Two years ago, I purchased Native Instruments Komplete 13. NI is now on 14 and I have barely touched all the products in Komplete though I have to admit my main interest was to enhance my samples with percussion and guitars which I have did. Now Komplete 13 is VST2 compliant and works perfectly fine with Kontakt 6 which I still use (with Sibelius).
Today I spent on what seems another good deal with Musio for $299 (I have been using Cinesamples on and off for many years now). Today could be the last day for that price - not sure. Anyhow, I may or may not be able to use those samples immediately since Musio supports VST3.
As far as I know my current version of Sibelius (v7) and the current version still do not support VST3. This is also stopping me from going to Kontakt7 which I purchased last year (with its libraries) before I realized there was a thing called VST3.
So for the time being I have purchased and wait. I have been told to check out:
https://www.xlutop.com/buzz/zip/vst3shell.zip
and
https://www.xlutop.com/buzz/zip/shell2vst.zip
which may solve the issue while I wait for Sibelius support. However, if Avid does not support VST3 for Sibelius (in Windows - Mac version already supports) in the near future, sometime in 2024, I am considering crossgrading to Dorico (which already supports VST3).
Meanwhile, I'll have samples sets already purchased from Kontakt7 and Musio ready to go.
Anyone else in a "VST bind"?

Thanks, Sam Sokolow that’s a great reference. I love that film. It made me think of Harry Gregson-Williams and the choral music on ‘Kingdom of Heaven’.
