I’m using Audiodesk, and updated MOTU Audio System to version 2.3x . Now my plugins list shows alot of duplicate plugins with “(multi)” after the names. When I choosed one of them, Audiodesk freezes or crashes.

MOTU Audio System version 2.3 and higher includes the capability to have multi-channel plugins for surround sound. This feature was added to accomidate Digital Performer 3’s surround mixing capabilities. Since Audiodesk does not have surround features, these “Multi” plugins may cause problems when selected. It is best to use MAS 2.12, but no higher.
It is best to remove the old MAS and install an earlier version supplied ot the MOTU Core installer CD. Here’s how to do this:

1. QUIT all applications
2. Open the System folder (on your Macintosh HD)
3. Locate and open the Extensions folder.
4. Locate the MOTU folder, and drag it into the TRASH ***
5. Restart your computer, and insert the MOTU Core Installer CD.
6. Launch the MOTU/Audiodesk installer
7. After accepting the licensing terms, change the install option from EASY INSTALL to CUSTOM INSTALL.
8. Select MOTU Audio System ONLY by placing an X in the box next to it.
9. Choose INSTALL and proceed.
10 After restart, you should be able to run Audiodesk normally.

*** If you have 3rd party plugins installed, remove them from the Plugins folder inside the MOTU folder (you can drag them to the desktop) before trashing the MOTU folder.
