Why are version 2 plugins not supported in Cubase Pro 12?

[Martin.Jirsak]

Hi,

@randy_underwood

Can this be something that’s considered a bug

No, it’s not a bug, it has been announced. Here is (one of) the official statement:

@Matthias_Quellmann

VST 2 plug-ins will only run in Cubase 12 in Rosetta 2 mode on Apple silicon Mac computers. Cubase 12 will not support VST 2 when running natively on Apple silicon Macs.
