I haven't had any issues with my designs on Cubase 5, 6 in addition to Wavelab 7.

Cheers!

Ideally, you do need to test each and every plugin though.

SM exports plugins using the 2.4 version of the VST standard - this is not officially supported by Cubase/Nuendo any more (since VST 3.0 was released IIRC). So SM plugins may work (most do) - but there is no guarantee.

Most problems that I have heard of seem to be related to the preset manager. Could be worth searching for 'preset manager' threads here - I think some tweaks for better Cubase compatibility have been posted before.

I didn't verify it (once more) but IIRC SM is VST 2.3. Steinberg dropped support for that but grants it for V2.4 which is the last V2 befor V3 was introduced which injected some heavy changes. That means if you're lucky it runs in actual VST hosts if not you're f***ed. There's at least on issue with automation and preset management, Search for Cubase in the "Bugs" Forum.

Yup, I stand corrected - you are quite right, it is VST 2.3.

The plug-ins I offer publicly is always tested on the most popular hosts before it is uploaded to my servers. I purchased an E licenser in spring of 2011. I have no issues with Steinberg software working with my designs.

This is why I test all my plug-ins. I have all the popular DAWs residing on Windows 7 using a dual-boot configuration. I created a dual-boot configuration to confirm there would be no conflicts using Windows 7 on the most current DAWs, since I am most comfortable with a very old version of Windows XP.

Upon Windows Developer preview (Windows 8) release, I have been focusing on making sure my plug-ins operate on Microsoft’s newest platform.

I don't offer presets other than factory reset and, I haven't had any issues with the current Steinberg products. Possibly things may differ for synthesisers however I haven’t had any issues with the current versions of Steinberg products.

Cheers!
