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.
Discussion
bftucker I agree completely and use the 32 and 64 bit versions all the time. Guilty of ingratitude, this gives me an opportunity to say, "Thank you, Hermann Seib!"
coincidental Absolutely - this thing is invaluable and I use it all the time. Three cheers for Hermann Seib!'
ElementsPlugins For people making / debugging plugins this can be very useful for quick trying-out. Especially when combined with command-line shortcuts!
dug01 I have Savihost running GSI's VB3 organ on my windows XP notebook. I am using a MIDI keyboard and a Korg Nanokontrol as controllers, each plugged into their own usb ports on the notebook. Savihost will only let me use one MIDI controller... is there a way around this??
