[Rwp] Ivory?

[onlineeagle]

I'll send this publically Christopher, since others have brought up other points which I'll address in this message. currently my Ivory library is on a harddrive that is only formatted for the Mac, so I'll have to copy the library over to a windows appropriate drive to test with Reaper. However, I've just checked in ProTools and the keysets are showing in the automatable parameters list. They are not showing as numbers; they are actually properly labeled. I'll go check in Reaper and report back. Also, someone else on this list has just sent us something that may convert VST presets into FXP files which, if it works, could also be very useful.;

Ivory seem to be quite good with accessibility, mn so much as they've spoken to me about the fact that they are aware of various accessibility issues and are addressing them in future updates. They said that they knew that parts of their standalone programme weren't particularly accessible. But the plugin seems pretty accessible. Hope this helps.
