plugin (in)compatibility

 

The vast majority of VST plugins (both effects and instruments) work perfectly within VSTi Host 3.

The following plugins are known not to work, or to only partially work, with VSTi Host 3. Please read the comments section; in some cases the problem is simply a display bug, and the audio aspect of the plugin will actually work just fine.

Also note that we make no guarantees that plugins not on this list do work; contact us if you if have a question about a specific plugin, to find out about our (or our users') experience with it.
