Unofficial MIDI Guitar 3 Hex AUv3 plugin (macOS) is now on TestFlight

BETA TESTING
1

Hex guitarists often run into limitations of enjoying the full power of hex pickups into their favorite DAW.

This is a (shamelessly untested) release to make life wonderfully simple by letting the MG plugin open the hex hardware, rather than the DAW.

Only use this if:

  • You use hex hardware
  • You use a DAW that supports AUv3 plugins (especially Logic/Mainstage users)
  • You are ok with its plugin sandboxing limitations
  • You are ok with using a completely untested plugin :slight_smile:

Publicly available on TestFlight:

We will try to do something similar for Windows hexers.

Thanks for this version @JamO.

I installed the new beta for MG3 Hex AUv3 (macOS) today. After a brief test, I could confirm that it functions as expected in Logic Pro (and also Reaper).

However, I’ve noticed that in Live 12 and Blue Cat Audio’s Axiom 2 and PatchWork, the GUI sometimes draws when it’s first launched, but if it’s closed and reopened, it always comes back with a blank rectangle. In Axiom, it doesn’t even draw if you directly instantiate it, but usually it will draw the very first time the plug-in is loaded in a user preset, then it goes blank when you hide/show the plug-in.

Considering that it works perfectly well in Logic Pro and Reaper, I guess it might be an individual DAW implementation of AUv3 issue, but I thought it was worth pointing out just in case it was a bug.

Thank you for all your testing :folded_hands:
I’ll investigate this.
