Full VST3 Support Now Available

April 2025 – Gotha, Germany – Black Rooster Audio, a leading name in vintage-inspired audio plugin design, is proud to announce the official release of v3.0.0 across its entire plugin catalog, marking the successful completion of a major framework migration. With this milestone, full VST3 support is now available for all Black Rooster Audio plugins, further modernizing their lineup and preparing for next-gen plugin standards.

A Major Leap Forward

This long-anticipated framework upgrade ushers in the next era of Black Rooster Audio plugins, delivering improved performance, expanded DAW compatibility, and a future-proof technical foundation. With VST3 fully integrated, producers, engineers, and musicians will experience benefits like dynamic I/O, enhanced sidechaining, and optimized CPU performance across all plugins — now built for today's modern DAW workflows.

The transition to this new framework sets the stage for future support of CLAP and AUv3 plugin formats, as Black Rooster Audio continues to adapt to evolving production environments and creative needs.

What’s New in v3.0.0?

  • Streamlined Performance: Expect faster load times, better memory management, and seamless integration into modern production chains.
  • Unified Framework: This update standardizes the core infrastructure across the plugin lineup, paving the way for continuous improvements and additional platform support.
  • CLAP & AUv3 on the Roadmap: Though not included in this release, these formats are next on the list for implementation.

Enhanced Plugin Experience

This upgrade represents Black Rooster Audio’s ongoing mission to provide cutting-edge digital tools with analog soul. Each plugin in the catalog — including customer favorites like Magnetite, OmniTec-67A, RO-140, and VLA-2A Mark II — has been rebuilt to harness the full potential of the new framework.

Whether you're producing in Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, or any other VST3-supported host, your Black Rooster Audio tools are now more efficient, responsive, and future-ready than ever before.

Future-Proofing Your Studio

As plugin standards shift, Black Rooster Audio remains committed to being on the frontlines of innovation. By embracing VST3 now and investing in upcoming support for CLAP and AUv3, users can count on long-term compatibility, cutting-edge capabilities, and vintage warmth with modern precision.
