Hi everyone,

does anyone have any idea on the uptake of VST 3 ?

Is this becoming the standard and 2.* being quickly

deprecated?

Comparing the two, there is a lot of stuff in VST3, it

seems quite heavy, which seems to be a change

from the relative simplicity of 2.*. Also 3 does not look

backwards compatible (so older plugins would not

work with it).

On the FOSS front then, with 3 we are stuck again

with Steinberg's terms. So my question is: are

developers in general sticking with 2.* or has everyone

moved to 3. Again, my question has an educational

slant, should we be teaching 3 or 2 (or both, if we

are teaching VST at all, that is) ?

Thanks

Victor
