Using kontakt 6 player in reaper pro#

Thought I'd throw in a bit of PT history trivia here for my first post of the day. DirectConnect eventually morphed into HTDM and other parts of PT, and the VST to ReWire Adaptor morphed into the VST to RTAS Adaptor. He emailed me back 2 days later and had the first working VST to ReWire Adaptor up and running. Creating bridges like this from different plug-in formats was pretty much his specialty and only product back then. From there I approached Angus at FXpansion, and a few others, to develop a VSTi to ReWire adaptor.

We finally got our ReWire support in PT and I knew this would be our back door to getting VSTi's going in Pro Tools. This was before there was a clause in the forum terms of use that prohibited petitions and polls. We then petitioned here on the forum, more like rioted actually, for ReWire support. The 3rd party VI developers didn't adopt this at all.

Avid had a competing solution called DirectConnect back in the day. It's hard to believe many of us have been using the ReWire solution in PT for over 11 years now. They kept the spirits up with some humorous names of their beta builds that included Pro Tools though. I think I drove schwa nuts a few times with my nit picking to get it going right in PT. The brilliant devs at Cockos were great to work with on this during their own betas. A few session templates could probably still be found in the old LE forum somewhere and will still work. Hosting VI's in REAPER has been a go-to solution for a ton of us for almost 6+ years now since the PT 7 era.
