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.
