Dear customers,

As announced earlier, we would like to remind you that from next major release onward we’ll only be supporting 64-bit software as this is the current technology guaranteeing the best possible performance and user experience. As a consequence we are discontinuing the Steinberg VST Bridge, which was meant as an aid for the smooth transition from 32-bit to 64-bit.

For all of you interested in using legacy 32-bit products there are third-party products like jBridge that can help. To ensure a stable and optimal system we nevertheless strongly recommend using 64-bit and VST 3 software only. Please contact third-party plug-in developers to learn more about latest product updates and when 64-bit/VST 3 versions will be released, should they still be unavailable.

Let's hope that some of the developers start to pull their collective socks up and get their products out as VST3. It doesn't seem to be a problem with plugins, but the sample playback developers are being very slow.
