. after spending too much time wondering what effects from vjfx.com would actually work on a mac w/modul8 - if they'd work at all - i decided to scrape up my vj tip money and buy the full IntrinsicFX pacakage. (and they were on sale, so that helped too! )
. edit to add - i bought the Mac versions, not PC (in case that wasn't clear)
. i just spent the last 4 hours experimenting with the effects and here are my results (running Modul8 v2.6 on a MacPro OS X 10.6.2 ) note: i probably spent ~5 minutes w/each effect -- so while not an exhaustive test, i believe all effects that are listed as working to be stable
