[Linuxsampler-devel] Mac AU plugin issue

[Robert O. <rob...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I’m not sure if this has been reported before, but there seems to be an issue with the AU plugin on macOS Mojave.

I’ve tested the latest and earlier versions using Logic Pro X with various Giga instruments, and when sending a note via a midi keyboard, sample playback cuts out a few milliseconds into the played sample. Sometimes, faster playing results in a full note, however playing another note afterwards results in a very short note again.

All the best,
Rob

Does this only happen with the AU, or also when you use the stand-alone app?

How many LS parts/tracks are you using in Logic?

I have tested it just now via QSampler, and the issue seems to be the same, no matter what instrument I load.

It varies, in this particular instance I have used 12, but I have also tried with a single channel only.

All the best,

I don't get that behaviour with macOS 10.14.3 using the stand-alone app.

To avoid misapprehensions: Make sure you closed Logic, and for now (just in 
this particular case) reboot the Mac, then use QSampler to create only one 
part, and when you create that part make sure that "CoreAudio" as audio driver 
and "CoreMIDI" as MIDI driver is selected in those two combo boxes before you 
actually create the sampler part with QSampler.

Background: the sampler actually allows quite exotic setups, and when you 
start the sampler as plugin (e.g. in Logic) you may even use the sampler in a 
mixed setup with other apps, even using multiple different drivers (AU/VST 
plugin, CoreAudio, CoreMIDI, JACK) simultaniously.

You are right, the standalone version seems to be working when I followed the steps you suggested. There are no cutouts and the instruments work as expected. This is probably an AU plugin issue.

All the best,

Ok, I will look into that AU issue a bit later. Currently I don't have Logic 
installed, so I can't test the AU ATM.

Thank you very much. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.
