StandaloneHost by Larry Taylor
StandaloneHost
StandaloneHost is a utility that can host one V2 Audio
Unit soft synth. This is useful for playing soft synths
that do not provide a standalone program, without
starting up a DAW or other hosting app. It is
essentially the Mac equivalent of the popular SAVIHost program
for Windows with additional features.
