VST3 plug-ins are no longer limited to a fixed number of inputs and outputs. Usage of this universal character base allows the host application to display characters in localized languages. In VST3, all strings that can be displayed to the user are in Unicode (UTF16) format. SKI is provided to selected industry partners upon request. This extends to the ability to create tracks, copy, cut, paste or process events in the Steinberg host application. SKI is an additional SDK that allows extremely close integration of a plug-in with a Steinberg host application, and allows functions to be carried out almost from within the application. Optional VST3/SKI combinationĪs a direct result of the modular interface design of VST3, the Steinberg Kernel Interface (SKI) can be combined with VST3 plug-ins. VST3 also features vastly improved parameter automation with sample accuracy and support for ‘ramped’ automation data, allowing completely accurate and rapid parameter automation changes. This cleans up the mixer and further helps to reduce CPU load. The VST3 interface offers the possibility to deactivate unused busses after loading and even reactivate those when needed. Especially virtual samplers with multiple outputs often occupy more mixer channels than need. Activating/deactivating bussesĪ typical issue with current virtual instruments is their audio output bussing system and how they’re connected to the mixer after loading.
Instead of always processing input signals, VST3 plug-ins can apply their processing economically and only when it is needed. VST3 helps to improve overall performance by applying processing to plug-ins only when audio signals are present on their respective inputs. Managing large plug-in sets and multiple virtual instruments on typical studio computer systems can often be difficult because of CPU performance limits.
