I don't think so Frank. They're slowly working their way through their plugins and adding VST3 and the new preset browser etc (much needed for some of them!) but normally release a new paid update.

To get VST3 you would likely need to buy the new version as an update on top of this.

Love this one from GForce. Also have the Reason version.

69% off? Who came up with that discount, Bill and Ted?

I guess version 2 may be incoming.

I was temporarily tempted but kudos to your GAS-repellent, I think I'll manage.

Virtual String Machine is on version 3 already. Version 2 to version 3 upgrade was free. The recent synths they've charged for upgrades have had totally rewritten synthesizer engines and totally new presets. Version 3 already has a pretty big UI and sounds really good.

So if they just roll out a new skin and VST3 support + Apple Silicon support with the new preset browser, maybe it won't be a paid upgrade. But I guess the more work they put into it, the more justification there is for an upgrade fee, and fairly so.

 No. VST2 (32 & 64) Last release was v3.0.0  14 October 2019

Debbie the Deal Downer here...  I picked this up and never use it. 
The preset browser / patch browser is too painful - no way to preview anything other than loading it.  So unless you know exactly what you're looking for you end up wasting a lot of time.  I just don't have that kind of patience.

If they rewrite the GUI, then a VST3 version would be nice otherwise I'll probably just delete it at some point.

There is no AAX version of VSM for PC, only for Mac. That's unusual...
