Just wondering, and I hope so. Some of my favorites are Synthedit based.

Well I found this on the Synth-answers.com site:

SE is still x86 (32 bit) application and our plug-ins are 32-bit too. Jef said that x64 version is in development now.

So I guess that is some official confirmation. I hope it is not too hard for devs to create a 64 bit version of existing apps once a 64 bit Synthedit is available.

Probably will come, but old developers won't necessarily want to redo their old modules to be compatible with the new version.

Yeah, that's what I assume too, but I have a few synths from active developers that I am guessing will do it ASA they can.

That's the real issue - most people who develop in SE don't stick around much, so with almost anything out today your best plan is to just live with it at 32.
I wouldn't hold out too long for 64bit SE either, Jeff stated somewhere that he would start work on it after SE v1.2 was out....which still isn't out.

Synthedit 1.2 is already potentially compatible with x64 and OSX - GUI apart.
The 'Save as x64' feature is missing (Jeff stated about 3-4 months of work to add it), and he said he's looking for a OSX GUI library to start OSX conversion.
Latest SDK is 64bit-compatible too.

Cool! Thanks for the detailed update! I am a while off buying a 64 bit machine myself, but its nice to know it is coming, that's the important part to me

well, i know you make stuff in Synthedit. if 64 bit comes around, do you think you will you update yours?

Probably not, even SE 1.1 hasn't worked fully yet for me. I don't like how you have to uninstall before each new beta install, that caused my computer problems before.
One install didn't have working patch memory modules.
One install couldn't take a pitch envelope(drum synth), then I built the same thing in Se 1.0, loaded it in 1.1, and somehow it worked. Doesn't make sense.
