Reply To: New DAW user/ios controller question

The problem is that iOS cannot play VST plugin files at all. VST plugins require an x86 processor and are programmed for a specific OS. VST plugins need different versions if they support both Windows and OSX. So, iOS won’t be able to read VST plugins without extensive redirects, and in some cases, function replacements for features that ARM processors do not have but x86 do.

You might not have meant that specifically in your post? But just in case you did, I wanted to clear up that VST won’t work on iOS. VST developers can, of course, produce versions of their software that function in a different format, but then that format won’t be VST.
