The transport controls are still active however, and you can use those if you have them open or on your toolbar. Once you realize the cause, shutting the plug-in window is simple enough, but the moment of WTF?! can be irritating. You hit the space bar to stop playback only to realize that the controls are frozen. This can be annoying when trying to work quickly. I’ve had similar problems with some Waves plug-ins, where the plug-in takes over the keyboard’s function in anticipation that you are going to enter a numeric value for a given parameter.

The most obvious of these is that when some (not all, but many) VST plug-ins windows are open within Pro Tools, you can loose the ability to use the keyboard until you close the plug-in window. I should mention that there are some quirks to using VST in RTAS land. I won’t go into detail on the second procedure, but suffice it to say that it works quite well and in the event you do have a problem, I’ve had one or two in 5 years, FXpansion is quick with the return email. But if you’ve got a large number of VST plug-ins and know that you’ve only got one new plug-in to update, then the process of detecting and wrapping the single plug-in is much quicker. I generally opt for the latter procedure, which takes longer but guarantees that I won’t be missing anything.

They will come up as wrapped plug-ins on the insert menu, or if you have your plug-ins organized by manufacturer, they’ll show up that way was as well.Įvery time thereafter that you want to update your wrapped VST plug-ins, you have the option of either detecting and wrapping the plug-ins individually or of removing all wrappers and re-detecting all plug-ins. Depending on your plug-in load this can take a few minutes, but once completed, you will find the VST plug-ins available as inserts within Pro Tools the next time you launch the program. When running it for the first time you simply need to click on the buttons on the right side and let it work. Upon launching it will ask you to identify the location of your VST plug-ins, which are usually in the Library>Audio>Plug Ins>VST folder.
In terms of function, the FXpansion wrapper is easy to use. apulSoft’s apTrigga2, for example, is a real-time sample player which is triggered by audio (such as a snare hit), is easy to use, works great as a drum replacer/enhancer but has no real analog in RTAS or TDM platforms.
There are also plug-ins that should exist in RTAS or TDM land but don’t, and if they did they probably wouldn’t be as cheap.

It’s a free download (as are all their plug-ins) and easily worth the $100 FXpansion price alone. I ended up using the Roland Juno emulation made by Togu Audio Line.

Thus if you are looking for a virtual organ (as I was last week), you’re no longer confined to the 2 or 3 organs in the RTAS/TDM realm, but can look much further afield for the software that meets both your sonic and price requirements. A big benefit of having the wrapper - the pool of products you can choose from deepens significantly.
VST plug-ins span the usual range of old school emulations, instruments and synthesizers to outlandish novelty effects. They’re often a lot cheaper than buying rack gear, and while perhaps not as versatile or hi-fi, when searching for a cool or unique sound, they’re an invaluable resource. Why wouldn’t Pro Tools users want to have access to this larger (and often less expensive) array of plug-ins? I think of it a bit like collecting guitar pedals. For the $100 it will set you back, I think it’s kind of a no-brainer purchase. But the original intent of the VST to RTAS wrapper is simply to allow Pro Tools users to run VST plug-ins.
