Console is good, there are quite a few of the users on their forum who use it live.

I use it for inserting as a VST/i and for development testing, but as a platform for live work all seems to point to it being a go-er..!!

Umm...Live 4 IS a vsti host. What exactly do you mean?

something simple and stable for live use

I don't need any sequencing capabilities but I do want to add insert effects and combine vsti's.

ableton seems way overkill for what I need.

chainer is great but it is missing some key features (zones....blah blah)

forte seems great but a little buggy.

I have "heard" that V-Stack is buggy.

Did you try energyXT? It's very flexible and modular, and very good and stable for live use (so I'm told), and cheap as well... I don't play live, but if you ask in the energyXT forum, I'm sure some of the users will share experiences...

well.....during my lunch break I messed around with energyXT and I must say that I was VERY impressed! I wasn't sure about the gui at first but then I grew to love it very quickly.

anyway, I was thinking that chainer was the way to go for live but I think EnergyXT just changed my mind.

Also...I was trying to push it to crash and amazingly it didn't.

It seems like a steal for the price.

One question....does it let you set up zones for the different vsti's? I am sure it does but I didn't see it at first glance.

although i own eXT, i'm not an expert...

however, if you have any question about eXT the great and friendly user base, as well as jorgen the creator, here at KvR can answer any question in no time - just try in the right forum:

I use Forte for live use. I haven't encountered any bugs of note.

I use EnergyXT in Sonar and FLS, and have used it in Forte as well. I haven't used EXT standalone much, I guess because I already had Forte for that.

Disclaimer: I am a beta tester for Forte, and so got it for free.

Yes.

These kinds of things are possible.
There is a keysplitter project I describe on my resource webpage which should give you a few ideas, just click the related eXT link in my signature.

What vsti host........
