The box of this product is superb!
2 DVDs + 1 DVD installation of video tutorials.
The installation could be simplified because you have to do some manipulations yourself. (Fortunately there is a video tutorial for guidance.) Files General setup would be much more comfortable.
No compatibility problem with my setup: Athlon 1.8GHz, 1GB RAM, 32GB HDD, Win XP and Logic Audio Platinum 5.5.0 Emagic EMI sound card with 2 / 6.
After handling installation, it is advisable to make the update to version 1.5 to download from the Spectrasonics website.
There, I had problems. Indeed, one must apply several updates installers who do different parts of the plug-in. I may be due to poor handling but I reinstall Stylus RMX 5 times to get a stable configuration. Indeed, I encountered the following problem after the update: put the plug in 2 minutes before load in logic (that long!), Then he rowed and finally it was impossible to close it if it was planted the entire system and restart the computer ...! I wrote to Spectrasonics and ask them if there was an order in the application of the update installers 1.5 to avoid my problem he had never met before. Answer: no particular order to comply. The 6th time, I still tried the following order, which works great! 1 - Plug in install update 2 -
Core Library update 3 install - install Doc 4 - Sage converter. So why all the fuss?
So far, everything works perfectly!
The downside is the lack of printed manual you love always read at night in bed warm ...
The + is the DVD of video tutorials which is very well done and that we can complete with downloadable videos with the update on the Spectrasonics site. We can say that they are teachers! Chapeau!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Everything has been said before ... (See config)
To date, the plug-in runs perfectly, no lag. He does not train even if he is greedy and is advised not to open only one session at a time.
The multitimbral plug this is his strong point. 8 can be superimposed rhythmic patterns simultaneously and in real time without crashing or slowing saturation! What wealth!

OVERALL OPINION

Stylus RMX is amazing.
It will allow eager to enrich their music cuts thereof rhythmic qualities and intuitively. The sound library is huge and varied reasons.
For those who have time to tinker, create and refine, Stylus RMX will also meet since you can use sounds and plug as drum grooves and composing his own keyboard! All proposed grooves with soft sounds configurable and can be varied by the "chaos" that brings the random interpretation. The drag and drop is fun because it can take just played the groove (in drag / drop with the mouse) by the plug and paste it into the host sequencer. It then becomes a midi track on which to act at will and any change in its own way.
Stylus RMX is a monster creative. It multiplies the inspiration. It has the advantage of being customizable what is sought by all. His grooves become ours.
The sound quality is amazing. I was looking for a plug of this caliber to
offer my bass and my guitar a strong ally for the groove! It's done!
For those who want even more, it is possible to extend the bank of sounds and grooves with extensions that provide other styles!
The price / quality ratio is excellent even if I still hard to put that kind of money for simple DVD ... but what a job!
I use it for one month and it accompanies all my components in a + or - quiet.
Product to advise so.
