SAVIHost Plugin to Standalone App Software [FREE]

Developer: Hermann Seib | Last Update: 25 June 2013 | 299.27 KB
SAVIHost is a little derivate of VSTHost that has been crafted for the sole purpose of automatically loading exactly one VSTi. To do so, savihost.exe has to be copied or renamed to the name of the PlugIn's DLL. If, for example, the PlugIn is called blabla.dll, savihost.exe has to be renamed to blabla.exe. Here, for example, it's PPG Wave 2V.exe: (Image above)

Note: in Windows XP, you can use the command
fsutil hardlink create newname.exe existing.exe
to save space on your NTFS-formatted hard disk.

Starting with V1.07, I've added a built-in keyboard bar so that PlugIns that rely on external MIDI input can be tested at ease:



What's that good for?

Well - some people have expressed the desire to run their VSTis as standalone programs in as simple a way as possible. Using SAVIHost, it is a matter of seconds to create an executable for the plugin, which can then simply be invoked by the familiar double-click. No massive sequencer package, no unnecessary overhead.

Special thanks to Hermann Seib who developer this wonderful software.
