I have some good news for those who might need to host VST3 plugins in VE Pro7.   I had tried to use Blue Cat Audio's Patchwork, but it was not 100% successful.   I tested DDMF Superplugin which I can confirm works 100% with VE Pro 7 on Windows platforms. There is a Mac version too.
  There is a Demo version available, for those who want to road-test it before buying, currently priced at £45.00 + VAT = £54.00   I tested it with Toontrack's eZdrummer 3 and iZotope's Neutron 4 with no issues.

 
DDMF Superplugin also has an added bonus, in that is capable of x2 x4 x8 and x16 oversampling for those who might need it to combat aliasing with non-linear processing.

For those currently hosting VST Superior Drummer 3 in VE Pro 7.

Toontrack recently upgraded their EZdrummer 2 to EZdrummer 3. It is worthy of note that this upgrade is only available in VST3 format (and AAX & AU).

Toontrack have said that their Dev Team have moved from VST to VST3 for EZdrummer 3.

Whilst Toontrack will not commit themselves to an unambiguous statement. It is likely that any future upgrades to Superior Drummer 3 are likely to follow suit. A sure sign of things to come.

VSL; Has there been any real progress on the VE Pro 7 VST3 hosting front?

Thanks.
