With VST, Steinberg established one of the world’s leading and most widely supported standards for plug-ins and virtual instruments in 1996. With this latest major revision, VST3 marks an important milestone in audio technology with a completely rewritten code base that provides the most stable and reliable VST platform to date, as well as a range of new features.
Initially launched in 1996, the VST software interface allowed any digital audio environment that supported the new standard to integrate software recreations of hardware effect units and instruments, and therefore constituted nothing short of a revolution in digital audio.
Being an open standard, the possibilities offered by VST grew steadily over the years. With VST 3, further advancements to the technology standard were introduced in 2008. Sample-accurate automation, 64-bit processing and multiple MIDI inputs and outputs were only a few of the many features that opened up a new scope of opportunities for innovative product design.
Senior marketing manager Timo Wildenhain comments: “We are delighted to see that NUGEN Audio’s whole portfolio of professional audio tools is fully compliant with VST 3. As a part of our ever-expanding VST 3 developer base, the co-operation with NUGEN Audio has been very rewarding for both of us. NUGEN Audio is well-known for its highly innovative plug-ins and tools for audio professionals.
