Thanks to this wonderfull article http://adern.com/home/modules.php?name= ... opic&t=227
I am now able to use any Creamware an 3rd-party device while in Tracktion (any VST-host should work). Have not really checked if this has been posted before though :wink:.

Here is how to:

1. Delete your SFPDevicesXTC directory.

2. Make a copy SFPDevices and rename it to SFPDevicesXTC.

3. Now, locate the directory that you installed XTC in. In that direcory you will see a lot of direcories which should be familiar to you. The idea is to mirror all the .dll's to your .dev/.mdl-files in your SFPDevicesXTC directory - that is, copy and rename .dll's to what ever .dev or .mdl file you wish to load.
These .dll-files are identical and contain only wrapper-code, but your VST-host needs to see each XTC-plug.

You can ignore the "Stereo" and "Mono" directory as they only include some trash .dev files - I don't think they are used anywhere.

Example (How to load an instance of "Vinco M" in your VST-host):

My "Vinco M.dev" is located in SFPDevicesXTCDynamic.

I installed XTC in the standard Steinberg "VST Plugins"-directory. I would thus locate VST PluginsXTCDynamic. There I will see a bunch of .dll-files - i.e. "Compressor M.dll".

I would then make a copy of "Compressor M.dll" and rename it to "Vintage M.dll".

You would need to repeat these steps for EACH individual plguin you would wish to use in your VST-host.
----
Any plugin you can load with the MultiFX -> <InsertPLugHere>-routine, you should be able to load with the proceedure above.

Plugins that I have not managed to load:

- Device's ISON filter (stere and mono). - the other ISON's work well (trakker and full).

Hi there,
I'm not sure if I understand what your goal is here... are you trying to load these devices into your sequencer/audio recording software without going into XTC mode? That would be way cool if it's possible, and sorry if that's a dumb questions. I think after troubleshooting XTC mode for so long I might just believe anything. :)

Hehe, it is not a question really, I just thought I had discovered something new, which I had not. I just discovered how to get XTC mode working with most plugs :wink:.

Wicked...

So far so good, but can't seem to get anything modular to work, nor synths not created for "old SCOPE" (i.e. Dubsub and Orbitone Three-o-Three will work, but Dubsub 2 and other stuff that uses the "new" preset list window won't).

Any advice on getting Modular 2 .dev and .mdls to work in XTC mode?
