NanoHost Alternatives
NanoHost is described as 'is not a synthesizer. It is a free, minimalist host application for Windows that can load VST-synths. Furthermore, it can act as a wrapper which converts VST-synthesizers into standalone applications' and is an app. There are more than 10 alternatives to NanoHost for Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS and BSD.
