Compatibility
Because Element runs on both Mac and PC, and all major plugin formats AU/VST/VST3. Element itself can be loaded as a plugin so it literally can be used by anything that loads audio plugins.
Pre-Release Version
The core feature of Element at the moment is the plugin hosting rack. Development is active and features are being added every week! (bug fixes too :)) Stay tuned @ KVR and/or join our newsletter to be notified about progress.
The paid version is offered at a discounted price until a stable v1.0 is reached.
Discussion
THIS POST HAS BEEN REMOVED
Has Potential. At the moment It does not recognize several plugins. There is also no way to load banks or preset .just the default bnks are available. No running engine so that Instruments that depend on that do not workd-like Rps or Blue arp or PM2. lso crashes from time to time. Still I like it and think it will provide a good daw in the future.
You should try the most recent version which is much better than what you describe above.
