What is SFX Machine RT?

From the accompied Read Me file

SFX Machine RT is the real-time version of the award-winning SFX Machine audio multi-effects plug-in. Unlike the original SFX Machine, which used a file-based plug-in format, SFX Machine RT is now available in VST and Audio Unit real-time formats.

SFX Machine RT includes hundreds of presets, from conventional effects like choruses and flangers to unique, ear-catching effects. While SFX Machine RT is based on a powerful modular synthesis engine, the interface offers the simplicity of a multi-effects unit, allowing users to select and modify effects with just a few mouse clicks. 

SFX Machine RT also provides full MIDI parameter control for automated preset modification, using a simple 'MIDI Learn' system. This opens up new dimensions of interaction; for example, filter sweeps can now be controlled by your sequencer. Any number of sliders can be automated simultaneously.

Please note that SFX Machine RT VST is a Mach-O format VST plugin. In Mac OS X, there are two code format varieties of VST:  Mach-O and Carbon CFM. Some host applications support both formats, some only support Mach-O, and others only support Carbon CFM. Please check with your specific host software to see which format(s) it supports. Mach-O is the native OS X code format and the preferred format for VST plugins in Mac OS X.
