Produce VST3

#1

I’m able to produce a VST plugin instrument which works well in my DAW Ardour, but the plugin appears to be a VST2.x. How can I produce au VST3 plugin ? The menu don’t have this option (Export plugin > Export as VST Synth Plugin). I’m using Cabbage 2.9 with Ubuntu 22.04.

Thank you.

VST3 export is not supported at the moment, but mostly because I don’t know any Linux hosts that don’t support VST2.4. That and the fact that VST3 is no better than VST2.4, in fact, many would argue it’s a worse standard. Why the need for it? I can add it, it’s not a big deal, but it will be a week or 2 before I’m behind a Linux machine again.

There are a few posts on the forum that talk about VST3. I was afraid of missing something. VST2.4 is ok, it’s work well with Ardour.

Thank you very much for your quick answer.
