Is it possible to be able to use both the 32 bits and 64 bits versions of a plugin in sonar X3 producer?
When I scan,only the 64 bit version become available.

Are you trying to use 32 and 64-bit versions of the same plugin?  If so, I'm curious as to why?

Me too.

There is a scan setting that allows VST 2 plugins to be substituted by VST 3 if you choose.

Add to that Sonar x64's default behaviour is to only make the 64bit version available if both 32 bit and 64 bit are detected. There is no advantage to having both 32 and 64 bit versions of the same plugin. In fact there is likely to be problems as a 32 bit plugin in a 64 bit host has to use what's called a Bitbridge to accomplish this.

Actually I want to use DDMF Metaplugin or VstForx.
They are chainers and only manage either x64,either x86...not both.
So by being able to use both, I can launch either the x64 or x86 version depending on my need to use my legacy x86 plugins..
I think I'll have to try Jbridge

It would be neat to have those routing options in Sonars fx chains.

Yep...I sent Cakewalk a feature request...But I don't think they'll do it...

Are you not able to swap out the the 32 bit version of the desired plugin in your legacy projects? Another way that might work if you need both is to rename one.

Problem is that VST scanner does not display both x64 and x86 versions of the same plugin. Just the x64 version is displayed.
 
Moreover, it's not for opening old projects, it's to use them in a new one.
Some of my plugins are x86 only(no x64 available) and they do not open in vstforx x64. They will open in vstforx x86. SO I need to use VstForx x86.
 
I think it will be simpler if I use jBridge and convert all my x86 plugs..
