For the record, I don't use Directixer because the two main VSTs I own,
Spectrasonics Atmosphere and Plug Sound's Plugo Soundbox, don't work
with Directixer's Generic Interface.  I use what little vision I have to
use these products.  I have no idea whether Stylus RMX would work with
Directixer.  I will let you know whetehr the product functions musically
the way Groove Agent does.

Hi Kevin,

Congratulations on your win there. Let me know if it works and exactly
what 
it does.
