I need an x64 host that, ideally, will just load one plugin and show that plugin's U/I. It does not have to do any kind of fancy chaining or modulation. I thought that there was something like this, but I can't find it at the moment. If push comes to shove I'll just create a quick Max app, but that will be slow to load.
I guess what I'm looking for is something like SaviHost, but not for VSTis. I want to use it to create a standalone guitar rack. Minihost would be fine if it were 64 bit.

I could do a x64 compile of the JUCE host example?
Here is the 32-bit version:-

Thanks for the offer. I was thinking that there had to be something straightforward and simple out there. Fact is, it took less time than it did to do a few google searches to set something up in Max that gets the job done. Since I need it by tomorrow and it in no way needs to be general purpose, I'm just going to go with that.

Good question, I didn't try TBH, the website says specifically for VSTi and you would need the audio input routing for an effect.Chapelle wrote:Doesn't Savihost also work with VST effects?
It's worth answering in this thread if someone knows.

SAVIHost works with all VSTs - I use it to run my Windows audio through an EQ and it works perfectly.

SaviHost works, I used it, but now I use LiveProfessor 2, but that is not free.
LiveProfessor 1 has a free version but it seems one can not download it any longer

less frickle setting up chains, waay less confusing.
No doubt: Savihost works fine and gets the job done, but I find it very hard to understand and set up.
LiveProfessor 2 can be used like a daw. You set up a chain, insert plugins, replace plugins, move plugins etc...
LiveProfessorFree was about in the middle between Savi and LiveProfessor 2 in case of usability

I see. I don't need that for this. That's exactly what Magma does and I really like how it works. It's fast, lightweight, and since it can load itself you can setup really any degree of serial/parallel structures. It also has modulation features built in that work well.rasmusklump wrote:less frickle setting up chains, waay less confusing.

That's all I need this for, to host Magma when I want to use it standalone.

I would definitely pay 10-$20 if someone could code TobyBear's Minihost to 64 bit. Oh and add the ability easily bring in effects. Savihost has been really unstable for me and isn't the cleanest solution.
Even I was offended by what I was going to put here.

You mean to clone it? I don't believe that it's open source, no?Chemik wrote:I would definitely pay 10-$20 if someone could code TobyBear's Minihost to 64 bit. Oh and add the ability easily bring in effects. Savihost has been really unstable for me and isn't the cleanest solution.
