Chainer

Chainer may be the best $60 you'll spend on VST stuff,period.It's a patch bay for all your VSTis and VST effects(and combined with VB's ffx4,DX effects,too).
It will let you mangle different combinations of synths and effects to your heart's content;add a little hardware(there's audio ins,too),and export it all as a .wav file,or as .wav or SF2 multisamples.Load THAT into Crystal,VirtualSampler,NN-19,Kontakt,CronoX-you get the picture.Add to all this that it doesn't use hardly any resources(less than 1.5% on my old 933 MHz PIII) and the fact that it DOESN'T crash-if Chainer crashes,it's either a bad plug or something's wrong with your system-and you have the perfect solution for a lot of routing,sampling,etc.problems.Try the demo if you haven't,and then BUY it...these kind of apps need all the support we can give them!

I know this is really old school, but Chainer is still my 'goto" vsti host.
It's simple, and it works, but only for VST 2 plugins.
Does anyone know if it will work in Windows 10?
I'm about to get a new computer, and really would like to know.
Plus, if there's another Chainer-like vsti host that looks similar, and absolutely does work in Windows 10 please let me know :)

Thanks, .

Steve.

It certainly does work in Windows 10.
Sadly no VST3 support or 64-bit version though.
