Please add VST3 support.
Please keep Ableton Live current

VST3 support sorely needed, as even now Roland's new plugins only support VST3.....

VST3 support is much needed for the Roland SH-101 and SH-02 plugins.
The PC version of these plugins are currently vst 3.6 compatible only.

Even Roland are telling me to ditch Ableton and go for a different DAW, see this email from Roland UK when I questioned them, time for Ableton to really give us VST3 support now...


Hi Mark,

Thank you for your email.

Now that VST2 is now quite an ancient format (being a product of the 1990’s), Roland looked at making the Plug-Out a VST3 rather than a VST2. VST3 has already been with us for quite some time now and DAW manufactures are the ones needing to catch up with this day and age by making their DAW’s compatible with VST3.
Hopefully DAW manufacturers who are still using this now ancient format will soon make a step into 2014 and will allow VST3 compatibility available for their users.


Please find below a list of compatible VST3 DAW’s which I hope of some help to you:

Cakewalk SONAR X3 (Win VST3 64bit)
Cakewalk SONAR X3 (Win VST3 32bit)
Presonus StudioOne 2 (Win VST3 64bit)
Presonus StudioOne 2 (Win VST3 32bit)
Image-Line FL Studio 11 (Win VST3 64bit) Image-Line FL Studio 11 (Win VST3 32bit)

Until this happens, I’m afraid the plug-out will only be available to VST3 and AU users only.



Kind regards,

Dan

Do it

+1 for VST3 support!

I signed up to the forum just for this

I use Cubase for tracking, and am starting to get into Ableton for performing live. It's a bit of a pain to have to reinstall all my plugins as VST2 versions. Also, the improved CPU resource handling is surely a massive win for live use.

Would love to use the Roland plug outs in Live. VST3 please

Can you exaggerate more? The percentage of plug-ins only available exclusively in VST3 format is very small.

VST3 support is simply not the number one priority. Ableton need to focus on serious issues that affect everyone!

Maybe all those people that bought new Roland gear like the System-1 might disagree... For them VST3 is a serious issue (I don't own one)

VST3 is out too long. It's time to implement it. It's not that your problems should have priority over someone elses...

It's up to the Ableton team to decide.
