"Unfortunately, we are not providing VST 2.4 versions of PLUG-OUTs for Mac OS, as indicated in specification tab of our products' detail pages."
So I'm running mine (VST3 version) inside DDMF Metaplugin - and for a workaround it's ok.
I wrote this to Roland support regarding the MacOS VST versions.
"Hello, As you may have heard, Reason 9.5 now supports VST devices. I have been a Reason user since its inception in 2001 and am quite excited to now be able to access and use the multitude of VST devices out there. The problem is, I cannot access Roland Cloud devices at all since you have chosen to ignore the VST2.4 versions for Mac. They are only offered on PC. If you would like to have a bunch of new customers, including me, signing up for Roland Cloud, I would implore you to make VST2.4 versions for us to use. Thanks for your consideration."
And their response was this:
"The Anthology instruments on the Mac support VST2, the others (Legendary, AIRA, FLAVR) don't. Steinberg stopped supporting VST2 in 2013, but there are a variety of third-party VST wrapper apps that allow the use of VST3 plugins in a VST2 environment."
Kind of lame if you ask me, but I guess they are looking to the future and not the stable past.
I hope Reason will eventually support VST3 in a later version.
