When I enable Host Autmation into Omnisphere for example, the actual name, or at least a shortened version, shows up in the automation parameters into logic. The same goes for every single plugin, except for Chainer and... Magma MFX. The latter features 1000 host id's and is therefore a bit less glitchy. Logic has some issues handling too many automation parameters. Fact is, none of the other effects I have give me issues every single time I click on the automation sub-menu, not even magma, and that means most of the time that it's either a graphics issue or that it's having trouble handling those params (and I'd go for the latter, because when the plug-in window is closed, it does the same anyway). A rainbow wheel every 30 secs with a list of thousands of param 0XXX isn't very pleasing to work with if you see what I mean, and hopefully you do. It looks like Spectrasonics (to some extent), Nomad Factory, and DC are using the same host ID system. The question is now, how can we make sure they work the same way?? In the case of Spectrasonics, it works flawlessly. In the case of magma and plug&mix Chainer, it looks like it's a bit different. Omnisphere and Trillian feature 256 automation slots for the host automation, and in most cases, it's more than enough! That's just my point here. Giving access to thousands of parameters in the automation isn't absolutely necessary in most cases, but that's an open debate. as a workaround for too many automation parameters in logic you could try the "latch" function. pretty convenient i use it most of the time because i'm also always tired of endless lists showing up for only one plugin. BUT, i have to admit that i haven't tried latch with chainer myself yet, because the plugin itself just wouldn't work at all for me in the current version. mac os x yosemite (latest version) logic pro x (10.1.X - latest version) no interface |

Now to answer the issues where some of you encounter "Installation Failed", that is most likely a "Permission" issue where the installer is not able to create all folders in the library, specially the P&M plugin folder. The first thing to do is "Repair Permissions" relaunch and re-install the chainer. Kind Regards - Eric Do you really think we are rookies and don't know this basic "support things for dummies 2001"? Sorry, it failed on 3 of my Mac, 4 OSX testers partitions, etc, on all instalation failed. period. |

Problem: no P&M plug ins are in the Chainer menu
iMac Retina 4GHz i7 OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 ProTools 10.3.10 I own VIP Bundle and therefore Chainer. Installs appear to work fine. After reading other suggestions, I checked in library/application support... - the subfolder PM Plug-Ins was already there and contained 45 plug in files. All looked correct. Authorisation for Chainer accepts the serial and says active on this computer. (I have activated after the install, and via the plugin Prefs menu, numerous times, closed restarted the plug in, closed, restarted the host) The bottom of Chainer still says 'VST Demo' I also cleaned permissions ran scripts etc with Onyx and reinstalled chainer, and reauthorised again many times, no difference. After scanning, VST effects and instruments re there and appear to work fine, but there is no submenu for 'PM Plug-Ins' so I cannot add or chain any. Help appreciated as I don't know what else to try |

I got the same error message after installing P&M v3.3--AAE Error -7054. All v3.3 plug-ins won't load. Earlier version (pre-Chainer) worked flawlessly.

Intel Duo Core
Windows 7 x64 Ableton Live 9 x32 Just loading an empty PM Chainer shoots the cpu usage to max. Closed and restarted Live, same result. Ended up uninstalling Chainer after that (my usage would be to chain a MIDI vst like Kirnu Cream, but seems Chainer is Audio only[?] ), so sorry I can't be more useful. |

Hello pottering, That will be fixed in the next version as it has been seen by the developers. The Chainer does allow VSTi, if it is not working, I suspect the authorisation failed, did you get a 'Authorisation Successful' message at the end of the install? Best Regards, Nick |

Hi there,
Pro Tools 11.3.1 crashes while scanning plugins upon first startup after insatlling P&M VIP Bundle 3.3.0 an a Mac Pro runnig OS 10.9.2. PT gets stuck while trying to initialize the Retro Compressor AAX plugin during the application startup procedure. Moving "PM-Retro Compressor.aaxplugin" out of "/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins" resolves the issue. Pro Tools starts up properly, all P&M plugins (including chainer) work as they should except, of course, for the Retro Comp which is missing. I already experienced the same issue with an earlier P&M bulid using PT 10.3.10 on the same machine. VST and AU versions run fine in other hosts. I guess there must be some difference in "PM-Retro Compressor.aaxplugin" compared to all the other plugins, that prevent PT from loading it properly. Help is greatly appreciated since I'd love to use the Retro Comp along to all the other great plugins! Best -Felix Mac Pro Mac OS 10.9.2 P&M VIP 3.3.0 Pro Tools 11.3.1 |

Anyone else get the same weird plugin editor/window behavior when loading Meldaproductions vst fx?
I'm using Mtotalbundle version 9.00 beta 1, and so far every time I load one in the chainer, the fx's editor window will open at the very top and left portion of the screen. The chainer also won't automatically resize to fit the larger melda default GUIs, and I'm unable to reposition the window (because the window's title bar is unseen) until I manually resize the window (thus exposing the title bar). I have to do this each time I load, or close then reopen a melda plugin window in the chainer. Haven't had this issue with any other brand of vst/i, within Chainer, and I don't have this issue with this Melda version outside of Chainer. Using the 1.1 64 bit version of the P&M Chainer on Win 7 64. |

Here's another bug I discovered using the Chainer AAX plugin in Pro Tools 11 in combination with the SIR2 VST plugin (http://www.siraudiotools.com/). Within chainer the SIR2 plugin loads flawlessly and I can open and reopen the editor window after closing it. As soon as the session has been closed only once and opened again, clicking the editor button of the SIR2 instance in chainer to open the SIR2 editor window immediately crashes Pro Tools. If I avoid opening the editor audio is still flowing correcltly like before the session was closed for the first time. Of course the problem could also be related to the plugin, I will inform them, too.
I get this exact behaviour on my two different systems: Mac Pro Mac OS 10.9.2 P&M VIP 3.3.0 Chainer 1.1.0 SIR2 v.2.4.011z7 Pro Tools 11.3.1 (native) MacBook Pro Mac OS 10.10.3 P&M VIP 3.3.0 Chainer 1.1.0 SIR2 v.2.4.011z7 Pro Tools 11.3.1 (native) |

Hi Nick, I've tried out chainer v1.2 and the problem still exists like described in my previous post. Best Felix Hello Felix, I have brought the fact that the Chainer doesn't like the SIR2 VST plugin to the attention of our developers. I thought it might be fixed in time for the 1.2 release but it looks like it will take a bit longer. Best Regards, Nick |
