Does it require a particular variety of Mac OSX VST plug-in?
There are two sub-formats of VST plug-in on Mac OSX: 'Carbon-CFM' (which is closer to the original OS 8 / 9 VST format), and 'Mach-O' (which fits in better with Mac OS X standards and Apple's future plans for the OS). The VST to RTAS Adapter supports both and works equally well with either.

Does it support automation?
Yes. VST plug-ins' parameters are mapped to equivalent RTAS parameters.

I have a plugin which comes with an RTAS version but it isn't working properly. Can I buy the VST-RTAS Adapter in order to use it successfully as an RTAS plugin?
You are welcome to do so, and the adapter will often run better than the manufacturer's own RTAS version.
However, we do not provide any support any plugin in such circumstances, and there will be no possibility of a refund if it doesn't work as you wish.

v1 users can upgrade to v2 for $49.00 - please contact our support team for details.

Does VST-RTAS v2.1 support Universal Binaries?
Yes. However, if you have a MacIntel computer (MacBook, Mac Pro, Macbook Pro, Intel iMac and Mini), you will need Universal Binary versions of any VSTs you wish to wrap, as well as a Universal Binary version of Pro Tools.

Will FXpansion ever make an RTAS to VST wrapper (for using RTAS plug-ins in Cubase, etc.)
No. Such a wrapper is impossible for both technical and legal reasons.

Does VST to RTAS Adapter v2.1 work with VST Instruments?
Yes.

What's the CPU and audio performance like?
The adapter itself has no impact on your audio signal and uses a negligible amount of CPU.
Back To Top
Does it add any latency?
Not of itself - it's the same as regular RTAS plug-ins in that regard.
Certain VST plug-ins, especially those running on DSP cards, do add latency. Pro Tools TDM/HD automatically compensates for this latency ('Automatic PDC'), as does Pro Tools Native (versions 9 and 10).
Pro Tools LE and M-Powered do not automatically compensate for latency. However, you can easily view the total latency in the Pro Tools mixer and compensate for it manually.

Does the adapter support multiple input channels?
No - the adapter supports the first stereo pair only, ignoring any others.

Why is the License Transfer fee so high in relation to the cost of the product?
Our License Transfer fee is a set amount due to the very real costs of providing product support in the form of responsive technical support, bugfixes and new features, to the customers who buy our products. Product support is something we take extremely seriously, and is one of the reasons our products stand out amongst the competition.
Free Vst To Rtas Wrapper Plugins
We are happy to provide a transfer service for most of our products, but we cannot accept the liability of the costs of supporting a new user. If we were to provide free or very cheap license transfers, the prices of our products would have to be a lot higher, and it does not make sense to inflict this on the vast majority of customers who want to keep using the products and do not intend to resell them.
