<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>does anyone have any idea on the uptake of VST 3
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this becoming the standard and 2.* being
quickly</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>deprecated? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Comparing the two, there is a lot of stuff in VST3,
it</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>seems quite heavy, which seems to be a change
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>from the relative simplicity of 2.*.
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also 3 does not look </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>backwards compatible (so older plugins would
not</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>work with it). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the FOSS front then, with 3 we are stuck again
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>with Steinberg's terms. So my question is: are
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>developers in general sticking with 2.* or has
everyone</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>moved to 3. Again, my question has an
educational</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>slant, should we be teaching 3 or 2 (or both, if
we</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>are teaching VST at all, that is) ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
