Morning All! :) I have good news!
I just got the M-Tron Pro to work with PT 10! I'm soooo psyched! :) To be clear, I am able to access all of the sounds. I haven't yet figured out how / if editing is possible, but I can see all of the parameters, so we'll see. I found that the dialogue which comes up in PT when you access the plugin for the first time, which asks you to register is actually completely accessible and worked perfectly and quickly. :) I then set the plugin on an instrument track which actually needs to be a stereo track, and the window came up. Since I was unable to get sound with it at first, and seemingly was not able to change / set a preset I was thinking 'oh great, this isn't accessible.' However, I tried clicking on the librarian pop-up button by routing the mouse to the VO cursor and clicking my track pad. Success!!! the menu opened and I was able to browse all the banks and set a sound! Woohoo! :) Sound now came when I played the keyboard and all is now well with the world! lol! -Or at least with a world which contains all manner of old, somewhat creepy-sounding dark progressive tape-driven instruments! ;) Just as a couple of notes, as I mentioned above, the track you put this on does need to be stereo as this is a multi-channel plugin. This freaked me out at first as I couldn't find the M-Tron Pro in the plugins list. I was using a mono track just to test though. As far as editing patches goes, I'll obviously keep y'all posted when I figure this one out. I'm sure all the parameters are available via automation so this may be just another quirk like using the physical mouse to open the librarian. We'll see… Hope y'all are having a lovely day and talk with you soon!

PT 10 doesn't support VST as a plugin format, you'd need RTAS distributions of those plugs. I've used a bunch of IK Multimedia software, haven't found anything that's accessible enough to be properly productive with in the last few years, and have always been pretty underwhelmed by their attitude each time I contacted them. No experience with anything from GForce, but that's probably the option you should investigate first. PT doesn't actually give you hands-on interraction with a plugin's GUI as a VO user. Instead, we get a custom interface thingy that works with whatever controls a plugin developer has exposed to automation. We also have access to PT's preset library function. I mention those two things because you can often get a feel for how much of a plugin is likely to be usable by finding out what's automatable and whether presets are stored in each DAWs library or whether they have to be accessed via a swanky third party preset browser. There are a few exceptions to the rule as ever, stuff that in theory should work and doesn't, but it's been a reasonable rule of thumb in my experience.
