Hi Ben, thanks for your suggestion.

I'm doing quite the same thing as you.
But my AU component is a real wrapper, I does not recompile the vst code, but I open the
vst plugin and use it as a vst host.
Then I have some problems due to the vst sdk. For example when I get a mouse event,
I call the vst dispatcher and I don't get out of the dispatcher until I get a mouse up.
I use a custom thread to dispatch such events whithout totallly hanging Logic, but I wonder
if this is not the problem which prevent Logic from recording automation.

Best regards,

Nicolas


Hi Nicolas,

I use a custom GUI with the help of Emagic's VSTAU wrapper. I implemented the following code in the
setParameterAutomated(), beginEdit() and endEdit() VST functions. Seems to work OK....

void CVST2AUPlugin::setParameterAutomated(long lIdx, float rVal)
{
// Set parameter and call host for automation

setParameter (lIdx, rVal);

float value = GetParameterTranslated (lIdx);

AudioUnitParameter sPar={m_AudioUnit, AudioUnitParameterID (lIdx), kAudioUnitScope_Global, 0};

AUParameterSet (NULL, NULL, &sPar, value, 0);

}


bool CVST2AUPlugin::beginEdit (long parID)
{
AudioUnitParameter sPar={m_AudioUnit, AudioUnitParameterID (parID), kAudioUnitScope_Global, 0};

if (m_AudioUnitView)
m_AudioUnitView->TellListener ((AUVParameter&)(sPar), kAudioUnitCarbonViewEvent_MouseDownInControl, NULL);

return true;
}
/
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------
------

bool CVST2AUPlugin::endEdit (long parID)
{
AudioUnitParameter sPar={m_AudioUnit, AudioUnitParameterID (parID), kAudioUnitScope_Global, 0};

if (m_AudioUnitView)
m_AudioUnitView->TellListener ((AUVParameter&)(sPar), kAudioUnitCarbonViewEvent_MouseUpInControl, NULL);

return true;
}

Hope this helps,
Ben.

Hello,

I'm actually woking on an audio unit wrapper for our vst instrument, and
I have some problems about automation in Logic.

As It's a wrapper, I have a custom gui (based on CarbonViewBase).

In Logic the automation works fine in 'control mode', then I think I correctly implement the
GetParameterList and the GetParameterInfo functions.

But with our own gui, it doesn't work.
As Nikolaus Gerteis suggested on this list, I (try to) notify Logic on the
beginning of the automation with a call to TellListener :
TellListener( (AUVParameter&)(au_param) , kAudioUnitCarbonViewEvent_MouseDownInControl , NULL )

kAudioUnitCarbonViewEvent_MouseUpInControl , NULL )

In fact, I call the first TellListener on the first audioMasterAutomate call, and the second when the mouse
is released.

Is it a correct way to do automation with Logic ? I must have missed something, but I can't find what.

Any help would be great ! Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
Nicolas
