Babz,
Is that right: "...they do make a stand alone version of M-Tron, so you don't even need Cubase or V-Stack..."??? 
Because what I read on the GMedia website says, as I've stated earlier: "According to the GMedia M-Tron webpage, ".....the M-Tron VST plug-in requires a VST 2.0 compatible host application such as Cubase VST or Logic Audio to operate.""

Could you perhaps direct me to the stand-alone so that I can further investigate???  I really appreciate, thanks!!!

Best regards,
Mark B.,
aka MSB
