NAMM Update: SoundToys announced that it is planning full VST support for both Mac and PC for the SoundToys Native Effects bundle and the native-capable plug-ins of the SoundToys TDM Effects bundle.

Full VST support for OS X and Windows XP/Vista platforms is expected to ship in late spring of 2008, marking the first time SoundToys plug-ins have been available for applications like Steinberg’s Cubase and Nuendo, and Sonar and Project 5 from CakeWalk.

“The VST platform is exciting for us.” Says Mitch Thomas, SoundToys sales director, “We get so many requests for VST support we had to make this happen. After all, we got into this business to bring cool tools to the people who wanted them.”

Once released, VST support will be included in SoundToys bundles and with individual plug-ins that are native capable. Also upon release, upgrades for previous clients will be available. More information will be posted on the SoundToys web site as it becomes available.

SoundToys today announced the release of V3.02 of their entire software line. This is a free update for current users and features compatibility with Logic 8, Apple’s Leopard OS, and DigiDesign Pro Tools 7.4 on Mac and Windows.

In addition to the compatibility testing, v3.02 also includes improvements in DSP efficiency for native applications, so users will get more instances of SoundToys plug-ins on host based platforms such as Logic and Pro Tools LE.

Fixes and Improvements include:

• Logic 8 approved
• Leopard approved
• Pro Tools 7.4 approved
• Improved Audio Units tempo tracking
• Improved DSP performance on Native applications
• Fixed a problem switching from TDM to RTAS
• Fixed window scrolling error

This free update is now available for download from the SoundToys website for all current registered users.

The SoundToys V3 upgrade includes Universal Binary support, Audio Unit support, feature enhancements, and more. This upgrade is available now through the SoundToys online store.
