TC M30 Reverb Not Appearing

Tom,

I haven't looked at the free TC verb yet but is it possible it's Intel only?
Do they mention if it's a universal binary format?

I also just got it, and it doesn't show up. The component is in the right folder.
All I could find on the TC website is that it is OS 10.5 compatible, no mention of Intel/PPC or UB anywhere. But since I'm also on PPC, it seems more likely that its' Intel only. If that is so, I find it pretty sloppy they (TC) don't mention that anywhere. Although indirectly they do, by mentioning that it has been tested with L9, which is officially Intel only...
From the site:

Support?
M30 is a free plug-in, and we unfortunately can not offer customer support for it.
M30 is tested with these systems:
Windows XP SP2, Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard
Applications:
Logic 9
Apple GarageBand
Steinberg Cubase 5
Steinberg Cubase 4.5
Cakewalk Sonar
Ableton Live

So now I have to unsubscribe from the TC stuff...

FWIW... I downloaded it and installed on my system and all is well. I'm running the latest everything as far as OS and Logic 9.

It looks like there is a bug in it. According to the TC forum (scroll to morpe's post): http://forum.tcelectronic.com/viewtopic.php?pid=31848 the plugin is UB. It does work fine as the VST on PPC Macs but doesn't as AU...

For PPC users: If you remove the installed M30 Reverb component file from your Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components folder and use a vst wrapper (such as fxpansion VST to AudioUnits) to wrap the vst version of the M30 it'll work.

As mentioned above, delete the component part of the M30 after you've dowloaded it. Now drag the M30 vst icon to the following folder---_*Mac HD:Library:Audio:Plug-Ins:VST:Powercore*_
Next open your VST to RTAS adaptor program. Make sure you have no host apps running. If the above folder isn't in the left window (to detect the vst's in that folder) then press the "+" button to add the folder. Make sure it's the right folder, the one mentioned above, which you're now detecting for new VST plugins. It will rescan and add any new VST plugins that are in the folder. Now manually go down the list and find the M30 and click the "wrap" setting from NO to YES.
I use Pro-Tools 7.4 with Mac OSX 10.4.11. So indeed this works with PPC Macs not running the newer OSX 10.5 Leopard or 10.6 Snow Leopard. And I'm not running the newer Pro-Tools 8.x. Hope this helps.

Ok.... now how does it sound... is it a decent reverb? 🙂

I haven't done extensive testing, but so far it sounds nice to me (not earth shattering). I find it useful.
