Yeah, I'm absolutely sure it's something I don't want.

Regrettable name, but if the format gets adopted by the Unreal game engine, it just may become a standard. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they got completely absorbed into Epic Games post-Fortnite acquisition spree…the same guys who recently bought Bandcamp. (Game dev is the next frontier of content, btw!)

I was quietly dismissive of this new format at first, but it's getting quite a bit of developer support from those who don't like the way Steinberg have 'retired' their VST2.3 format, and are very resistant to outside suggestions of VST3 changes.
With claimed multi-thread performance improvements, faster plug-in scans (on occasion I've waited many minutes after an application decides to re-scan all my plug-ins), and more extensive polyphonic expression, I suspect it's still the Open Source aspect that will appeal to most developers.

Steinberg threw developers under a bus with VST3 and then discontinuing VST2 and legally threatening developers. AU lacks documentation and is os specific. So the porter of u-he plugs to Linux made his own open-source format and even Avid’s interested. The op is him and there follows typical Steinberg stonewalling: forums.steinberg.net/t/vst3-and-midi-cc-pitfall/201879/ |

If you didn't notice already my first post was a joke. There's many advantages to open source frameworks and the bigger question is why it hasn't been done already? In other sectors these sort of frameworks are common usually with massive backers behind them, quite a few seem to have unfortunate names though like MS with mono..

Anyone here using Bitwig? That modulation section looks pretty nice.
Aaand: AudioThings Wires is a great plugin because its release meant I didn’t have to lug my poorly working wire recorder around anymore.
