Will we see the vectorial version of DirectWave in VST format soon?

I downloaded the DW installer yesterday and it is still the non-vectorial version.

Thanks.

12.5 is great - I love the Picker Panel in the playlist.

Freeze when?

(Sorry, I've not been following...)

Picker panel - Love it! Huge improvement to my workflow!

Great update especially in the workflow. The pattern picker is an essential improvement

Two tiny minor things though:
1. No option to not install the demos, or uninstall them after demoing them.
2. The browser needs more work IMO and to be refreshed automatically when rescanning the plugins.

As shown in the video, you can freeze (well, bounce):

An instrument with the new Create DirectWave instrument feature - 10:10 - Channel Sampling Robot (Resistance is futile!)

A pattern with the Picker Panel - 02:17 - Rendering Patterns to Audio Clips

...

FL Studio 13 will add some form of track based freezing. There are 4 basic ways people will want to freeze in FL Studio, and we are building the enablers in 12.5. Notice the rendering options to include (or not) FX.

1. FL Studio 12.5 - Pattern Picker freeze pattern source/s (ignores Playlist contextual automation)

2. FL Studio 12.5 - Freeze instrument / generator (50% complete, in that we have not automated removing the source Channel and replacing it).

FL Studio 13.? ...

2. Freeze pattern/s in Playlist context

3. Freeze complete Playlist Tracks

I'm assuming it's an fl plug and not even a vst, you shouldn't need to scan at all... weird. I haven't got around to installing 12.5 myself, we'll see what happens.

Bouncing or rendering or creating sampled instruments is not freezing.

Please don't forget the unfreezing part, which is the most important thing. FL is so NOT track-based, I wonder how you're gonna do it in a NOT mind-boggling way (for the user).

Hm-hmm, wait and see...

But freeze is a must, I hope you're aware of that?!
