I have now change my main DAW to Cubase 7 because of lack of interest of adding example VST3 or just making a simple bug fix update to SONAR X2.

Without to speculate, at the present time 2013-06-04 there has not been a single new update of SONAR X2 for over half year / 6month?  No official response from Cakewalk or any sign of interest of holing on to their customers...

Do companies like Slate, Kush, Flux, Soundtoys, PSP, Sonalksis, Massey, Lexicon PCM, Algorithmix do VST3 yet?

Professional users don't care whether a plugin is 2.4 or 3 and the fuss made about it is idiotic.  I am fully cognizant of what VST3 offers because I own Nuendo (latest build) and it is much ado about nothing IMO.

"all you guys with VST3-envy. Tell me why."

I think it's the only way I'm ever going to get my keyboard to sound like a real life saxophone.











There, I said it.

;-)

As a long time student of the saxophone I with firm conviction state that will not happen until vst6 :-)

Wow Freddie Yow revived a thread that was dead for 10 months just to say you were going to cubase. LOL

Freddie, if you're going, please go, and don't engage in troll activities, because that's all it is now, and it's boring.

You'll be missed, but nobody likes a troll, well, I don't.

I'm sorry!
It was not my intention to sound trolling...

You seem to forgot Waves, Melodyne, Steinberg, Cakewalk VST-softwares, EASTWEST PLAY, SPL, Brainworx, VIENNA, Fabfilter, Izotope + at least 30 other companies that do support VST3 already. 
 
Anyway I'm not here to argue. Its kind  of ironically that Cakewalk  do support VST3 on all their plugins but not inside their own DAW...
Have a great day!

Not really - almost certainly a lot easier (I won't say trivial) to include VST3 support on a plug-in than in a host.  Given the previous record of the VST spec being somewhat "flexible", catering with all the ambiguities when building a host would most certainly be a lot harder than building a plug-in, testing it in a couple of hosts and releasing it.

VST3 is important!

Don't you mean:


VST3 is important! ...?

  Sorry Freddie, I couldn't resist.

Its okay Mike but you have a point. It is important!
 
It's irrelevant if Cakewalk or anybody else feels that the new format doesn’t bring any new to the table.
 
VST3 is here and it's here stay, period!
The fact is that there are numerous plugins that do support it already any many plugins new functionality need VST3 support. That should be enough making Cakewalk add VST3 support to add these functionality to the program.
 
So yes, adding VST3 to SONAR X2 is essential!

Totally agree!!!
Cannot agree more!!!

Wish VST had been invested in rather than pro channels - PC feels like DXi - it will go the way of the dodo because its Cakewalk specific and no one supports it.
