Manager Pane: Use NI Audio Units Checkbox (Mac OS X Only)
On Mac OS X, the Manager pane contains an additional Use NI Audio Units checkbox. Check
this box to include the Audio Units (AU) versions of your Native Instruments plug-ins in the
software’s Plug-in menus and in the controller’s Plug-in Browser:
â–ª If this checkbox is disabled (default setting), the AU versions of your Native Instruments
plug-ins are still listed in the list above but they are disabled (checkbox unchecked): These
Plug-ins won’t appear in the Native Instruments submenu of the Plug-in menus (software)
or in the Plug-in Browser (controller). Additionally, the remaining entries for Native Instru-
ments Plug-ins (all of them VST) won’t display the (VST) mention next to their name.
▪ If you enable the Use NI Audio Units checkbox, all Native Instruments’ AU plug-ins are en-
abled in the list above and are available for loading in MASCHINE. In order to distinguish
them from the VST versions, Plug-in entries in the Native Instruments submenu of the
Plug-in menus and in the Plug-in Browser will display either (VST) or (AU) after their name.
You can also enable or disable Native Instruments’ AU plug-ins individually in the list via the
checkboxes described above — as soon as you enable one of them, the Use NI Audio Units
checkbox is automatically activated.
The Use NI Audio Units checkbox relates only to AU plug-ins from Native Instruments.
AU plug-ins from third-party manufacturers are not affected by this setting.
When the Use NI Audio Units checkbox is disabled or the AU version of a Native Instru-
ments plug-in is disabled, you can still load Projects that use AU plug-ins.
