I am a bit confused with the state of VST and maybe someone can shade some light.
* what is commonly called VST is in fact VST2.4
* the 'latest' version of VST is called VST3 and is not backward compatible with VST2.4
* VST3 was released almost 10 years ago (Jan 17 2008) [https://www.steinberg.net/en/company/pr ... 3_sdk.html]
* It is very hard to find or even download VST2.4 anymore (documentation, sdk, etc...).
* Reason only supports VST 2.4
Why is it so f*ed up?
How are developers writing VST2.4 plugin without documentation and/or sdk?

Hello, I do not see any way to install Helix Native on the mac as a VST 2 plug in. The options as I go through the installation only give me the ability to change the location. Im trying to use it with Reason 9.5 and the DAW does not support VST 3 plugins. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
