Wrong, only 64 times :-)

Anyway, a new version (1.02) of MiniHost is up!

Changes:
- VSTSpy improved
- double-clicking on plugins in VSTSpy works again
- better performance for demo-only plugins with
"no saving" message boxes like Rhino 2 or eJ
(preset manager window has to be closed though)

Cheers

Works fine now Toby !

Please sort VSTs in alphabetic order after VSTspy scan.
Like it is now it is very hard to find a specific VST. ;)

Hey Toby, McLilith outlined in a Cameleon 5000 thread how to 'hack' mini-host to run as an independant dedicated standalone for VSTi, he did one for Cameleon that was really nice looking, or was it you..?

Anyways..the idea sounded really great & I was hoping I could get you to outline how to do that again..

puhhlease?

@Midiworks:
I did not get what you mean - checking only for new plugins? You can do this by selecting "Update only" from the VSTSpy menu.

@sickle666:
This was not a "hack", this was a feature introduced by me! You can actually turn any of your VST synths into standalone versions by copying the MiniHost.exe to [SynthName].exe, starting it, then dragging [SynthName].dll into the title bar. For each exe file a separate ini file will be generated, so you can customize the behaviour and GUI as you wish...

Cheers

MiniHost should see NEW plugins on startup,
then add them automatically.

"Auto-Update only"

so, i downloaded minihost to put patches together for triangle 2, but strangely enough, every single patch is at full volume level after having saved them together in a bank using the preset manager. (this seems to be the only parameter however, that the minihost 'forgets'.)

also, i run into a few error messages, whenever i try to do certain things within the patch manager. (i can be more specific, if you're interested in details toby.)

and, of course, despite the problems it's still a gem. thank you! (i realize it's donation ware... i haven't really used the product until yesterday.)

I got a suggestion but I don't know if it can be done or not. I would like to see the option to run multiple VST instruments and would be able to select which MIDI device you would like to use on the individual VSTs.

Post

I have a suggestion too. Make an ability to have playback wav files bybass the vst input so one could record an overdub wav with a vst or vsti and include the playback wav in the new recording but not color the playback wav with the new effect or instrument. Also make an ability to record a wav performed while listening to a playback wav but record only the new performance.
