Can't seem to find one and I need to know plugin IDs as that's how Bitwig names Device panels. On Windows there are a couple (but old) eg VST Spy but nothing on Mac?

I assume you are looking for the four-letter ID codes.

You can use MuLab to pull the ID and a lot of other information regarding a plugin. Load the plugin and select Show Info from the menu. It will display the unique ID in both literals and hex.

You can also inspect the package and open the info.plist or pkginfo files for just the code.
I started on Logic 5 with a PowerBook G4 550Mhz. I now have a MacBook Air M1 and it's ~165x faster! So, why is my music not proportionally better? :(

Hi, need also to check the unique VST ID's on Mac and downloaded Mulab 9.0 but the Info doesn't show the unique ID in the popup...
Or I may have missed it. If yes, where is it in the Info window?
If not, any other hint?
I tried Ableton and Reaper but didn't find the ID either...
Thx in advance for your help!
