As the title shows, would be pretty useful.

Hi @Drebin. We agree that’d be useful, but not sure it’s possible. For example, Logic’s instruments and effects (like Alchemy for example) use a proprietary format that only Logic can load. It’s the same case with Ableton devices like Operator and Wavetable — they aren’t accessible as standard plugins outside of their respective DAWs. Cheers.
