DDMF Metaplug in Version 3... Still $49, or $19 upgrade...

Metaplugin v3 offers you
  • a "native" 32-64 bit bridge with seamless plugin window integration (say good-bye to jBridge & Co.)
  • a dedicated plugin organizer to have all your plugins in sight all of the time (just drag and drop plugins from there onto the graph area
  • up to 4 times oversampling, without having to reload the current plugins like in v2
  • a proper stereo sidechain input
  • support for Apple's native Audio Units that are normally hidden from the file system
  • while it has been a VST3 host for a while, Metaplugin itself now also comes in VST3 format



 
For those of you that, for whatever reason, still do not own this Swiss Army knife of plugins, the number of possible excuses has just gone down considerably :-) The price, by the way, has remained unchanged, it's still $49 + VAT where applicable-
I sincerely believe that this is a major step forward in the world of plugin chainers and wrappers. Hence, for the first time since its release in 2011, I also ask an update fee from owners of Metaplugin v2 who would like to upgrade to this new v3 release. For only $19 you will be able to enjoy all those new additions and improvements, and keep following the further evolution of Metaplugin over the coming years (all subsequent v3.x updates will of course be free again).
Here's how to update: simply proceed to https://sites.fastspring.com/ddmf/product/metaplugin, press "Order now", and on the next page there'll be a voucher form. Enter UPDATE3 into that voucher form and click the "update voucher" button. Voila, the price will be reduced by $30.
Please make sure to use the same email address for the purchase of the update that you've used already for the purchase of your current Metaplugin license. If you want to change your registered email address, please contact me before making the update purchase.

    Just a quick note, it won't bridge 64bit plugins in a 32bit host.  Which is kind of too bad, since that might let you ditch some 32bit plugins but still use 32bit hosts.  It also won't bridge AAX plugins into VST hosts (manual says there are legal reasons).
     
    Seeing a few other strange things (VST3 synths don't have MIDI input pins and I can't add them, PDC doesn't seem to take into account bypassed nodes).  The plugin scanner doesn't seem that bad, just a few crashes and issues (not surprising).
     
    Be sure and test the demo on your specific use.

    I'm confused as to why someone would want to do this.  Is this for old hosts?

    Yes, Sound Forge specifically.

    The workaround is to run at 64-bit and let 32-bit plug-ins be bridged surely? Wasn't this the methodology devised for many 64-bit operating systems in general. 
     
    Anyway it looks like a cool plug-in if you can get your head around it.

    There are a few hosts applications that have never been updated to 64bits.  They work fine with 32bit VST plugins on 64bit machines.  There are a few plugins that are only 32 bit VST.  No 64 bit versions were ever made.  Current bridges (SONAR's built in bridge) do let 64 bit apps use 32 bit VSTs.  But there aren't really good answers (JBridge UAC requirements make it a no go for me) for bridging the other way (let a 32 bit app use a 64 bit plugin). This update to Metaplugin doesn't change that.  It only offers 64 bit host to 32bit plugin.  But it's not clear that limit exists on the few pages of info on the site.  There is a 32bit version of Metaplugin but it can't/won't bridge to 64bit plugins.  It only supports 32bit plugins.

    Granted. When I moved to a 64-bit platform, I made sure as much stuff I used had 64-bit support. I still need 32-bit for my version of Superior Drummer. I don't think the new one has as much content and detail. I may make the move to Superior Drummer 2 at some stage.
