In depth
A closer look at SAVIHost
SAVIHost offers you the possibility to test a VST plugin before using it in a production environment and see if it really caters for your needs. Its main advantage is that it allows a VSTi plugin to be launched just like a standalone application. SAVIHost acts by converting Virtual Studio Technology (VST) files (which are deployed as DLL files) into executable ones (in EXE format). In order to do so, it requires you to replace the initial name of the SAVIHost.EXE program with the name of the plugin. The VST interface should appear as soon as you double-click on the new EXE file, allowing you to explore all its functions and features, without requiring a more complex dedicated VST host. Thanks to the integrated keyboard, plugins that require external MIDI input can also be tested.
