I'd like to see as well iZotope & Waves give a look. Only downside I can see, like others have stated, is the horrible naming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niky Serrano Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) The name is strange, but it has sense Clapping, clap... I think that is not so bad Edited June 15, 2022 by Niky Serrano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the idea was dreamed up by the German folks, it may not have a negative connotation in non-English slang... In any case, it would not be a huge challenge to optimize the name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Shelby Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) They SHOULD just take the "L" out of the acronym and call it "CAP", which even makes a good file extension, but hey, what do I know?

Some new thing learned today for someone like me that has a bad English. Anyway, to put some of context in the nature of some names used by companies... Microsoft and Nokia called their phones Nokia Lumia Lumia in spanish is bitch Mazda named a car as Laputa that in Spanish is the same that Lumia And Mitsubishi named a car like Pajero that in Spanish is other sexual word I mean, naming is difficult, but when a word has different meanings, we tend to look for the dirty name instead of the correct intentionality Edited June 15, 2022 by Niky Serrano 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roseberry Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 43 minutes ago, abacab said: You should consider that many developers have struggled with implementing the VST3 "standard" in a 100% stable and compatible fashion. They are the ones pushing for this change, not end users or management. This standard appears to be more MIDI 2.0 and MPE friendly. There are no license fees, and if the development costs to write plugins with this method is the same or cheaper, it's a no-brainer for the business. Stay tuned... Based on what I'm seeing (from current adopters), those pushing for CLAP are developers pushing the limits of polyphonic parameter modulation. I'm certainly not against it... but that's not the vast majority of developers and end-users. Look at MPE support with hardware instruments. I'm all for it... but many folks use MIDI controllers without channel-aftertouch... let alone polyphonic. What is Avid going to gain by supporting CLAP? Keep in mind they never adopted VST as a plugin standard. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess professional producers using Avid and Cubase will stick with aax and VST3, as the rest of the world moves ahead. Or not. We'll see... only time will tell how this plays out...

While I have no doubt about the benefits, it's hard to bump an industry standard plugin format. Bitwig and U-he are the only "major" software/plugin vendors currently onboard.gger companies are going to be reluctant to make a change. Unless the entire industry adopts "CLAP" (that just sounds wrong), it's over before it's begun. It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good luck trying to sell a car with that name there! According to the car magazine Auto Motor & Sport, press releases had already been distributed in Japan with catch phrases such as “Honda Fitta is small on the outside but big once you've entered” and "Honda Fitta is a daily pleasure". When Honda had been made aware of the implications, the car ended up being called Honda Fit in Japan and Honda Jazz in Europe. And all the brochures that were already printed had to be thrown away. So indeed, there are many languages to consider in world-wide marketing. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Yeah. Wasn’t there a Chevrolet Nova? Must have sold well in Spain: “no va”. And I remember a Belgian chocolate cookie called Spunk. They quickly changed its name to Spink”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user 905133 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Tried to find out more about CLAP and found others also use CLAP. I mean they use C-L-A-P as the name/acronym (as opposed to using CLAP the plug-in format): CLAP (Careworks Learning Apprenticeship Program), Command line parsing with clap, Rust Command Line Argument Parsing (A Better Way With Clap), etc. At least with VST people they embedded confusion that promoted their company when people didn't know what VST stood for (Virtual Steinberg Technology v. Virtual Studio Technology). And with F'em, that was an intentional in-your-face reference.

A very important person with a Ph.D. did a video on a live stream a day or two ago and made it quite clear that VST2 is dead (Experience Neutron 4 by iZotope with its Developer Dr. Cory Goldsmith).
