to v3.3.0 but all the Plugins are displaying v3.1.0.

New Chainer Plugin from Plug&Mix
