The new versions are currently beta plugins that are available at Soundtoys’ public beta forum. So everyone who has an M1 or M2 chip now can benefit from better performances. macOS can also look forward to native support for Apple Silicon systems. They published Soundtoys 5.3.8, which includes support for VST3 for both macOS and Windows. It took a long time, but now Soundtoys has also updated its plugins. The same has been true for Soundtoys so far, but now there is news that many have been waiting for. For example, Native Instruments has hardly updated any plugins so far, which is very bitter given the number of available plugins. Many developers, big and small, have released free updates. So in 2021, there was a big VST3 update run. With the introduction of the new Apple Silicon systems and Cubase 12, however, that has changed. For many, VST2, AU and AAX were standard.
The plugin format VST3 was not a big issue for developers until 2020. Soundtoys has finally updated its Effect Rack, and all 21 plugins with VST3 and Apple Silicon support plus launched a 50% OFF upgrade sale.
