Ah, you're running Logic. Then you're out of luck, I'm afraid.stikygum wrote:Ah, thanks for pointing that out. So I just put it in the VST folder in my main HardDrive library. I don't see it show up in Logic though. In Logic, how do you open it? I didn't see it when I search through my softsynths/fx.
Logic doesn't support the VST format at all, only the OS X native AU (Audio Unit) format. And the fundamental problem with AUs in this particular scenario is that they can't send out MIDI - for some unscrutable reason MIDI OUT has been left out of the AU spec! That's why there is no AU version of Kirnu.
Ableton Live for Mac supports both the AU and VST formats, though.
Another solution might be Plogue Bidule, a plug-in 'environment' that accepts VST and AU both. The stand-alone version is a free download (so far) but unfortunately, you have to buy the full version in order to get the AU plug-in that can host a VST. Just google Plogue Bidule - and be prepared to be a bit confused at first…
The long and the short of it is that Kirnu won't work in Logic, unless you 'wrap' it in Bidule. And that's why I use Live 8 for that kind of situations.
Just a caveat: I haven't actually run Kirnu through Bidule in Logic. It should work, but you never know.
Perhaps someone else can come up with some clever scheme? Is there a cheap/freeware Mac VST host that can use ReWire, for example?

and I opened the Live Log to look for some error but nothing...
