Hi, Dale, Herbert:

Herbert is right: use VSTHost for multiple instrument configurations or for having several VSTs or VSTis in one configuration. If you have multiple configurations, though, you do have to select which one you are going to use for that instance from a drop-down list.

I suggested SAVIHost because it can be configured as a dedicated host that lets you click once on an icon and have the ready-to-go VST come up at once.

Different strokes.

Regarding system hangs:

I see that Midi-Yoke is a multi-client port, which means that it can accept input from multiple sources. When Notation starts up, it connects to all of the unclaimed ports that it can find. If the port is not multi-client and you then try to start your VST host using a port that Notation has already connected to, you'll get a system hang.

The multi-client aspect gets around that, by letting more than one client connect.

Maplemidi and Hubi's Loopback are single client ports. Midi-Yoke and LoopBe1 are multi-client. Midi Connection Center, I'm not sure about.
