Yes, exactly. The desire for the the "controls" view is mostly aesthetic and would be preferred when doing work with beta testers before the UI is ready. The fact that it is user selectable (and recallable on save) made me wonder if it could be selected or "preferred" programmatically.
Thanks for the responses.

In contrast, when one of Logic's own proprietary plug-ins does not have a custom UI, Logic uses what Devin is calling a "controls" view. This Controls view is also created on-the-fly for any plug-in, including an AU, and Devin wants users to see this instead of the generic view.

Unfortunately, the user must manually select this because the CoreAudio generic view comes up by default. The only way to control the look and feel of your AU in Logic is to provide a UI of your own. Compare this to Ableton Live, where the "generic" view fits in much more nicely than the CoreAudio generic view.
