Use Plug-ins Outside Current VST Hosts Software
VSTi Host is an app that allows plug-ins to be used stand alone, outside current VST hosts software like your sequencer. It allows also users of Digital Performer, Protools, Metro, to use VST/VSTi if the software you run supports OMS-IAC (OS 9) or iMIDI (OS X).
VSTi Host allows one VSTi and 4 VST effects plug-ins simultaneously, AIFF file playback or real-time audio through the VSTs. Outpouts goes to Sound Manager/ASIO in OS 9, CoreAudio in OS X, or straight to an AIFF file.

Feb 27, 2005 |
* Fixed incompatibility with new version of Cycling 74's Pluggo, version 3.5
* Made application more independent of other Cycling 74-based applications installed on same computer, resulting in version incompatibilities. Should now work regardless of what other C74 apps are installed, regardless of their versions
* Fixed incompatibility with Edirol FA-101 Firewire audio interface (and maybe other Firewire interfaces too?)
* Updated addendum document

Version 3.11 |
MacOS X PPC |

Sep 2, 2004 |
* fixed bug that converted all MIDI information going to VST instrument into channel 1, instead of original source channel. Allows for multichannel plugins, which can respond to many MIDI channels at one time, to now work properly
* now compatible with Cycling 74's Pluggo v3.2.1 and Mode v1.1.1 plugins (with the exception of the "ShepardTones" Pluggo plugin - Cycling 74 has acknowledged a problem with this plugin that will be addressed in a future update; for now it must be removed from your VST plugins folder to keep VSTi Host from crashing at startup)
* fixed bug that prevented MIDI port names with no spaces in their names from being recalled properly from Preferences
* increased number of entries possible in both plugin and patch name drop down menus from 128 to 500 entries each
* updated addendum document

* added status window menu option, to display application startup and status messages (mostly for troubleshooting problems)
* updated addendum document
