Some help please: how to remove incompatible audio units?

Hello forum readers,

If someone knows, a little help would be appreciated:

When staring Logic Pro X, each time Audio Units are automatically being scanned. All the time I get a window with the message "Incompatible Audio Units found":

"While verifying Audio Unit compatibility, Logic Pro X encountered 1 Audio Unit plug-in(s) which did not pass the Apple AU validation. These plug-ins have been excluded from further usage in Logic Pro X to prevent possible problems or crashes. You can start the AU Manager now to review the validation results or continue the startup process."

When opening the Audio Units manager, I see that "AUSpeechSynthesis (Automap)applttsp" (Manufacturer: Apple, type: generator) couldn't be opened. I don't know how to remove or bypass this plug-in, as the option "disable failed audio units" doesn't seem to work. Now each time I start Logic Pro X, the same message keeps appearing. I also can't find that file on my Mac, a searched for it and also the Finder can't find it.

Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance!

Kind regards,
Thijs

Logic Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Meanwhile I'm looking further. Enabling 64-bit mode in the Novation Automap software doesn't solve it completely (as mentioned in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5199709)

The difference is, however, that Logic now isn't scanning all my plug-ins all the time, but just the one that doesn't work. So meanwhile I'm one step further.

Thank you for your help, I've tried the Audio Units manager already but it doesn't disable the failed audio unit, it keeps coming up.

The answer lies in the fact you have used Novation Automap to wrap the AUSpeechSynthesis plugin...

Unwrap it....

Also after doing that... make sure you have selected the 64bit plugin friendly option in Automap's Preferences...

I have the same problem but I can´t figure out how to unwrap AUSpeechSynthesis. I can´t even find it in the filesystem with spotlight..... ;o(

And yes I have turned on the 64bit plugin friendly option in Automap's Preferences.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help! I've removed Automap earlier today without doing the unwrapping part and everything is fine now; no more scanning for audio units, no incompatible ones. I won't install Automap again as so far it didn't work well. Besides, for some mysterious reason the audio units folder disappeared from the instrument channel strip in Logic, after deinstalling Automap. After updating Kontakt it was back again. Anyway, problem solved!

Yeh I must say I'll never buy a Novation product again purely because of Automap - it has just been such a constant pain in the backside in every way, it's comparable only with itunes (and MS Windows of course) in it's rubbishness.
