Logic's main plug-ins (such as the ones you mentioned) are not AUs, by the way. They're built-in to Logic's application code (this is why you don't need to install them, only authorize your XSKey to use them). Emagic's only AU plugs are the EVP73 piano and the EXSP24 sample player... however it appears that Emagic/Apple isn't offering them anymore by themselves, only as part of Logic Express. Awhile back Emagic also released a freebie guitar tuner (ET1?) as an audio unit... GK
