Hello

I don't know what has happened here but I installed Arturia's Farfisa Arturia - V Collection X v27.01.2024 for Mac, and when I went to open Logic and it came up with the scanning audio units box, it just hung there for ages and Logic never opened.

I have deleted the AudioUnits Cache forcing it to scan through all my plugins ago, and it is just hanging now on Analog Lab.

I have got my Arturia sound library on my external SSD and make a symlink so Arturia can see sound banks...when I installed Farfisa it did hang quite a bit and give me the message 'about one minute remaining'

Could this be something to do with it?

Thanks in advance

 

You need to provide more info when asking for Mac help. You could have an Intel or a Apple Silicon (m1 or later) processor in the machine. And then you need to include the version of MacOS and the version of Logic might help someone also. Put them in your signature if you do not want to type this out repeatedly. Or something like that.

Arturia collection X is only for use with M1 or later processors. The version you are trying to use is 4 months older than this one:
Arturia V Collection X v24 05 2024 U2B macOS. Why would you start with a 4 month older version?

Symlinks and Alias, already covered the differences. When you installed this, did you get it all working first with it installed directly to your internal SSD and then move it? Or did you try to save a few minutes and put it directly on the external?

Did you already codesign all the Arturia plugins? Since I do not know the details you should have provided already, run this in terminal:

It will codesign every plugin on the machine. Give it time to work.

cd /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/

find . -name "*.bundle" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.VST" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.vst3" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.component" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.dpm" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.bundle" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.VST" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.vst3" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.component" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.dpm" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;


Also, you should specify if you tried running things in Native or Rosetta mode, or both; if you are using an Apple SIlicon Mac.


If you are not able to get into Logic, you could try just disconnecting the external drive. Or you could launch Logic so that no plugins are loaded which will allow you to get to the Plugin Manager in Logic. Click the Compatibility tab in the Plugin Manager, and scroll down until you see what is crashing. When you get back into Logic. It will show Crashed Validation or something else.

To launch Logic in Plugin Safe Mode:

Hold Shift⇧ + Control⌃ when launching Logic. This will launch it in Audio Units Safe Mode, which only loads validated plugins. You can then use the app like normal, which means you can use the Plugin Manager to validate each new plugin manually, and see which one hangs the app.
