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.

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.

Your download includes Inter::State, Inter::State[Bridge], the EULA, and the privacy policy. Inter::State[Bridge] is included at no additional cost.

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.

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.

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.

In Logic Pro, that instrument track must stay loaded. If Follow links do nothing until you select the Bridge track, see Follow links in Logic Pro.

Logic Pro can leave unused software-instrument tracks unloaded when Only load plug-ins needed for project playback is enabled under File → Project Settings → General. Inter::State[Bridge] is a plugin instrument. If that track has no MIDI regions, Logic may not load the Bridge when the project opens.

Follow links live on the Bridge instance. Until Logic loads it, followers do not follow. Selecting the Bridge track loads the instance; you do not need to open the Bridge editor.

To keep the Bridge loaded when the project opens, uncheck that setting for the project, or place an empty MIDI region on the Bridge track.

No. Inter::State is an effects host for audio effects that accept audio input. Instruments and synths are not offered in rack slots.

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.

• Logic Pro: High-latency features such as oversampling may require a quick transport pause/play for delay compensation to refresh.
• Logic Pro: Follow links can stay inactive until the Inter::State[Bridge] track is selected if Logic has not loaded that instrument instance. See Follow links in Logic Pro.
• Ableton Live on Windows: If custom display scaling causes blurry plugin interfaces, follow the Ableton HiDPI guidance in the manual.
