Looking for beta testers for AUv3 based Visual Plugin

Hi!

I’m building a MacOS AUv3 based Visual plugin, I’m mainly using it with Ableton Live but should work fine with other DAWs.

I put together a little showcase here if you’re interested, with a signup link for the beta-waitlist if it sounds interesting. VFX Live - Rhythmic Visions – Video Effect Apps

Would love to craft it together with some other fellow creators.

I’m looking to release it around Q1 next year. But would really like to start beta testing it quite soon…
It will be reasonably priced, no rip-off :slight_smile:

I hope more people sign up.

I have too much on my plate to provide any meaningful contribution, but would love to see more plugins like this.

By this do you mean it’s an Audio Unit (Apple’s own plugin format) or that it’s an audio-visual FX plugin? I’m on Mac but I exclusively use Bitwig on there and that doesn’t accept AUs, only VSTs

Apple’s own plugin format. I see that my composing of words went a little mayhem there. It should be AuV3-plugin for video effects.

Thanks for the responses!

Ableton has some great stock devices for doing signal processing, so setting up a bandpass filter with an envelope follower for low, mids and highs and connecting it to the AU-plugins parameters is a breezer. But how does this work with Bitwig or logic for example? Anyone here using other DAWs than ableton that could provide some insight?

The best would of course be to build in an envelope follower in the plugin, for low/mids/highs. This would easen the signal chain for the user. But would require quite some work.

What are you building the plug-in with?

Bitwig has the spectral suite plugins that divide audio in various ways to allow separate processing on certain frequency bands, etc. But like I say, it doesn’t accept AU plugins, so it’s a no go

It’s built in Natively for mac on XCode using swift/c++/metal

I guess built in signal processing would be necessary then… :slight_smile: I would like to have it work with other DAWs than Ableton too.

Cool to see the interest around it :slight_smile:

It’s getting closer to a beta release… still some work left.

Here’s a little update; Based on the responses in the thread, I realised that it needs to have envelope following capabilities built in. I mean… it is an AuV3-effect after all so it kinda makes sense that it would process incoming audio. Even if Bitwig doesn’t support AU-plugs right now, they might adjust that in the future. And it should work in Logic and other DAWs as well imo.

I’ve also added support for rearranging effect groups, slicker UI, saving and loading presets, improved signal processing and mapping – and displaying on an external screen.

In the roadmap I have some more generative stuff incoming:

  • Support for GIFs through Giphy
  • Support for adding a video playback
  • Support for adding a logo/graphic
  • Support for camera input

Anything else you’d like to see?

Here are some sneak peaks

Please include a decent MIDI mapping capability. I’m using Synesthesia but the playlist cannot be completely MIDI controlled.

Happy to share some use cases
