Just upgraded my old PPC G5 to a new Mac Pro 🙂
everything working great except I can't get Ivory 2 to show up in the virtual instruments list. This is a brand new fresh install of Ivory 2. iLok is good and licensed ok.
Ivory works fine in standalone mode, and works fine as a virtual instrument in DSP-Quattro.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to look and see why it's not registering in Logic?
thanks,
sean
Further information: When I go into preferences in Logic Pro X: Audio Units Manager, Ivory does not show up in the list. My other virtual instruments like Omnisphere and Stylus RMX do.
thanks,

Ivory 2 is an older 32bit only AU Plug... which is why it no longer shows up in the AU manager as LPX only uses the newer 64bit AU Plugins.
This also explains why Omni and RMX work because they are both available as 32 and 64bit AU plugins so they will work with LPX
Solutions?
Unfortunately 32lives is not compatible with Ivory 2 (A program to convert/wrap older 32bit plugins to 64bit versions) so the only practical solution is to use Vienna Ensemble Pro (VEP) to host Ivory 2 as a 32bit AU plugin and then host it in LPX via the VEP5 server /plugin on your Mac Pro... Not a cheap solution but then again, VEP has so many other uses apart from this one, it might be of benefit to you.... to buy it.

or...
Contact Synthology and see if they have any intention of updating it to a 64bit AU version.. I could not find any reference to them saying they are or are not doing so.... but they have recently provided a 64bit AAX version for Pro Tool users so they may well be working on a 64bit AU version too now...
thanks for the information.
Ivory is actually 64 bit now. They must have upgraded in the latest software version. That was the problem, I didn't have the latest version 2.1.2 of the software. I assumed the install discs i received had the lastest version, but it didn't.
once i installed the new operating version (not the library) Logic verified it and it's now in the AU manager list and working fine.
thanks,

That's good news as the website doesn't make it very clear there has been an update to a 64bit version of the AU plugin....
Thanks Sean, for letting us know there is one now.. Ill add that to my 'list'
Cheers..
