Uninstalling Novation Automap plug-ins?

I ditched my ReMOTE and most of what I could find of the Automap software, but for the life of me I CANNOT find the renamed Plug-in(Automap) plug-ins that Remote sprinkled somewhere in my Logic setup. They are in neither 'components' folders where my other plug-ins are, but if I invoke the Plug-in manager within Logic, all the Automap plug-ins are still listed there (disabled, but listed). I can even 'test' them, so they must be somewhere on my system. I've tried Novation's useless support from their US Distributor, who provided no assistance. Please, anyone know where these things are kept? I want a clean uninstall of Automap!

Mac Pro 2 x 2.8, Mac OS X (10.5.4), Stuff. Lots of stuff.

Hi,

As I said in my first posting I have looked in both Components locations and found no altered Automap plug-ins. I am wondering if Logic might be storing the list in a pref file or a cache somewhere as I simply cannot find the physical plug-ins anywhere. However, I did a force rescan of all my plugs, and they showed up again in the list. I am truly baffled.

Hi,

Sorry, I overlooked the word neither in your post.
They could be inside the Logic package perhaps?
You could Catalog your startup disk with a cataloging utility (like CDfinder http://www.eskimo.com/~pristine/diskfile.html#cdfinder ) and search in that catalog. Spotlight is too selective, I like to be able to trace every file on my Mac.

ok..here's what I did after spending a lot of time tryng to find an .automap wrapped plug in list somewhere.. ( I've even used a soft named fsventer..)

I've moved all my au component plugs from /library/audio/components to /user/library/audio/components

then I'ved lunch AutomapServer and its plug in manager..all my automap plug were shown here.I've moved them back to the left widow listing all your plug ins.

finally lunch Ableton's Live or Logic..et voilà!

hope its help.

Hi Bwickens,

There are two folders that may hold plugins: /Library/audio/plugins/components and /Users/"you"/library/audio/plugins/components. Have you looked in the latter?

regards, Erik.
