By version 6 do you mean Kontakt 6? I don't think any Native Instruments stuff has a vst3 version yet.

Not a single NI plugin supports VST3 yet.

Thank you for you responses. This product is basically obsolete without vsti3.

VST3 still seems to be a moving target, as I found that rather ubiquitous stuff in Kontakt like receiving Midi CC messages, is not provided by VST3.

I suppose Reaper provides some support for enabling this under the hood, but I am not decently informed.

Take a look at other product's available they have vst3 and 64 bit, even many of the free products have vst3 and 64 bit whereas NI has neither in there product. I would never pay the price they want for theirs when they are not in sync with other products available.

That's MIDI learn. And it's been added in VST3.6 as mentioned in a prior thread.

But yes, it's definitely a moving target.

You are looking at it the wrong way.

There is nothing wrong with VST2 - it works great and will continue to do so for years to come. VST3 has had an awful lot of problems for a long time, including just being too different from VST2 and many devs didn't like that. Also when you have quite old codebases (15 years or more, like it's the case with Kontakt and Reaktor), implementing VST3 is far from easy.

Not supporting VST3 doesn't mean the product is obsolete. There are still more DAWs that don't support VST3 that do, which doesn't make them obsolete, people still use them. VST2 will work pretty much everywhere, VST3 won't.


Also you're entirely wrong on 64-bit. All NI products have 64-bit.

Why do you think NI products are not 64 Bit ?
