Hello, when I build mine, the .bundle files comes out as a VST3 instead of a Unity style plugin. Even though I specified in my plugin.cmake file that it should be VST3 Unity. I even tried UNITY_BUILD as well.

So it built both a Unity plugin and VST3? Like you could have opened the VST3 in any DAW or VST host like Ableton/Logic etc? I don’t have Unity but would love to be able to make VSTs out of Max4Live devices that people without Max could use!

Thank you! How do you load the samples in the RNBO patch? I tried it with a buffer~. But when I load the patch into Unity, my patch doesn't play a sound. I tried different file locations (desktop, asset folder of the unity project, C:/ etc.) and have set the IS_SYNTH Flag to both false and true.

Cool! Any chance you could do something similar for Unity windows!?

Thank you very much! I think I have followed everything exactly, unfortunately I always get an error message.
