EnergyXT is a modular MIDI and audio environment VST plug-in that can host VST plug-ins.

It's main goal is to enable flexible MIDI and audio routing between VST instruments and effects, but the fun starts when you load up the chord and/or arpeggiator component's into the MIDI chain. The master output can be recorded live and saved to wav.

EnergyXT as of the latest version is now considered as a digital audio workstation. You can create music with virtual instruments and drum loops, you can do multi track recording and audio editing. And it even has its own built in guitar effects.
