Much thought, little progress. Updating Unify to support Apple's new ARM processors took up most of 2022 for me. Selling my home and moving (three times -- long story) killed the rest.
@getdunne sorry to hear that
hope things have settled for now
Glad it’s on your mind
For me it’s really the addition of multi outs that will give me a reason to begin using my Unify. I can see so many powerful use cases for me once it happens

Is it entirely useless to you without multiple outputs?
multiple outs would be nice .. I wondered if I can adjust the buffer size which is usually 16 at my pc and works for most cases and the sample rate somewhere .. it seems I have quite some latency with unify right now. But still great ideas .. like it

Unify will not work efficiently with such a small buffer size. I recommend 256.
I'm anxious for audio ins. I haven't had a desire for multiple outs. If you're running in a daw, can't you just run different instances of Unify? I guess not if you are running surround samples in surround. Do they make surround samples?
But I'd love to get my FX vsts 'unified'. Since I patch them dynamically in Hollyhock, I don't want them as part of my Unify presets. And I also have external audio inputs that I route to my FX....
In regards the off-topic above, I run two instances of Unify in my live performance setup, along with 5 instances of kontakt, 4 instances of Reaktor and 4 vst effects channels comfortably under Hollyhock 5 at 64 samples latency on my Ryzen 5900 with no dropouts. If you have a fast processor, it's not a problem. Unify does not seem inefficient, I don't see measurable increases in processor over running the vsts by themselves. 16 samples is ambitious, but 64 has been very playable for me. I was extremely happy to move down from 128 when I bought the Ryzen. 128 always felt sluggish, and it was hard to play fast tempos. I haven't been at 256 since 2010.

For the moment, have a look at Kushview Element. It's free and the plug-in version allows for what you are trying to do.
