Future VSTi Hosting

Hello Bernie and Andrew,

My above August prediction that the VST(i) support would be ready in late November or December was much too optimistic. Composer 2.0, released on December 16, needed to be released first before I could complete work in the VST(i) support. The VST(i) support is now scheduled for a release in late February or early March, 2007.

The underlying VST(i) playback and solidly working, but I have not yet implemented a user interface on top of that, which will make it easy for the user to assign VST instruments to tracks, and to route sound through VST effects.

Lots of work to do. But I'm no longer trying to do it all myself. I contracted out the underlying VST(i) implementation to a world-class developer.

Cheers
