Free VST3 and AU Hosts

OP-X PRO-3 is a plugin only and has no stand-alone application.

So it needs a live-host or sequencer to run, like e.g. Reaper, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Logic Pro, MainStage, Cantabile or GigPerformer to name a few popular ones.

In case you don't have a host or sequencer already or even are completely new to the world of virtual instruments this site lists a few free or cheap hosts for simple playing or even more complex live playing setups.

Free or cheap hosts for simple playing or more complex setups:

Protools users:

Since there's no AAX version you need a Meta-Plugin to use OP-X PRO-3 in Protools. A Meta-Plugin comes itself in several formats including AAX and can load other plugin formats (including AU and VST3) inside itself.
