I've been writing plugins since the VST standard was first released. Back in around 1999 I suggested to Yvan Grabit on the vst-plugin email list to add a sidechain pin-property called "kVstPinIsSideChain" to the VST 2.0 standard. Internal Steinberg politics was already at play and this was never added. I also suggested it would be useful for effect plugins to be able to receive midi signals (edit: specifically note-on/off messages), which they did thankfully add, but I feel this feature is a lot more esoteric for the majority of their customers, go figure.zvenx wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 11:22 am As far as I understand it is that vst2 was not meant to do sidechaining, it was a 'workaround' in other Daws that achieved this.
One of the things that vst3 was designed to do is sidechaining.
Please realise that VST3 is about as similar to VST2 as AU is the same as AAX, ie not at all, so from a developer point of view it is a completely new plugin format to support, and VST2 does just fine for everyone, excepting that Steinberg make their customers jump through extra hoops to route audio to VST2 plugins in an effort to force adoption of the VST3 specification.
There are versions of Cytomic plugins for macOS 10.6 and above in the download section of accounts, but these aren't shown on the main page since the vast majority of our customers are running macOS 10.8 and above.zvenx wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 11:22 am(Probably same reason Cytomic's software doesn't run on 10.7 Mac Os, I am sure technically you probably can but the world has moved on)
, it will give you up/dawn saw and square /pulse waveforms
