Defective Records Software proudly introduces VSTi Host 3.13x, the brand new version of the original Macintosh application that allows VST instrument and effect plugins to be used outside of.
- Cantabile is a powerful and flexible VST host designed for live performing stage musicians who want to perform better. Cantabile is the best way we know to play VST instrument and effect plugins in real-time.
- Ferret 4x4 is a free 32/64-bit VST plug-in for Windows and a 32/64-bit VST and AU plug-in for MacOS. It has been primarly designed to enhance the routing capabilities of eaReckon BloXpander (but it works with other compatible host software).

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. And since I got a rather bad taste of humor, it got the above title.
When started with the parameter /slave, VSTHost goes into Slave Mode and waits for a Master to control it. The first (and currently only) master is a VST(i) plugin that can be embedded into any VST Host program (even another instance of VSTHost), called Legree. 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.
You can download Legree here (.zip file, 209K).
Current version: 1.07
Comes in 32- and 64-bit versions

Open Source Variant
Originally, I made VSTHost available including the complete source code. Since I had to find out that (parts of) it made their way into other people's programs, and that without even mentioning my contribution, the open source variant has been frozen. I continue to add bug fixes to the existing code base, but new features won't make their way into it any more. Starting with V1.16k, this program is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser GPL.
Anyway - the important part of the program is an implementation of a VST host in form of 2 classes:

This implements the audio callback needed by an effect plugin as a neatly encapsulated VST host class. This is practically platform-independent code. The few platform-specific things are encapsulated in..

CEffect
This encapsulates a VST effect, as loaded by the VST host. Free music box vst for mac. This class isn't fully complete - since I don't have a Mac, I've only included the Windows code. If a kind MacIntosh programmer could fill out the few Mac-specific sections and send it to me it would be great and, of course, publicized here!
