Hermann Seib updates VSTHost to v1.52 and SAVIHost to v1.40

Changes in both programs:

• Lots of bug fixes and internal changes, especially:

• Incoming MIDI SysEx messages killed the x64 versions.

• A bad "optimization" killed MME Wave Input device usage.

Recent Updates: Hermann Seib has updated VSTHost to version 1.51 and SAVIHost to version 1.39.

VSTHost

It's a little program created to host VST Plug-ins capable of:

• Load VST effects

• Parameterize / edit them

• Sound output for VSTi (VST instruments)

• MIDI-input and -output

• Load / save .fxb / .fxp files

• I/O through either Windows MME or ASIO drivers

• Wave Player / Recorder

• MIDI Player

While the program started mainly as an aid in understanding and debugging VST plugins, it has evolved into a quite capable program by now which can be really helpful in a keyboard artist's Live setup.

SAVIHost

SAVIHost is a derivative version of VSTHost that can be used to make any VSTi run like a standalone application.

This offers two major advantages:

1. VSTi can be used (tested, checked or tried) easily and directly without the need or search for another host.

2. VSTi can be distributed to be tested in a temporary directory without the need of the presence of another host or to search for a dedicated VSTPlugIns-subdirectory. The VSTi-dll can still be used within other hosts like Cubase, Sonar etc. when copied to that host's VSTPlugins-subdirectory.

For use just rename SAVIHost.exe to the corresponding VSTi.dll e.g. if there is abc123.dll rename SAVIHost.exe to abc123.exe and this will run the VSTi.
