The plugins are available for the windows VST interface (invented by Steinberg) and
support the vst 2.0 standard. The patches format is standard fxb/fxp. The plugins need a 32bit
environment to run. Supported operating systems: Win98, WinME, WinXP and Vista. The
plugins can't be run stand alone, they need a VST host to run. Windows Vista is still
not recommended because it takes too much ressources on its own and has some protection
mechanisms that can cause problems. Recommended is Windows XP.
If you want to use the plugins in a 64bit environment (64bit capable vst host within
XP or Vista 64bit) then you need to wrap the plugins with a 32bit vst host like
Xlutop Chainer.
You don't have a vst host? Here's a list of tested free vst hosts:
Recommended free vst hosts
Because we simply can't test all possible combinations of operating systems and vst
hosts we ask you for testing the plugins in your current configuration with the demo
versions before you buy.
