- Support for 'clap' is planned for the futureaudiojunkie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 6:34 pmI think your misconception is that you believe they will support CLAP only. That is not the case. They will support CLAP and VST3. Why do you think they would drop VST3 altogether?jamcat wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 9:59 pm
So then Bitwig and u-he and Tone2 will have to drop VST support completely to try to force the industry to adopt CLAP in an “us or them” move (that’s why I asked if they are going to.) But that’s a power play that only Steinberg or Apple can afford to make. So in the end, the CLAP ends up becoming yet another proprietary plugin format, and VST3 remains the one and only universal format.
- VST3 support on PC had been added recently (although VST3 offers no significant advantages for synths at all. The opposite is even true!)
- VST3 might not be supported on the Mac, since we already got AU
- VST2 will be supported also in the future. We got no plans at all to drop this. We recommend to use VST2 if your DAW supports it
