Stylus / only RTAS drum program?

[Brian Alex]

Is Stylus the only RTAS plug-in Drum Program right now?

thank you

It also runs in VST and whatever other format du jour is. If you were referring to stand-alone mode (using it without a host sequencer) then no, it doesn't.

I may not be explaining this well enough. I use Pro Tools LE, and Stylus runs as an RTAS Plug-in (and I like that a lot).

I was just checking if (in pro tools) there are other drum software programs that do the same thing (run directly as RTAS Programs)?

Actually, I'm the one who misread your post, I can now clearly see what you were asking. As of yet, there isn't much besides Stylus, but the RTAS floodgates are about to bust, plan on having all these options by the end of this fall.

-IK Sampletank 2
-NI Battery
-NI Kontakt
-NI Impakt
-NI Kompakt
-NI Reaktor
-MOTU Mach 5

With the exception of Battery, these may not be specifically targeted for drums, they're sample playback modules, but nothing stops you from creating kits across the keys.

In the meantime, there is Reason to run with PT 6.1 using Rewire, you can then use the ReDrum, NN-19 or NN-XT. Come to think of it, it doesn't get any better than this for the time being, very flexible and powerful setup.
