VST3 version not reported correctly in Steinberg Cubase #448

Closed TheAndyMac closed 1 year ago

TheAndyMac commented 1 year ago

The VST3 SDK version information is being reported in Cubase (10.5.30, 11.0.41 an 12.0.52) as "Travesty 3.7.4" rather than "VST 3.7.4" which means that the plugin is not listed as a VST3 plugin in the Cubase plugin insert menus and is also captured in their exported plugin information as "Other Plugins" rather than "VST3 Plugins".

Having tested on other hosts (Cakewalk, Cantabile 4, Gig Performer 4.5, VST Live and WaveLab) it seems to be very specific to the way Cubase uses this information, but it does make it confusing using Cardinal in Cubase, and maybe could cause issues when Steinberg remove VST2 support in the future, depending on how they identify acceptable VST3 plugins.

Of course Cubase/Steinberg/Yamaha tries to prohibit anything other than their own SDK to be used ... uhg.

dont think that is the case, not intentionally. they are likely lazy and just use the string from "sdk_version" as a shortcut to decide where to place plugins. they likely did not expect anyone to be using something other than their VST3 SDK to make VST3 plugins :sweat_smile:
