Geoff Grace Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Welcome back, dementedchord. The reason we haven't posted much about 64-bit virtual instruments is that it's a relatively new development and far from all-encompassing. You have VIs like Play that offer 64-bits in standalone mode but not as plug-ins. And you've got Kontakt, which can work like a 64-bit plug-in inside a 32-bit DAW. Most DAWs are still 32-bit, so 64 bit plug-ins are of limited use. Logic has recently implemented as 64-bit mode, and Spectrasonics issued 64-bit beta versions of Omnisphere and Trilian last week. (Stylus RMX was already 64-bit.) The VSL Vienna Ensemble Pro offers hosting for both 64-bit and 32-bit plug-ins and interfacing with DAWs, and it's proving to be a popular way to access 64-bit plug-ins. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Next? Best, Geoff My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridog6996 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 By the way, you can still use 32-bit plugins in a 64-bit system. They just won't process in 64 bits. You might have already known that, but I thought I'd throw that out there anyway. You don't have to necessarily wait for plugin technology to update before starting to work in a 64-bit environment.

DanS Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 If you use Rewire to sync any of your programs together at the moment (Cubase, Reason, Acid, etc) I have heard that Rewire isn't going to be updated for 64bit anytime soon.

MoodyBluesKeys Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Just found out tonight that the little Cantabile sequencer/VST host has both 32 and 64 bit versions - ranging from a free one to a $129 or so full-featured one. I'm going to load the free 64bit one tomorrow on the new 64bit DAW and see what it will do. The download is only about 5 megs - makes a real quick way to do a quick check out.
