Hermann Seib
VSTHost and
SAVIHost
New Update:
Hermann Seib updates VSTHost to v1.57 and SAVIHost to v1.43
Changes in VSTHost:
-
32-bit version created with
Visual Studio 2008 instead of Visual Studio 6 for added UI capabilities; for
Windows 98, there's a separate version available now that's still done with
VS6.
-
Loading of similar
performances is much faster.
-
PlugIn scans remember bad
PlugIns and don't retry them.
-
MIDI Clock can be sent to
configurable MIDI devices.
-
PlugIn menu bar break can
be configured.
-
PlugIns can be "labeled" by
double-clicking on the PlugIn frame's lower text line.
-
Pressing Ctrl while loading
a PlugIn toggles the /runBridged command line option.
-
Pressing Ctrl+Shift while
loading a PlugIn toggles the /forceBridged command line option.
Corrected Auto-Stereo
option for Mono PlugIns.
Expanded .vstxml file
capabilities.
Manual can be opened from
menu if downloaded into VSTHost directory.
MIDI->Parameter conversions
enhanced.
MIDI File Player can load
.kar files now (small improvement).
Added built-in PlugIns for
common MIDI configuration tasks.
/maxchn=xx command line
parameter and MaxChannels=xx .ini file setting added for the (rare) setups
where more than 32 ASIO I/O channels are needed.
Changes in SAVIHost:
Changes in both programs:
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.

2000 up. |

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:
-
VSTi
can be used (tested, checked or tried) easily and directly without the
need or search for another host.
-
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.
Free Download SAVIHost 1.43:
Current version: 1.43 - VST 2.4rev2 / Module Architecture /
3.5 + ASIO 2.2 support, separate .WAV Player/Recorder.
