End of life of VST2 and IPluginCompartibility

Post by b-h-l-d-r » Thu Oct 02, 2025 10:50 pm

Hi

Because of the end of life of VST2 there is way in VST3 SDK to load compartible versions of VST3 plugins as replacement.

IPluginCompartibility official documentation https://forums.steinberg.net/t/ipluginc ... ons/828525

Why Ableton doesn't support it?

It would save users a lot of efforts with old VST2 plugins.
