As I've stated before those things were/are also possible in VST2, so while it's true that Cubase and other VST3 hosts happen to implement these features in their preferred format it does not mean those features are exclusive to that format; rather that they've neglected to implement the features in other formats.
From a technical perspective there is absolutely no justification by merit for VST3. None.
Regarding per-note control, this feature is actually so underutilized that there is no justification to implement it in any other format and never was for VST3 either.
Notice that you said "I almost bought ..." and not "I did buy ... and use the feature on a daily basis which is core to my workflow and could not be achieved in any other way."
MIDI (unsupported by VST3) provides 16 channels which can be used for 16 independently controllable voice groups. For example a six string guitar is the most common application, and is an example of a feature very frequently utilized in VST2.
So, VST 3...

The coder's credo: We believe our work is neither clever nor difficult; it is done because we thought it would be easy.
Work less; get more done.

Well it just wouldn't be a cool thread if ol' jancivil didn't weigh in...jancivil wrote:So to reduce it to sidechaining, otherwise of no use is just another one of these statements at teh KVRs where someone doesn't mind not knowing before they assert their disposition in the form of a fact.
Hey jan, I always enjoy your thoughtful posts, alright?
Straight, no chaser... you are a quality poster and get some respect from old Grizzellda...** But**!!! you are condescending sometimes, and frankly, here you go.
I am not going to argue with Steinberg about technology, because I am not a software engineer. I said earlier, and others agreed, maybe VST 2.4 should have been improved.
"Note Expression"?
Who gives a shit?
