VST/Plugin problems

I'm running logic 9, on mac os x leopard. Logic doesn't seem to be recognizing kammerl kaske plugins such as KKlooper , KKpitcher etc or delay lama. They are in my plugin folder with the other ones but they don't show up as available in logic. Is there something i'm doing wrong/any way i can get them to work?

Cheers guys

macbook intel, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Logic doesn't use VST - you'll either have to install the AU versions, or get VSt-to-AU-wrapper by FXpansion. Also note that Windows VST's won't work on a Mac either, even in VST-compatible hosts.

i've loaded au plugin of some mentioned and still nothing, also in the plugin folder there is a file full of vsts (they end in .vst) called vst and all my plugins that work seem to be vst?

Do you know if it's possible for Kammerl Kaske plugins to work with logic and delay lama?

Look in the folder *Library/Audio/Plug Ins/Components* - whatever is in there with the suffix .component should show up in Logic as plugins, as they are Audio Units (AU), the plugin format Logic uses. Whatever is in your VST folder is not used by Logic, very definetely. _It cannot be used by Logic._ You need a VST-to-AU wrapper like this one:

There are not many OS X VST's that don't also have an AU version. You could request Kammerl to also make an AU version.

Ok, I have now finally got a VST to AU wrapper, I have used it and it worked but when I move the converted vsts around the screen (in logic) the GUI of the vst stays in the same place but the surrounding box of the vst (with the save / load preset + close screen etc) moves??

Has anyone else experienced this problem? What does it mean , how do I get solve it?

Also delay lama is still not recognised in logic, any advice?

Thank you muchly for your time

It is a problem that happens with some plugs when using the wrapper. You cannot solve it, but you can work around it by selecting the generic plugin GUI (Controls) in the View menu

it'll look something like this:
