What do you mean by "Emagic/Apple"..?  Considering that EXSP came out
_before_ the Apple buyout, I think you mean "Emagic".

The Apple Core Audio developers are putting together an AU validation
tool, so it will be interesting to see how well both the EXSP24 and EVP73
do in the test (rumour has it: not good :-(

Its still a growing format, and certainly for the early adopters (Emagic
included) there were/are misinterpretations of how an AU should behave.
Over time these will be resolved, especially as more and better
documentation becomes available.  As for the future, things are looking
like being a hell of a lot of fun!!!

I've tried both EVP73 and EXSP24 in SynthTest without success--GUI
appears, but no audio output.  I gather this is common.
