Pluggo 3.0.4 Compatibility Information
For MAS host applications, MOTU Audio System 2.1 and
FreeMIDI 1.42 or later are required. These are not included with the Pluggo installer.
For RTAS, you must use Pro Tools 5.1 or later (pluggo does not officially support Pro Tools Free, but they may still work together.)
- Cubase 4.1 or later
- Digital Performer 2.5 or later (2.7 or later strongly recommended)
- Vision 4.1 or later (version 4.5 automation does not work with Pluggo)
- Logic Audio 4.1.2 or later
- Peak 2.5 or later
- Live 1.1 or later
- Spark 1.1
pluggo does not work when multiprocessing is enabled in host applications with support for it. However, you can disable the multiprocessor support in the host application and use pluggo when the application is in single processor mode.
