FXpansion Audio has announced the availability of the third generation of VST to DirectX plug-in adapters. This latest version adds several important new features, and offers significant improvements to ease of use.

New features include:

DXi support: Users of Cakewalk's new SONAR platform will be pleased to hear that the new adapter offers full support for the DXi system, allowing VST Instruments to be used seamlessly and transparently as DXi Instruments, with no added latency or loss of timing accuracy.
Total integration: The v3.0 adapters allow you to install VST plug-ins directly in to your applications' DirectX menus, without any intermediate control panel. The VST plug-ins now behave as if they were DX in every respect.
Improved automation: Microsoft's new DX8.0 automation spec is fully supported, allowing sample-accurate automation of all plug-in parameters in suitably enabled host applications. Automation and realtime control from an external MIDI control surface (PC1600, Drehbank, PhatBoy, Control Freak etc.) is also supported.
Improved preset management: imports and exports Cubase-compatible plug-in preset files, allowing full compatibility with additional soundbanks made available by the plug-in manufacturers and others.

VST-DX Adapter 3.0 costs just $60.00 / Eu60.00 / UKP40.00 / DM117, and is available direct from FXpansion's web site. A Lite version, without DXi or automation support, but suitable for older DX applications, is also available.
