There is no real way for an AU to control an external synth - audio units are for generating audio (or processing)...

Unless something has changed since I fiddled with this a few years back, you can certainly communicate directly with CoreMIDI from inside an AU, so you can talk to any MIDI ports in the system from an AU.


I suspect the original poster is looking to put together an editor (or similar) for a hardware synth and merely use the AU framework as a convenient way of hosting that within existing audio/MIDI applications? Not really an AU in that no audio is being generated or processed, but from a user's point of view AU simply means "a plugin for app XYZ that does something I want".
