    Hello,
    I recently switched to LPX 10, mostly due to the "32 Lives" plug-in that resurrected a lot of 32 bit plug-ins I am still using.
    However I am still searching a way to run the "old" *paid* GRM Tools suite on LPX... I love Bandpass stereo effect ! It is VST-Only and I was running it on LP9 using VST to AU converter that, unfortunately , don't work anymore on OSX Mavericks.
    I know that INA/GRM have released 64 bit upgrade of those plugin , but since it is an iLok paid upgrade, I wouldn't want to pay for it !
    Somebody told me about hosting it in Plogue Bidule, but I am not very familiar with Rewire on effects and , if possible, I would like to run it directly.

    Thanks in advance for any help !

    Well, sometimes you have to decide what you want: using the old or the new……?
    I don't understand you folks out there using always the newest stuff/DAWs but then asking for solutions to use old Plug-Ins. Why don't you still use Logic Pro 9 instead if you really want to use them?? You can't always have this & that, furthermore without paying nothing. Just my thoughts.
    :bow: *yes*

    I use Logic X and Logic 9 on Moutain Lion. And i hesitated a lot before choosing ML over MV. But it was the right choice, for at least one year.Mavericks is an audio plague :wow:

    About a solution, using a VST to AU plugin host like Maschine/Bidule can work. But you need first to convert VST x86 to x64 format.

    Try "jBridgeM", the Mac version, to convert VST x86 to VST x64.
    And use Maschine,Bidule or any other x64 VST to x64 AU host inside Logix X.

    It should work :wink:
    Some ppl used this trick to run Sylenth inside Logic X before 32lives (check Youtube/Google).
    Good luck ! :wink:

    Even if you're maybe not poor, you clearly show mental poverty.
    Why? First of all for all your grammatical errors.
    Then: Being scornful, cynical with the life-situation of others doesn't make you noble but poorer than the poorest soul on Earth.

    For the record :

    I managed to start VST to AU converter in OSX Maverick... (I had to run it from the desktop instead of running it from Application folder).
    I then converted "old" GRM tools to 32 bit AU and "wrapped" them with SoundRadix 32 Lives. It worked !
    Now I can use old / good sounding / *PAID* GRM Bandpass Stereo on LPX. I am an happy guy ! :) GUI interface is glitchy and flashes every two seconds, but once loaded I can use automations etc.

    Same here. But I used Vst to AU Adapter 2.0 (FxPansion) without running into any problems. You can also use the function in Logic that switches the GUI to textboxes,
    so you don't have to use automation. But you gotta know the plugins really well. Which I, in GRMs case don't. So, it's sometimes a little messy to use them in this way.
