Not Compatible with Logic Pro
Logic Pro uses AU format exclusively and does not support VST3 plugins. Synerator requires a VST3-compatible DAW.
About this page: Synerator works with any VST3 synthesizer, but some plugins behave differently than others. This page tracks real-world compatibility reports from users. Tip: If you get no sound after randomizing, try locking your synth's Volume/Output/Level parameter before randomizing.

UJAM Workflow Note
Synerator alters the sound of UJAM instruments, but built-in sequencers, phrases, and loops won't play in Player mode. Workaround: design your sound with Synerator, save as a Synerator preset, then load the UJAM instrument on a separate track to use its built-in sequencer/phrases.
