Problem with Gridder instrument on MacOS 15

[RedstoneBeat]

In Logic 11.0.1 the plugin is shown as validated and activated in the plugin manager, but does not appear in the instrument selection. The MIDI and effect plugin, however, works.
It works under Ventura with the same Logic version.

Same, On OS 15.2 Logic 11.1.1, Validated but doesn’t show as instrument. Effects and midi fine. Blue cats patchworks will work if you load the vst3, can load au with same, but bad noise…

[virgil9306]

I can see the instrument and it works great in other DAWs. In fact, it worked just yesterday in Logic, as well.

Since then I went to sleep. I wonder what could have changed.

As a way to generate some logs, I decided to refresh the plugins in Logic Pro after changing the name of AU AGridder (inst) by e47, aka the "Gridder Instrument"

The AU Validation Log seems OK to me except that last line: it seems to completely stop, fail, hang, or whatever, after the line updating properties of AU AGridder (inst) by e47…

In other words, I haven't seen any useful logs.

This seems fine to me. It detects my local AudioGridder server.

updating properties of AU AGridder (inst) by e47…

[giginocode]

Hi, I may have a similar problem, but I work with a Mac M1 and Native Instrument's Maschine 2. I tried using it on the Mac as a plugin and the PC as a server, connecting them with an Ethernet cable.
The installation seems fine. In the Maschine DAW I use on the Mac M1, the Audiogridder plugin opens. I see the plugins I want to load on the PC, but they don't load. The interface doesn't open on either the PC or the Mac, so I can't use them.
I've checked connections, firewalls, and ports, but nothing. Everything seems fine. However, I can't get it to work. Could anyone who has solved a similar problem reach out and help me? Thanks.
