Plug-in Hosting
Overview
On Windows, RX supports VST3 and VST2 plug-ins. On Intel-based macs and Apple silicon-based macs running RX with Rosetta, RX supports AU, VST3, and VST2 plug-ins. For macs running RX natively on Apple silicon, AU and VST3 are supported. VST2 is not supported when RX is running natively on Apple silicon.
Update Your Plug-ins
Please make sure your third-party plug-ins are updated to their latest version in order to ensure that RX will be able to scan them correctly. Contact your plug-in manufacturers for updated installers, if necessary.

Selection Based Processing
With a plug-in loaded in the Plug-in module, you can make use of the same audio selection tools and Preview and Compare options that are available for other RX modules.
This can allow for very detailed processing and greater accuracy when working with your existing plug-ins, giving you audio selection options unavailable in a traditional DAW setup.
Plug-in Presets
Only one plug-in may be loaded at a time. However, with the use of presets, multiple settings and presets may be recalled quickly in order to move between plug-in instances. When your plug-in is configured the way you would like it, select Add Preset from the small Preset drop down arrow.
Assign Presets to Keyboard Shortcuts
Once your preset is named and saved, you can then assign that plug-in and preset to a keyboard shortcut with the Set Preset Shortcut feature.
This keyboard shortcut will recall not only the plug-in settings, but the plug-in instance itself. As such, if a preset is saved with Plug-in 1, and Plug-in 2 is currently loaded into RX’s plug-in window, pressing the preset keyboard shortcut will re-instantiate Plug-in 1 and recall the exact settings when the preset was made.
This can allow for very quick editing, processing, and recall of plug-in instances and settings, providing a quicker workflow than traditional DAW track/mixer environments.
