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.
