Hi Frank,
I'm unfortunately only conveying what the developers has decided in this case.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Best regards,

Hi Matthias,
but that is just - pardon me, when I say that - but that's somehow a little stupid and doesn't make too much sense as ---
the VST2 Version is working as expected - not switching to Mono when the track has more then just 2 channels...
Don't you want to be consistent within your different format versions of just ONE Plugin?
That is what a customer expects when the developer says you can have different versions of a particular plugin!
And again - softube is the ONLY DEVELOPER I know who is not willing to fix an issue that everybody else and the developer by itself has already solved...man....I really don't get that...
You know - the vst2 version shows that you're already know how to do it - so why the hell it is so hard to fix it in vst3?
I really beg your pardon - but help me to understand that please!!
Best and still friendly regards
Frank
