Will a VST 3 fx run in SONAR X2?

It will run as a VST 2.4....you just won't get the VST 3 Side Chain Support or the benefits of VST 3 as X2 doesn't
support the VST 3 protocol...

Just as Vocal Rider is VST 3 i.e..(many others as well) and will run in X2, but you lose the Side Chain capabilities offered by VST 3

Sonar won't run  VST3 or AU or AAX or RTAS but unlike many daws will run DX

Thank You.

i think it's the same algo as the Pro channel , they just coded it for other platform and new gui ....so we can expect othe modules to be ported .....(console emu , limiter , ssl 4 ect)

Correction: Waves plugins cannot be side-chained without VST 3. The new PC2A will side-chain inside SONAR, as do Sonitus compressor/gate and the other Pro Channel comps. 

I sit correct....

You just won't gain the benefits of VST 3 in X2...

is this ONLY a format "upgrade"?  in other words, if I ONLY use the PC2A in the Pro Channel, - then would I benefit from this "upgrade"

I don't see any information about the plugin itself being "upgraded" but I wanted to be sure.  if the plugin itself isn't upgraded then I have no need to spend the money on it, but if the plugin HAS been updated then I would certainly consider it depending on what's been upgraded.

I use the PC2A in pretty much every project.  But I only use Sonar, so I have no need for a VST version.

It runs VST3 in Studio One 2, and sounds good! 

It sounds like you have to have something other than Sonar to get the full VST 3 feature set. If they're moving in that direction it sounds like VST 3 will be a new feature in Sonar X3. Wasn't it just last year that they said VST 3 was nothing special?

Sounds like the new skipper has taken the helm.

I'd like to try the demo, anyone know where the link is?
