Presets from original AU not loading in the wrapped Symbiosis wrapped AU64 of the same plugin

[GE]

Hi all,

I used Symbian 1.29 to port a plugin from Logic9 (AU 32bit) to Logic X (AU64bit), using the original VST 64bit of the plugin (developers are still working on the AU64 native).

All works well, apart from one BIG problem. I used same name and 4 letters code (from the original AU 32bit) in the rsrc file for the Symbiosis version, so Logic X shows me all .aupreset(s) of the original 32bit plugin to load into the Symbiosis wrapped.

The problem is that loading one of those .aupresets does not work in the Symbiosis version, that can load only .aupresets it saved.

Looking the .aupreset files, it seems the format is different...original presets have key 'data', the ones saved by Symbiosis there's key 'vstdata', because understandably Symbiosis saves and reads the vst data part for its VST wrapped plugin.

Is there any way to have Symbiosis reading the original .aupreset files? Maybe converting on the fly from the au data to the vst data?

Doing some more research, plugins from PSPaudioware use their own VSTAU wrapper, and they're able to read/write/convert presets, that means the .aupreset does not contain only the VSTDATA part but the normal DATA part.

Having Symbiosis reading and writing presets without the VST part would make it perfect to go with jBridge and so port all old 32bit plugins to Logic X.

I already used Symbiosis with jBridge and it works well, putting the same code and manufacturer code and name it also loads the old project with the newly wrapped/jbrdiged plugin, but Symbiosis is unable to load presets not containing the VSTDATA and so does not load the original settings from the old songs (or the presets from the original AU 32bit).

Any way to have this implemented? From code it seems to be all there...could be the final step and once done I could prepare a generic use wrapper to use with jBridge for other plugins!

Hey GE,

Do your JBridged plugins validate correctly in logic? If so, how did you do this?

Kind Regards,

Martin

I kind of "hacked" Logic validation to always validate any plugin, but it works only if the problem is just validation: if the plugins cannot open at all and the error is FATAL, then there's something in the wrapper and even if you force it nothing changes, Logic will crash.

Hey Gege,

I'm using it with the Volt & State bridges, thanks so much for this tool!

Did you get progress with this? Being able to convert the presets would be the final piece of the puzzle.
