VSTHost -> https://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm

I haven't really monkeyed with this much, yet. It is kinda like Steinberg V-Stacks or Xlutop Chainer.

If you don't know that that is, it is for chaining MIDI, VST, and VSTi outside of an actual DAW.
Sometimes this is used for "live" performance; but it also has uses for the production environment.
There are PDFs for using it, and it's "Slavery Suite".

I haven't actually explored the Slavery mode. So, I don't know what it "exactly" does. Here are some descriptions,

"It was just a little question in a forum... "Is there a way to route the output of vsthost to Kristal Audio engine? And without latency?" that triggered the addition of a slave mode to VSTHost."

"It comes as an effect and as a VSTi, since there are hosts that accept only effects, hosts that only accept VSTis, and of course hosts that accept both."

It seems like an interesting tool, and I believe it may still be actively maintained. Just wanted to share it, in case someone else hadn't already. Sorry if it has already been posted.

I haven't tried Console, in Win9x; I'm not sure it works. I've tried Chainer (buggy), Steinberg V-Stacks, and VSTHost.
Console is probably the nicest.
