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.

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.

New in v1.32

• DirectSound support added (works in all Windows versions except Vista).
• Added /nomme, /nodsound, /noasio command line flags to suppress the use of the corresponding wave I/O method for special environments.
• Added /noft ("No Fault Tolerance") flag for debugging environments; in this mode, VSTHost and SAVIHost don't catch any exception, which eases the detection of badly behaving PlugIns.
• Lots of bug fixes and internal changes as usual.
