Looks like the same will eventually be true for VST users and some older vst plugins. From the Steinberg website: * What is VST3? VST3 is the next major revision of Steinberg’s Virtual Studio Technology and follows VST 2.4, which is the latest current version of VST. VST3 is a plug-in standard, not a product or host application. In order to run VST3 plug-ins or instruments, the host application must also support VST3. * Can I still use my existing plug-ins and instruments? Yes. Existing VST 2.4 plug-ins and instruments are fully compatible with Cubase 4. Any plug-in or instrument older than VST 2.4 must be tested and potentially updated. I’ll reserve judgement on PT egocentricity :-)

Once I install and register any vst plugin, it works well almost everywhere. There was once a compatibility issue with waves plugins and Sonar 5 that was fixed in Sonar 5.2 and improved in 6, but the plugins are the same. I guess PT is too egocentric.

Bottom line? Great keyboard. And the Lonestar is still a favourite. Hey Matt,

Some are, some aren't. You can see the full list of plugins and the supported versions by Pro Tools platform <a href="http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?langid=1&navid=71&itemid=4767&action=news_details" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Most of my plugins had to be upgraded. As you can see from the list, upgrading from 6.x to 7.x is not trivial. Lots of little details to work through.

If you upgrade Protools, you need to upgrade plugins too to work specially with the upgraded version of PT? I don’t understand.
