is there anyone willing to share a vst 2 build?
VST2
VST2 is not free and open source software, and Steinberg, the copyright owner of the VST2 code, is no longer making licenses available to developers. With the Surge 1.7 family we are moving to having binary distributions of only Free and Open Source software, so are no longer distributing a VST2. If you need a VST2 here are your choices

You can download any of the 1.6.6 binary distributions. In the 1.6.6 family we did build a VST2, but as the synth drifted further from the Vember Audio roots, we stopped this practice.

If you have the VST2 SDK source code, you can build the synth yourself. Building the synth is relatively easy, and a single environment variable will activate the VST2 build. Even though we don’t distribute a VST2, members of the dev team do test it to make sure it runs.

You can consider one of the VST2 stub alternative libraries. If you manage to make Surge work with one of these, we would merge any changes required to Surge so that future builders could do the same, although would be reluctant to include such a build in our binary for license clarity reasons.

Current builds are vst3 only,
older build 1.6.6 family are available as vst2 and you could build the latest as vst2 if you want.

It also runs great in Unify if you are interested.

I even spent several days "Unifying" all of the Factory patches and the 3rd party patches. The unified factory patches are available on the Plugin Guru website here:

Direct link:

3rd party patches to be released at some point. I sent them all to John at Plugin Guru. It's up to him to release them to the greater Unify community. ;-)

Yeah, but we shouldn't have to resort to those things in 2021. :thumbs_down: :thumbs_down: :thumbs_down:

True. VST3 support will come. In the meantime, I can create with these VSTs via the workarounds. :-)
