    Never really tried it myself but heard from producer friends that it's not as stable. Just not an optimal solution.
    May give Bridgewize a try though and see if it works with that Bionic Delay plugin.

    I don't know what is your daw, but if this daw can be unstable after you bridged 1 vst... but I'm sure it is not fl studio =)
    about 5 years ago I bought asus eee pc with windows xp and used it to write and export melodies and/or other sounds (as wav track or as loop) created with old x86 win vst (made with synthedit), then I used these exported files on my mac.

    yes, you need effect plugin, not synth, but... if you still didn't find a solution how you can use this effect with your daw, I think you don't really need it =)

    It's hit and miss sometimes. Jbridge is janky and bridged plugins might crash once or twice but once you apply the proper settings for the wrapper it works from well enough (meaning it doesn't crash but plugin UI might freeze for a moment or two when opening it) to perfectly fine. I find Bridgewize to be a lot less fiddly and it works perfectly out of the box more often than not. Only crashes I've had are from the Edirol plugins (solved in Jbridge with the proper settings) and a bridged 32 to 64 bit Emulator X3 (still with jbridger. It REALLY wasn't happy about being bridged)

    There are many bridge tools right now.
    DDMF MetaPlugin, DDMF BridgeWize, Blue Cat's PatchWork, jBridger

    I using jBridger few years and I had problems only with bridged Auto-Tune. All other plugins runs perfectly smooth and nice.
    I used it with Ableton Live 10 x64 runned as Admin on Win 10 Pro x64 right now.
    Excluding Antares everything works without any problems :wink:

    only with ram/cpu monsters and plugins protected with hard third party solutions (ilok or syncrosoft).
    your delay use standart scripts from plugin constructor, it's cpu and ram friendy and working without anti-piracy protection. you can try with virtual os (or usb installed os) to check how stable it can work. max - 3-4 hours of your time.

    AudioSpillage. Those guys made some amazing drum synth/sampler plugins, but it seems to be abandonware now.

    It looks like @Talula links have included this and other powercore plugins but it needed a .pocolicense
    Without a license there is no access to those plugins :/

    Old goodies I purchased in my early days of music production include:
    -reFX Vanguard
    -Some SONiVOX DVIs like Talkbox Guitar (I still have my license file for this one but I don't have the installer for mac. If anyone has a copy of the installer for Talkbox guitar please feel free to send it to me).
    -Z3TA+2
    -Steinberg Model E

    I used the demo of some voice synthesizer called Phonem by a company called Wolfgang... something. I forget. This was a cool one but it was discontinued by the time I went to the website to try and purchase it. Apparently Brainworx took over the company but still no sign of it.

    Wow! I've always used Edirol Orchestral but I never knew about Hyper Canvas & Super Quartet before. Is there anywhere I can find them? I would love to try them not that I do know about their existance.

    Not sure if this will work for you but maybe there's still something helpful in it to make it work again.

    And your point is? Because I don't see any Synth1 references.
    Jep. Together with someone else we found a workaround - see above link - so you would ask yourself, why didn't they come up with this themselves to actually help a lot of their users? Instead, they do nothing but still try to sell their software. Very bad.
