VST non compatible sous cubase 5.01 (64 bits) et Windows vista 64 bits sp2

Dear Cubase Users,

First off, thanks for your contributions about this issue. As this thread and numerous other feedback channels we have been monitoring outside this forum have demonstrated, we have underestimated the potential issues of the current x32 / x64 interprocess communication implementation used by the VST Bridge. We were, admittedly, also too optimistic regarding the speed of transition from 32-bit to 64-bit on the plug-in vendor side. We apologize for the hassle this mistake has caused for many enthusiastic 64-bit adopters.

Firstly, though, we have to reiterate generally our disappointment at some third-party plug-in vendors who are refusing to update or transition plug-ins to 64-bit in a timely manner. It’s - unsurprisingly - very rare that another manufacturer is expected to offer functionality to compensate for the fact that the original manufacturer (in our case those of VST plug-ins) has not offered a feature or compatibility with a platform, despite the fact that the plug-in manufacturer is the one that is providing the product that isn’t matching the customer’s expectations! But this aside, we also recognise that there are plug-ins out there that are discontinued already and won’t be updated at all, so we understand that, come what may, you would like to see a bridging technology implemented within native x64 Cubase versions that really works. You expect it.

We’ve been monitoring this thread for quite some time now, and have in parallel been investigating the issues reported. It turns out there are a few tricks that should allow us to get around at least some problems within the plug-ins themselves that cause stability issues, especially when running 3 or more instances. As a result, we’ve been working on a range of optimizations and changes to the interprocess communication, including a new error handling for 3rd party plug-ins not complying fully to the VST 2.4 standard, which should increase the reliability and compatibility with the majority of 32-bit plug-ins out there dramatically. Unfortunately, whatever we do, we’ll still see plug-ins that fail even after these changes, because the way they are implemented just isn’t compatible with interprocess communication.

Some of you thinking one word right now: when? These VST Bridge improvements will be part of an upcoming free update to Cubase 5 and Cubase Studio 5. We’ll let you know the release date for the update soon.

Once again, sorry for the hassle concerning this issue, and thanks for your help in making the problem clear.

All the best

Pour ma part j'essais en vain d'installer PlayVST pour Quantum Leap d'East West depuis 3 jours en vain... J'ai formaté puis tout réinstallé mon XP PRO SP3 - Rien n'y fait le Quantum Leap apparait et fonctionne parfaitement en Standalone MAIS n'apparait pas dans la liste de mes vsti...dans Cubase5

J'installe le VSTi Quantum Leap dans la chemin: Program File/Steinberg/Cubase 5/Vst Plugins/Synth mais de toute façon j'ai essayé TOUS les "chemins" possibles et imaginables même ceux par défault à chaque fois le VSTi est actif en Standalone mais invisible dans Cubase5...Quelqu'un aurait une idée? Merci d'avance!

Lors de l'installation je selectionne bien l'option VSTI et enlève bien la petite croix rouge devant cette option pour que son installation soit valable et lui indique bien le bon chemin précédement indiqué.(voir plus haut)

Quelqu'un possédant Cubase5 avec le quantum Leap East West installé pourait t'il m'indiquer dans quel chemin celui-ci doit être installé?

Est-ce que tu as mis Cubase à jour en version 5.5?
