Hermann Seib updates VSTHost to v1.55

Hermann Seib has announced that the free VSTHost application for 32- and 64-bit Windows has been updated to v1.55.

Changes since V1.54:

• Added "isSingleton" to Data\effCanDos.ini (see this file for details) for Plug-ins that exhibit severe problems if more than one instance is loaded into the same process.
• Standard version uses VST SDK 3.6.5 now; Win98 version uses VST SDK 3.5.1, since 3.5.2 is uncompilable with VS98.
• VST3 double precision audio was effectively disabled; corrected.
• Various VST3 handling improvements.
• Parameter window wasn't updated correctly.
• MIDI Controller dialog didn't display controller names correctly.
• If a loaded USB MIDI device is detached and reattached, VSTHost automatically reconnects to it IF its device interface name can be determined (still rather experimental)
  Requires drivers that support DRV_QUERYDEVICEINTERFACE (not all do).
• Built-in Reverb Plug-in added (adapted FreeVerb v3, originally done by Jezar @ Dreampoint, generously put into the public domain; www.dreampoint.co.uk was used in the readme but that is not working any more. archive.org, however, has copies containing FreeVerb from 2000 and 2001).
• Bridging performance and stability improvements.
• I/O changes during performance loading are processed immediately so that channel-specific links are kept intact.
• Built-in Audio Passthru Plug-in added (can be used to set up elaborate channel splits / concentrators).
• Built-in Submixer Plug-in added (setting special channel configurations using the "Chain after" dialog doesn't work yet).
• Added pre-chained MIDI Plug-ins and "All linked Plug-ins" to possible sources for a Plug-in's Remote Control.
• Fixed a bug that ruined compatibility with Voicemeeter (with or without Banana:-) and other ASIO drivers that use IEE754 32-bit floating point format buffers.

... plus quite some other changes which don't really deserve mentioning here.
