Pro Tools Express Plugins + Virtual Instruments

[mros12]

Quick question about plugins for Pro Tools express. I understand that in Pro Tools 9 and 10, there are several plugins which are not included in Pro Tools Express, like the "Vacuum" synth for example, which is one I am interested in. Is there any way I can purchase this so I can use it in Pro Tools Express? I went to the Avid Marketplace directly through my software and I couldn't find it. Thanks!

Hi,

Vacuum was a bundled instrument with the full version of pro tools and not available as a separate purchase! Although they should look at making it available for the express users;)

Worth noting that you can use any RTAS compatible VI plugin. (not VST)

Native instruments /Arturia, Rob Papen synth plugins for example are RTAS compatible.

Here's a google search for free RTAS synths... http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=arturia&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari#sclient=tablet-gws&hl=en&client=safari&tbo=d&q=free+rtas+synth&oq=free+rtas+synth&gs_l=tablet-gws.3...0.0.1.192.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0.les%3B..0.0 ...1ac.1WQFOqFtt88&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.Yms&fp=f46070815f09001f&bpcl=40096503&biw=768&bih=900
