    Hello,

    I was wondering if anyone could help with a small problem I've got. Maybe the solution is simple, but I just have no idea how this works.

    I recently downloaded my Vienna Imperial Library and installed the contents. Everything works, I can use the Standalone version without any problems. However I don't now how to use it as a Plugin/AU-Instrument. Are there .vst and .component files somewhere? It does not appear in my Logic Pro X list of AU-Instruments... 

    So my question basically is: How can I use the Vienna Imperial as a plugin in Logic Pro X?

    Thank you for any hints ;)

    It should be there under Intruments/Au Intruments/VSL.

     

    If not try reinstalling or

    open the plugin manager to see if its there and successfully validated.

    If not validated try reset and rescan selection.

     

    Hpe this will help

    Hi André, 

    Standard installation location for A//VST plug-ins on OS X is /Library/Audio/plug-ins directly on your system drive. 

    This is all handled automatically on OS X. 

    If you cannot see plug-ins in Logic, check if your plug-ins are valided in the Plug-In Manager (Logic => Preferences => Plug-in Manager). 

    Best,

    Thank you for your answer.

    I simply had to open and close Logic a couple of times. Then suddenly it loaded the AU-Instrument automatically ;)

    Hi Paul, I realize this post is 5 years old now, but I am having the same problem as the other user: I can open the Vienna Imperial Player as a stand-alone instrument, but I cannot locate it within Logic. I checked the folder you mentioned: /Library/VST/Plug-Ins and I see multiple sub-folders, including Components, HAL, MAS, RemoteInput, VST, VST2, and VST3. I see that most of my VSL products are listed either in the VST folder or the VST3 folder. The file Vienna_Imperial.vst is listed in the VST folder. However, it is simply not showing up in Logic. I went to the Logic plug-in manager, and I do not see it listed there, either. Do I have to use the Imperial Player for the Bosendorfer samples, or can I use Vienna Instruments Pro 2? Thank you! Tim

    Hi tburg1, 

    Did you clear your Audio Unit cache already?

    1. In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    2. Type ~/Library/Caches in the "Go to the folder" field.
    3. Press the Go button. Remove the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" file. Remove the ~/Library/Caches/AudioUnitCache folder.

    Hope that helps!

    Best,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    Thank you for the response. That folder and that file do not exist on my computer. I searched different ways for them and using different versions of the names. I do have a /Library/Caches folder, but the only sub-folders in there that are relevant are com.apple.cloudkit are com.apple.iconservices.store. I do have a /Library/Apple folder, as well as a Library/ApplicationSupport folder, and a /Library/Audio folder, but no relevant files in them that I can discern. I do have Catalina installed, if that matters.

    Thank you,

    Tim

    Hi Paul,

    I ended up uninstalling the Vienna Imperial Player, and deleting any files relating to Vienna Imperial from my computer, and then downloading fresh copies of everything--the player and the samples (all gigabytes), then reinstalled everything, then restarting my computer. That worked! I have no idea WHY it worked or HOW it worked, but at least now I can find and open up Vienna Imperial within Logic.

    Thanks,

    Tim
