Audio Unit not detected in Live 11

Help & Support

Hi!

I did a fresh installation of ChordJam, Riffer and PlayBeat 3 (no previous trial installs).
When I search for those plugins in Live 11 I can only find the PlayBeat Audio Unit. ChordJam and Riffer are only available as VST.
The Audio Units of ChordJam and Riffer seem to be installed though:

macmini:Components root# find .|grep -i riffer
./Riffer.component
./Riffer.component/Contents
./Riffer.component/Contents/_CodeSignature
./Riffer.component/Contents/_CodeSignature/CodeResources
./Riffer.component/Contents/MacOS
./Riffer.component/Contents/MacOS/Riffer
./Riffer.component/Contents/Resources
./Riffer.component/Contents/Resources/Icon.icns
./Riffer.component/Contents/Resources/Riffer.rsrc
./Riffer.component/Contents/Resources/RecentFilesMenuTemplate.nib
./Riffer.component/Contents/Info.plist
./Riffer.component/Contents/PkgInfo

macmini:Components root# find .|grep -i chordjam
./Chordjam.component
./Chordjam.component/Contents
./Chordjam.component/Contents/_CodeSignature
./Chordjam.component/Contents/_CodeSignature/CodeResources
./Chordjam.component/Contents/MacOS
./Chordjam.component/Contents/MacOS/Chordjam
./Chordjam.component/Contents/Resources
./Chordjam.component/Contents/Resources/Chordjam.rsrc
./Chordjam.component/Contents/Resources/Icon.icns
./Chordjam.component/Contents/Info.plist
./Chordjam.component/Contents/PkgInfo

macmini:Components root# pwd
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

I did a re-install of ChordJam and Riffer but sadly that didn’t solve the problem.
Platform is a Mac Mini M1 with macOS Monterey 12.4
What could it be?

Cheers,
Roland

Hello Roland,

Thanks for reaching out. That is the correct behaviour.
All AU plug-ins do not support a direct MIDI out. If you wish to route MIDI from a plug-in you need to use the VST or VST3 version instead.

See this article from the official Ableton help-desk:

Never knew that!
Thanks for the answer.
