Common questions
Answers without the wall of text.
Open only the topic you need.
How does the 7-day trial work?
A free Moonbase account is required to download the trial. The trial is the full version of Inter::State with no feature restrictions. After seven days, the plugin continues to load, but brief audio cutouts occur every few seconds until a licence is activated.
How do licensing and activation work?
Load Inter::State as an insert on a track in your DAW. In the plugin, open MAIN OPTIONS → Activate Licence, then follow the on-screen steps to sign in and activate your licence.
For licensing problems, email admin@ravinedsp.com with your purchase email, OS, DAW, plugin format, and a short description.
What is included?
Your download includes Inter::State, Inter::State[Bridge], the EULA, and the privacy policy. Inter::State[Bridge] is included at no additional cost.
Which formats and platforms are supported?
Inter::State is available as VST3 on macOS and Windows, and as Audio Unit on macOS. Apple Silicon and Intel Macs are supported.
AAX support is planned for a future update.
Can I share chains with someone using a different DAW?
Yes. Global, rack, and slot presets are plain files, so a chain saved in one DAW opens in another, and in any later session, with its plugin states, macro mappings, and modulators intact.
The person opening it needs the same third-party plugins installed, since Inter::State hosts your plugins rather than replacing them.
Where does Inter::State[Bridge] go?
The Bridge is a plugin instrument, so it loads on an instrument track. That is what gives it MIDI in and its own automation lanes. It is a control surface rather than a sound source, and one Bridge serves the whole project.
Inter::State itself is an audio effect and loads on audio tracks.
Can Inter::State host instruments?
No. Inter::State is an effects host for audio effects that accept audio input. Instruments and synths are not offered in rack slots.
Why might behaviour differ between setups?
A plugin host sits between your DAW, operating system, plugin format, third-party effects, MIDI controllers, and host routing rules. Exact combinations can expose compatibility edge cases.
Plugin scanning can also expose unstable third-party plugins. Keep plugins and GPU drivers current, and isolate a problematic VST3 if scanning causes flicker or blackouts.
Are there DAW-specific notes?
- Logic Pro: High-latency features such as oversampling may require a quick transport pause/play for delay compensation to refresh.
- Ableton Live on Windows: If custom display scaling causes blurry plugin interfaces, follow the Ableton HiDPI guidance in the manual.
