Default Plugins that don't work with Reaper OSX

Hi.

First of all, apologies to those patient OSX users who have been reporting problems and not getting anywhere near the responsiveness that Windows users get.

Please use this sticky thread to report plugins that Reaper OSX does not support properly, and a description of how to make the plugin fail if it's not something obvious like "loading the plugin crashes Reaper."

Plugins that offer demo versions or are responsive to giving development NFRs will get priority.

Thank you schwa! Your attention and feedback are greatly appreciated!

POD Farm 1.03 is still a problem as explained here: http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php...9&postcount=10

This can be tested with the downloadable version - even without the hardware unlocking the product the bugs can be observed.

Also ReaNeq won't run right on OSX

Same here.

by the way : THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS THREAD !!

I have GUI displaying problems with iZotope Ozone (all versions).
Native Instruments Reaktor behaves strangely, as well : it runs at the right tempo, but off-time, with a kinda lag ... I tried to fiddle with prefs but no way.
Native Instruments FM8 is still not responding properly to automation (this one is pretty bad and frustrating).

I know there are others, I'll post them shortly.

AUs and VSTs seem to get a different treatment, as well ... especially VSTIs (?).

Today I booted guitar rig 2 and the box that reaper drew for the GUI was the wrong size. I know it's small but it's extremely annoying (and might confuse new users of the program cause it hides important scroll boxes in guitar rig 2) and i figure it will be easy to fix.

Cheers for this thread guys!

Studio Devil's British Valve Custom amp sim does funny things if you open it as an FX chain, like this:



... well that's not very funny, but when you close the FX chain (for example by closing the mixer) it looks like this:



... and the only way to get rid of it is to open that same FX chain again and choose another effect in that chain. Then you can close the mixer or whatever without having the Studio Devil GUI all over the place.

Can't tell if this is a problem with the plug in or Reaper since I don't have another host on OSX to test it in.

Regards,
- Jonas

MPL-1 Pro SE from Kjaerhus Audio:

AU has graphical issues (you need to click various parts to get it to show up), settings are not recalled between closing and opening the same project and 'bypass' is the only parameter reported in the FX Parameter drop down.

VST doesn't appear at all (blank white screen)

Just REAPER. It works fine in Live 7, Live 6, GarageBand and Audacity.

I've been hollering about the same glitch in POD Farm AU, there's something really broken in the REAPER AU graphics engine... It messes up the whole screen, even the system menu bar gets blanked out.

Default Rapture 1.2 Gui does not display

Hi,

Just tested Rapture 1.2 and the GUI does not display or work in Reaper 3.0.

Test Rapture in Logic Express and it works fine.

Hi, there!

Just loaded Reaper yesterday, and I'm already committed to dropping both Logic 8 and Digital Performer 6. This software is AWESOME. Reminds me of Sonar in its' intuitiveness, but it's light on the processor and rock solid!

So far, I have 2 pieces of software that cause problems. I'm running an Intel Mac 8-core, 2.8 gHz with 10 GB RAM.

1. Omnisphere AU (1.8) crashes Reaper outright. Adding it as a virtual instrument crashes Reaper.

2. Loading Superior Drummer 2 AU (ver 2.0.2) loads the GUI fine, and loads the samples, but playing the drum kit shows MIDI data coming in, but no audio out. I think this also might be me, not understanding how to route multi-output devices correctly in Reaper.

Regardless, these are my two instruments that don't load correctly. Komplete 5 loads like a charm!

Thanks again, for a killer app! Looking forward to writing lots of music with it!

Mike

Greetings, I registered in order to contribute to this thread. I'm a nonprofessional user so weight my opinions accordingly.

kl. Fineline - UI doesn't draw in Reaper OSX, functional with the reaper native UI mode, but generally crashes after 5 minutes or so of use.

kl. Drummachine R8 - Similar to above: UI doesn't draw until one of the (invisible) UI buttons is clicked on, when the FX window loses focus the UI becomes invisible again.

Kl stuff uses Pluggo, and all of their vsti's have similar glitches, so my guess is that OSX reaper has some kind of issue with pluggo compatibility.

Also - OhmForce Frohmage has a nondrawing UI until one of its buttons/knobs is used or the FX window is resized. I believe Ohmforce also uses Pluggo?

edit: all of the above are freeware/shareware/donationware
edit: using osx 10.4 intel mac

Late edit: Kl .Plugins now work for me as of Reaper 3.104!

No problem with Zebra 2.3 here on intel, 10.5.4. Does it work ok in other hosts?

Bill.

Woa, wait, what?! Priority bump this one pretty please with sugar on top! One of the prettiest GUI's *ever* (shift > fine control with smooth *subpixel* animations should be *mandatory* ;-P), and I'm sure Magnus (the dev) is flexible about dev NFRs.

Apple's DLSMusicDevice SoundFont player (QuickTime) doesn't work. It's afree GM sound library that allows for instant song sketching, so IMO it should work.

Would not say "doesn´t work" but kind of GUI error with reacontrol midi if open up from the mixer.

[img=http://img190.**************/img190/9960/bild1y.th.png]

I´m not able to use the side-scrollbar in that plugin.

To replicate put a fx before or after reacontrol midi and open from the mixer.
Sometimes it happens without other plugins in the chain.


OSX intel 3.02

Thanks for finding time for us OSX'ers as well. Greatly appreciated!
And congrats on ver. 3 - you are my heroes!

PLUG problems (all of them work fine in logic studio as either AU or AU-wrapped from vst via fxpansion) :

- BFD Demo (i wonder if it goes for the full prog as well) has no GUI - even on resize or actions. I seem to recall a GUI being there before upgrading to version 3

- Anything Arturia seems to cause frequent crashes on 3.00 but now seems to work fine for 3.01.
Althought the Minimoog V comes up with only bypass as an option for paramter modulation. This is only in the AU version though. The VST seems to work fine

- The TAL-TOGU Bass line synth has no audio at all and does not seem to respond to midi (at least the fancy keyboard graphics don't). could have a ot to do with this reaper error message when loading the plug: "Could not get channel info for effects (are they multichannel?)" - it is not multichannel though.

I have more, but I cant think of them right now. I'll do some more thorough checking when I get the chance

Update for MPL-1 Pro.

AU graphical issues seem to be resolved with 3.02 but parameter reporting is still whack and settings still aren't retained between closing and re-opening projects.

VST still doesn't show up at all.

OMNISPHERE WORKS!!! Just booted it up in 3.02; Thank you, thankyouthankyouthankyou!

Only thing left for me is to get Superior Drummer 2 working. Still not routing the audio correctly. But Omnisphere Works!!!

Thanks,

AU version initializes correctly now, finally. BUT when you remove it, it still crashes Reaper.

VST version is still as useless as ever. Do you need a screencap or something to know what I'm talking about?

Default about Reaper for Mac

Hey guys,

I just wanted a few opinions about the mac version of Reaper;
Should I purchase Reaper for mac or just wait a little bit until its more stable? From what I've read in the forums, it seems as though there are many issues with the mac version as oppose to the PC version. What do you think?

Default Arturia plug-ins

Hiya! Decided to take the plunge into Reaper world on my Mac - very promising, but do have a few problems:

My Arturia plug-ins (ARP 2600 & CS-80) crash Reaper outright as AU's, while the VST's push my CPU from 6-8% to over 50% when inserting only one instance of either. As the stand-alone versions only tax about 4-6% of my CPU there's a big difference here.

I'm running Reaper on a 24" iMac 2.4 gHz.

Default OSX Reaper... Plugs

As mentioned already, Stylus RMX AU crashes every time... Although the VST does work. Izotope I-Drum won't work in AU, which I still use a lot. Guess that one isn't a high priority...

Default LAConvolver

The free convolution reverb LAConvolver AU (http://audio.lernvall.com/) seems to cause lockups (GUI freezes). Not a serious issue, but it really sounds great and one can load a miriad of IRs from the net. A definite secret tip! Good convolution reverbs are expensive.

Here's how to reproduce: Hammer on space bar while frequently selecting different start positions on the time ruler. One audio track is enough.

Default JS: Utility/Phase Adjust

I absolutely love the JS: Utility/Phase Adjust plugin on the PC but when I tried to run a session on a Mac the plugin was not available. Is there any chance of a Mac version being released?

Update - Schwa let me know that it was accidentally missed but can be ported over from the PC so I will attempt to do so.

I think another plugin we could use is Tape Saturation.
