Special notes

  • Plugins are 64-bit only.

  • VST2 support has ended.

  • Please manually delete the old VST2 versions.

  • In hosts which support IPluginCompatibility, the VST2 will get replaced with the VST3 version automatically.

  • The old skin and presets will get installed to ensure old VST2 projects can still be loaded in hosts without migration support.

  • The VST2 version itself is not included in the installer. So if you need to continue using it, do not delete the VST2 from your system.

  • Plugins have been renamed.

  • A plugin rescan or clearing of the plugin cache might be needed to update the plugin names in the host.

  • Some hosts will display the old plugin names in old projects.

  • The automatic replacement with the renamed plugins in old projects might not work if the host doesn’t support VST3 migration.

  • Your user presets have not been deleted, but the user preset folders got renamed. Manually copy your presets over to the new folders. Right-click the user presets folder in the browser and choose “Open in Explorer/Finder” to locate it on your hard disk.

  • Updated minimum requirements: CPU needs to support SSE4.2 instruction set (otherwise the plugins will crash)

  • Linux: minimum required glibc version is 2.28 (otherwise plugins won’t show up)
