    It hosts only 1 plugin at a time. A way around it is to load a VST rack as a VST. I am now trying to run Magix Independence from it which has multiple effects in it. So, with only one plugin I can get multiple effects. I need a better voice for VoIP. MAGIX independence_softwaresuite_32_dlm.exe Seems to be free, only nagging a little. The price is affordable, but I am looking for something free, as it will be used rarely. I went for Light Host eventually .

What is NanoHost?

NanoHost 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. This essential, tiny tool works best for live-performance, sound-design, jam-sessions and testing.

FEATURES

  • It can convert a VST-synth into a standalone-application. You just need to rename NanoHost.exe to the name of the plugin.dll and copy it to the same directory. When you start plugin.exe, the VST-synth is wrapped and loaded automatically.
  • The output of a plugin can be recorded to a wav-file in high quality.
  • NanoHost can create random patches.
  • It offers a soft-clipping algorithm with low distortion and tube-sound.
  • Scrollbars allow you to work also with plugins larger than your screen resolution. It is possible to display also only a part of the plugin's interface.
  • Midi-notes can be transposed and Midi-channels can be filtered. There are several Midi-velocity curves available.
  • Your current sound-bank can be stored and loaded automatically.
  • It is also compatible with very old 32-bit plugins.
  • It does work also with older computers.
