I'm sure it's been inconvenience for long time, to resort to workaround in order to combine 32-bit VST's with 64-bit ones and/or use 32-bit plugins in 64-bit Usine. If Reaper can solve this problem with native bridging, maybe Usine can have this feature too at last? For now I don't have much need for 64-bit VST's (although I bet some of them are more efficient in 64bit version), but it's a shame that I have to resort to using 32-bit host.

Check out DDMF Metaplugin v3 A "native" 32-64 bit bridge with seamless plugin window integration (say good-bye to jBridge & Co.) $49.

Use it as a VST in HH.

+1 with this one.

probably this is a good start

https://github.com/abique/vst-bridge

"This is a bridge to run Windows VST plugins (both 32 and 64 bits) with
Linux VST hosts."

So if it can make use of 32 and 64 bits plugins in linux, there is some part of code which can be used in Hollyhock's VST wrapper to load both 64 and 32 bit plugins

Unfortunately it's an hard job... and 32 bit VST seems to disappear slowly but surely?

You're right Olivier. But it can give Usine a real compatibility for all the projects during years.

For exemple, I'm now using most of time the 64 bit version of usine, but all my previous projects are with the 32 bits. I often need to use a rack or a patch from another project, But without 32/64 bit compatibility, most of time you need to repatch the all thing, or find an alternative vst if there is no solution with the native modules.
There is too some very useful 32 bit vst only. Reaper is perfect for this, with a native bridge, a sort of "plug and play' feature. These is not a Usine issue, as most of the DAW are working like this, But If Usine could have this feature like reaper, It will be even more different and better than all the others.

DDFM metaplugin is really useful, and a lot more easier to use than jbridge.

sadly, there are many useful old VST's that will never be updated. let alone get 64bit version.
I tried Metaplugin, but it's a bit of a hassle to use and almost a nightmare to adapt whole workspace packed with old and 32bit VST's to 64bit Usine.

back again to this topic..
take a look here: https://lmms.io/
