DR008
VST to RTAS Adapter v2
VST to AU Adapter v2
FXpansion's VST to AU Adapter allowed you to enable your VST effect and instruments plugins for use in Logic 7, 8 and 9 and other AU plugin hosts which do not also offer VST plugin support.
The Adapter used negligible CPU power and provided a simple configuration tool which scanned for VST plugins on your system and creates AU plugins from them.
Guru
GURU, released in 2005, was another innovative software product which spawned a slew of imitators. Combining drum-oriented sample playback, loop-slicing, effects and multi-part sequencing into an incredibly creative unified tool, GURU's design was the precursor to its spiritual successor, Geist.

BFD1
When it appeared in 2003, BFD pioneered a new way of approaching acoustic drums - dedicated and specialized control over drum mic channels, expressive drum articulations and rich dynamic and timbral detail over the velocity range along with built-in MIDI drum patterns called Grooves.
BFD2
Combining the ideas from BFD with powerful built-in mixing, effects and pattern editing, BFD2 represented a quantum leap over its predecessor. BFD2's completely rewritten interface and revamped internal engine laid the foundations for BFD3.

DCAM Synth Squad
DCAM Synth Squad was designed to provide synthesis with real substance. DCAM circuit-modelling technology meticulously reconstructed the soul of dusty vintage circuits while dragging them kicking and screaming into the future with new and exciting ideas: 3 distinct synth models (Strobe, Cypher & Amber), advanced but intuitive modulation and a dedicated environment for synth-layering, FX treatments and further modulation.
Etch
Etch was a versatile dual filtering effect with 4 switchable circuit models, additional distortion, compression and an intuitive, powerful modulation system. Animate Etch's parameters with internal LFOs and other modulators to create exciting, evolving effects. Etch was great for subtle warming, deep sculpting, wild sweeps and experimental sonics.
Maul
Maul was a multi-band distortion and tone-shaper with advanced modulation, suitable for subtle warming, loudness generation, shredding distortion and experimental creative effects. Maul's 32 distortion algorithms and TransMod modulation system could truly transform audio material of any kind.
Bloom
Bloom was a creative delay effect plugin for new textures and spaces in your productions. Its 3 switchable delay models and lush diffusion reverb were combined with frequency shifting, chorus and other processing blocks while the varied routings and advanced TransMod modulation provided vast sound design potential.
DCAM Dynamics
DCAM Dynamics offered a variety of different flavours of high-quality circuit-modelled dynamics processing. The included plugins were perfect for everything from taming tricky transients to heavy, creative sculpting effects and everything in between. Classic console bus compression and channel limiting amp processors were provided alongside a transient shaper and frequency-selective compressor making DCAM Dynamics a great all-purpose dynamics toolbox.
