VSTHost is an Open
Source VST-compatible host that:
- Loads VST plugins.
- Parameterizesing / editing them.
- Sound output for VSTis.
- MIDI-input and -output.
- Loading / saving .fxb files
- Supports ASIO2.
Changes in SAVIHost:
- Can be minimized to system tray.

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.
Changes in both programs:
- Wave player supports auto-stereo mode for
mono files.
- Lots of bug fixes and internal changes.
SAVIHost and VSTHost are free.
