I thought it was FREE?!

ah... I get it - that's just the standard window they put on all their installers.

There is no demo mode, it's genuinely free and fully functioning.

And a very nice sub-patcher it is too, I like the visual aspect. There's probably nothing in there that Reaper can't already do but sometimes it's nice to have alternative way of doing things,

Just one more thing to add regarding Minihost Modular...

if anyone's considering using it.... BACKUP your VST folders before uninstalling it!! If/when you uninstall the IL shared libraries you will wipe out your VST dlls. I actually only scanned \Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins with the program, but it also got rid of the Program Files(x86) versions as well for good measure!

Not nice! Thankfully I have a fairly recent backup of my vst folders.

Yikes. Thanks for the heads-up! I was unaware of this behavior, as I don't believe I ever actually uninstalled Minihost Modular after installing it (having jumped through all those hoops to find the installer to download and install it, it would have been a shame to uninstall it). I do use the application regularly (despite it not being updated regularly anymore by Image-Line).

No worries, I'm all back up and running now... and had a chance to do some house-keeping at the same time!

Does anyone know if there are any midi players that runs as a plugin?

Check out MIDI Xplorer at www.midixplorer.com (http://www.midixplorer.com) (http://www.midixplorer.com (http://www.midixplorer.com)) - works great! Was able to import my midi files and preview them in Logic Pro

Sounds like a useful little plugin. But damn... that website. Feels like the whole text and everything was done by AI. Maybe the app too.

Also, it is a MacOS-only plugin.

I can also really recommend MidiBro. It is on version 1.4 now. The YouTube videos about the updates are very informative.

MidiBro gets my vote. Up to date manual with new feature releases, stable at 750,000 files.
Up to now my MIDI files have just been in a file dump LOL.

No screenshots of the app?

As for Image Line Mini Host: a shame they let it die. Can’t run on Apple Silicon?
