SoundMagic - and Input from AudioUnits to SuperCollider?

Hello,

Through some works of a colleague, I recently came across the SoundMagic-Spectral suite of free AudioUnits Soundmagic Spectral - Michael Norris, Composer. This seems a very impressive and useful tool. 2 Questions:

  • Has anyone built synthdefs that emulate these spectral audio units in supercollider?
  • Is it possible to input live audio from AudioUnits in SuperCollider, so as to use the original SoundMagic here?

Best,
Iannis Zannos

You can use LADSPA and VST plugins, if the plugin is real-time safe, it works just like a UGen. See:

I’m not sure about AudioUnit, I think it’s not possible yet
