FYI, the do make a stand alone version of M-Tron, so you don't even 
need Cubase or V-Stack

I haven't tried the stand alone version personally.  I use it as a VSTi 
in Cubase SX, but I did notice that they have both Mac and PC versions 
of M-Tron on the GMedia website.  I downloaded the stand alone, but 
haven't had a chance to check it out.  Now with v. 4.6 I've got the VST 
version working great, so I haven't had to bother with the stand alone. 
  I believe there is an AU version available too (for DP or Logic users).

Best,
Babz
