Hi
is it possible to use this Plugin on a WiN DAW with a wrapper like Metaplugin ?

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

• Mac computer running macOS 10.9 or later, with either Intel or Apple processor
  
• Host application with support for AU or VST3 effect plugins in 64-bit format

 

i doubt that you can use macOS Plugins under Windows, anyone ?

 

instinct tells me no.

reason being is because the mac installer package (.dmg) isn't a format windows understands (which is .exe).

gotta get past that part first.

 

the plugins arent dll's either on mac

 

correct. even if you're somehow enough of a CPU wizard to make windows understand .dmg files (the installer), you'd still have to deal with the plugin format itself.

 

It might be easier to install macOS on your PC if the hardware is compatible

 

where i can i find a mac os iso appart from official places ?

 

The VST3 Version Might actually work since VST3 is a Multi platform format
but Audio Units is a Mac only format
Maybe you can contact the developers and tell them that your interested in buying there plugin but you have a Windows PC and not a Mac
at least that would give them A reason to create a windows version (would be better for them than Saying no to A potential costumer)

 

No, VST3 isn't a multiplatform format as VST3 in Windows is the same .dll but a bit modified and renamed.

@cEvin Key
It's not possible to use Mac plugins on Windows. Period.

 

demo is interesting

 

Sin

 

VST3 is a Multi platform format ... it exist for both Windows & Mac ...
But It is likely that just copying the VST3 file does indeed not work
But it should not be that difficult for the creators to Compile a windows version of it

 

Is VST2 not a multiplatform format? It's a multiplatform format too.

You confuse a framework (programmer' code, API etc.) with binaries (programs we execute). Binaries aren't multiplatform. Developers compile the same code for different platforms separately.

Even more, sometimes it's very difficult to compile VST plugins written for Mac for different platforms. It depends on graphical libraries they use, libraries of vidgets etc. If in GUI of Sinevibes plugins Apple frameworks are involved (Cocoa, Metal or what they use), it's needed to rewrite very significant part of their code to compile them on Windows. From scratch. If Sinewibes uses Swift language or Objective C (Apple creations), it's needed to rewrite this code too. The first point is very likely (and I'm sure it is), the second one isn't or less likely (audio programming is mostly C or C++ which are crossplatform).

You can use any macOS plugins on PC, and vise versa PC plugins under macOS via Vienna Ensemble Pro.
Host with your DAW under PC, servers with plugins under macOS.
But under macOS no [k]version VE Pro.
Authorization required only on servers VE Pro (USB eLicenser)

More often used the other way around.
