VSTHost (v1.26) and SAVIHost (v1.17) released

Hermann Seib has updated VSTHost to v1.26 and SAVIHost to v1.17.

New features for both programs:

• Extensive Reassign capabilities; you can define the input channels for each loaded effect that has inputs, the overall input channel assignment, and the overall output assignment.
• Additional command line flags:
  • /noaudio - prevents loading of the Wave devices.
  • /nomidi - prevents loading of the MIDI devices.
  These have been added since there are conditions where VSTHost/SAVIHost can die upon program start, such as:
  • Changed sound card, but the old ASIO driver is still there.
  • Ruined Windows MME configuration, where the default Wave Mapper can't be opened or closed correctly.
  This allows VSTHost/SAVIHost to come up even if something in the current configuration is terribly defective. In previous versions, you had to clean the registry in such cases.
• The ASIO buffer size detection is much more robust and "intelligent" now.

Additional change in VSTHost:

• The "Edit Parameters" window has been completely redesigned. This is eventually going to make its way into SAVIHost, too, but not yet in this version.
