Hello, I am a student at SAE Athens College. I am working on my graduate thesis which is about procedural audio in game audio. Also in order to complete my project, I have to export a Max/Msp patch into a VST via RNBO for Max. I would like to ask, if a VST plugin that’s have been created from RNBO is going to be usable inside FMOD? I would like to clarify that RNBO exports a Max patch as a VST3 plug in.

Hi, Unfortunately, we do not support VSTs. But, we do support DLLs exported from RNBO. You can look and the core API example included with the engine download here: C:\Program Files (x86)\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD Studio API Windows\api\core\examples\plugins\fmod_rnbo.cpp for more info. Hope this helps.

I am a Mac user. So your answer supports Mac ?
