Hi,

I am trying to split the audio units that I create into sub categories. I currently have created over 25 Audio Units and they all display as a long list under my company name in Logic. I am trying to set it to where I have sub categories. For instance instead of going to Audio Units -> MyCompanyName -> Effect, I want to go to Audio Units -> MyCompanyName -> Sub Category1 -> Effect when selecting a particular effect in Logic’s inspector pane. This way I can neatly organize all of my audio units. Currently under my Info.plist I have MyCompanyName: Effect in the “Name section”. I tried doing MyCompanyName: Sub Category1: Effect to create a sub category but this did not work. Thank you for your help!

good luck with that.

audio unit identifiers have 3 fields. From my own source code, a comment:

        /* although apple designed the subtype field to be a "category" indicator,
           its really turned into a plugin ID field for a given manufacturer. Hence
           there are no categories for AudioUnits. However, to keep the plugins
           showing up under "categories", we'll use the "type" as a high level
           selector. */

you cannot add extra fields/subfields.

if you want classification, you need to use the same identifier format as apple does for its own AU, by omitting your company name.

stupid. hopefully there's some brilliant workaround.
