That is on a PC, yes? As I stated in the other thread, it is working fine here on my Mac system and Reason 10.4 which seems to indicate, that at least for Macs the plug in is 64 bit.

Thats quite unusual isnt it , that they only made a 64 bit for mac , they emailed me and said they will work on the pc version , seems crazy where there are way more pc users , anyway im not sure how many banks are worth converting ive only found one so far arksun , have you found more ?

Somewhere in the dim and distant past I found a simple Windows freeware VST host that would host 32 bit and 64 bit VSTs and run as a standalone EXE file. That would be prefect for the converter. If only I could find it or remember its name.....

ok ... this is an example of greyed out fxb patches... there were two other demo selections that were also greyed... banks work fine... patches for some reason always greyed out... this was in relation to my post that files were greyed out when I tried converting with the converter,

Did you make your library folder accessable? I'm not sure, but I seem to recall that at least in earlier Mac systems (El Capitan, etc) you had to make your library folder visible to access it... Could that be going on?

I download and unzip in downloads folder.... banks convert no problem there, but single patches are always grey.... it is not in library folder so I don't think that is the issue. It is a mystery to me. Not a terrible situation because many sounds to work with already, but it makes me hesitant to purchase any patches I might need to convert, since I can't figure out why it does this....since it works on patches for you I am leaning toward an os version issue.
mountainlion seems the most stable for me... every time I try to upgrade os there are major problems, I have tried a number of later operating systems and always end up pulling my hair out because multiple things start going crazy lol... which drives me crazy 5 attempts or so... I always end up reverting back to mountain lion in the end of multiple testing... even had apple on the phone for one attempt... they just try to sell you another computer and have no real answers it seems on this issue anyways

As I understand the manual it only converts banks not single patches:

"This program will convert Predator VST bank (.fxb) files to Predator-RE Reason patches (.repatch) files
• • •
Click on the "Set Original File" button, and then select the .fxb files to convert. You can also select more than one .fxb file at a time.
Click on the "Set Export Folder" button and select the folder you wish to save the converted repatch files to.
Click on the "Convert" button, this will convert the selected .fxb files to the .repatch extension. Individual presets are saved as patches.
For an example the preset "Arp : 1980" in the Introduction bank, would be saved as "Arp - 1980. repatch".
Note: the : is replaced by - to give a valid file name."

Hope this helps.

PS: If you are thinking about buying patches and can't convert them, hit me up with a PM and I might be able to help you as I have the working converter and the VST version of Predator.

I guess this post of yours made me think single patches were possible

Ok. Just tried it on my Mac OS X 10.11.6 / Reason 10.4D4: The converter works as intended here.
Pick a bank, pick a folder, click convert, done.

if only banks then it does work as it is supposed to... thanx for that clarification... I am ok with all that... it was a bonus app after all.
