Recently we got very frustrated in the studio making a new track with Sylenth1 inside Logic Pro X. We tried every solution out there, but doing automations within another plugin wasn't exactly fantastic to work with.

So we came up with a Martin Volt & Quentin State AU Bridge for JBridged VST's. It works pretty well, except that due to how JBridge works, we can't get them to validate successfully into Logic (You will need to Force the plugins to open in Logic).

Included in this Package:
- Audio Ease Bridges (Altiverb 6, Speakerphone and Cabinet)
- Focusrite LiquidMix Bridges (Untested, let me know if they work)
- FXpansion Guru Bridge
- IK Multimedia SampleTank 2.5 Bridge
- Nexus1 Bridge
- PowerCore Bridges (BrickWall, Character, CL1B, DVR2, Dynamic EQ, Master X3, Master X5, MD3 Multiband, Virus PowerCore, Virus PowerCore Multi and VSS3)
- ReFX Vanguard Bridge
- Slate Digital FG-X Bridge
- Softube Bridges
- Soundtoys Bridges
- Sonnox Bridges
- Sonic Charge SynPlant Bridge
- Sugar Bytes WOW Bridge
- Stillwell Audio Schope Bridge
- Sylenth1 Bridge
- Tone2 FilterBank3, WarmVerb & BiFilter2 Bridges
- Vember Audio Surge Bridge
- QuikQuak UpStereo Bridge

Included, but known to cause problems:
- Lexicon PCM Reverb Bridges (will crash Logic Pro X when duplicated)
- Camel Audio CamelPhat (will crash Logic Pro X when clicking on the presets, camel logo)

1. Here's what you will need:
- JBridgeM installed (Full Version and Demo both work, but presets only work in full version) http://jstuff.wordpress.com/jbridgem/
- VST version of the plugin you want to use
- Volt & State BridgePlugins BETA_V16 (Download below)

* It will NOT WORK without JBRIDGEM and the VST version of the instrument!

2. Installation:
- Install JBridgeM
- Place desired Bridge component file inside Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
- Run Logic Pro X, it will come up with an error regarding loading the plugin.
- Go to the AU Manager, select the plugins and click the "Use" checkbox.
- Make an Instrument Channel. Browse to Incompatible > Volt & State/ Manufacturer > Select the preferred plugin.

*For some users it is required to copy their Lexicon VST Plug-Ins back to the default Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST directory, instead of Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Lexicon.
*From testing we have found the Lexicon Bridges to crash Logic if you duplicate them, or they crash logic when loading projects. Please take this into account when using these Lexicon Bridge plugins in serious projects.


*The Bridgeplugins will not validate, you will have to Force Open them to use the plugins.

3. Validation:
If you want to forcedly authorize Audio Units in Logic to get rid of [Incompatible] menu and startup warning message, follow these steps:

1) Use included 'OSX Validate All AUs' App.
2) Exit Logic. Run the downloaded app to enable the "Validate All AUs" mode, re-launch Logic & re-scan your not valid AUs in Logic to get them validated! You'll get rid this way of the [Incompatible] plugin menu voice, and the startup message warning you're using Incompatible Audio Units.

You can use this anytime you want to enable all AUs you want.
(Thanks to gege)

It's free and works with automations. Hopefully somebody comes up with a more satisfying solution, but till then enjoy ;)!
Theoretically we can do a bunch more plugins so if you have suggestions on which plugins you would like to see let us know :)!

PLEASE READ the Readme file before asking questions about validation. Make sure you have installed the right VST, and Jbridge has been installed. And of course, it does not run on Windows.
