Default AIR Instrument Flex Beat missing

Was really looking forward to trying out this new plugin that AIR was touting for only $39. It's called Flex Beat. Looks cool.
https://www.airmusictech.com/effects/flex-beat.html

Anyway, purchased it. Installed it. Nope.. doesn't show up in the instrument list.

Running 2022.12 on an i9 running Windoze 10.
Lots of other plugins, including AIR, running successfully. Installer seems kinda lame. Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem like this?

And yes, I've deleted the InstalledAAXplugins file more times than I can count.

Nothing. Thoughts?

Air states very clearly in multiple places "AU, VST, and VST3 Plugin hosts". No mention of AAX, so no Pro Tools support.

Not sure what Avid is doing to repair the relationship with Air, but it does not seem to be working.

Ah, silly me. I made an assumption based on all my other AIR plugins and the fact that it said "support for all digital audio workstations" in the text. I guess all doesn't mean Pro Tools anymore. OK, so off to get a plugin that lets me insert VST plugins I guess. Thanks Darryl.

Get the free Waves StudioRack. It will host VST3 64 plug-ins within Pro Tools.

Ouch, I guess this signals the true break-up between Avid and Air.

I gave up on AIR a long time ago. They seem to have abandon some of their products. Haven't seen an update or upgrade to any of the original PTIEP instruments in over 2 years, even though many, many users have been asking for several improvements or features.



Oh, I'll still use a couple of the VI's because I like them (ie, Hybrid, Loom, and Xpand) But they've long ago lost my loyalty as a customer.

AIR is alive and the new plugin range looks great. Flex Beat is the only plugin that doesn't support AAX. Avid PlayCell resembles some similarities so I wonder if there is still some co-op partnership happening. I still use the old plugins but they've been around for 15+ years. I'd love it if AIR continues to evolve the instrument expansion pack. I'd pay for an upgrade to bring them to more modern UI and additional features.

An AAX version of Flex Beat should be coming soon.
